Babcock Wanson, specialist in boiler house and water treatment solutions, provides a wide range of water filtration systems for industry. Our team stands ready to design and install the most efficient and cost-effective equipment for each individual application. Each filtration system is unique and custom-built to suit the requirements of the process.
Different filtering media is utilised according to the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of the raw water and the desired final water quality. Sand / Silex filtration is usually used to remove large particles up to 25 µm from the water. Hydro-anthracite / Silex double bed allows a better retention of suspended solids. Activated carbon filtration is mainly used to remove organic matter, heavy metals, halogenated substances such as chlorine, pesticides and compounds that can result in impaired taste or unpleasant odour.
Babcock Wanson has designed simplex multi-valve filters which can be operated in duplex, triplex, and multiplex arrangements. Electronic control units with rotary distributors connected to each section by communication cables. Programming of this control unit allows alternate or parallel operation.
