Industrial Water Treatment & Filtration Systems

Industrial and commercial facilities require water treatment solutions engineered for continuous high-volume operation. WorldwideTradeX supplies the complete Komfortia industrial line — from pre-filtration to advanced purification — for factories, hotels, hospitals, food processing plants, and municipal water systems.

Surface Pipe Filtration Systems

Surface pipe filtration systems feature external pipe routing — all components are accessible from outside the unit without disassembly. This design is preferred for large industrial and commercial installations where:

• Maintenance access is critical (no downtime for servicing)


• High flow rates are required (>10 m³/h)


• Modular expansion may be needed


• Multiple filtration stages must be combined in sequence

• Process water treatment in manufacturing


• Swimming pools and aquaparks


• Drinking water preparation at industrial scale


• Pre-treatment before reverse osmosis systems

Filtration System Types

Sand Filtration Systems

The most widely used industrial pre-filtration technology. Water passes through a bed of graded quartz sand, removing suspended solids, turbidity, and sediment down to 20–40 microns.

Specifications:

• Vessels: FRP (fiberglass-reinforced polyester) or stainless steel


• Flow rates: 5–500 m³/h (single vessel)


• Backwash: automatic timer or differential pressure trigger


• Media: quartz sand, gravel support layers


• Operating pressure: up to 6 bar

Activated Carbon Filtration Systems

Activated carbon (GAC — Granular Activated Carbon) removes chlorine, chloramines, organic compounds, pesticides, and taste/odor compounds through adsorption.

Key parameters:

• Iodine number: 900–1100 mg/g (indicator of adsorption capacity)


• Contact time: minimum 10 minutes EBCT (Empty Bed Contact Time)


• Regeneration: thermal reactivation or media replacement every 2–5 years


• Vessels: same as sand filtration, often installed in series

AS-Fe-Mn Iron & Manganese Removal Systems

Excess iron (>0.2 mg/L) and manganese (>0.05 mg/L) cause staining, fouling, taste problems, and equipment damage. AS-Fe-Mn catalytic filtration systems oxidize and filter these metals in a single pass.

Process:

1. Aeration or chemical oxidation (optional pre-step)


2. Catalytic filtration media (manganese dioxide-coated)


3. Backwash to remove precipitated metals

• Iron: from >10 mg/L to <0.05 mg/L


• Manganese: from >2 mg/L to <0.02 mg/L


• Arsenic: available in specialized AS-grade media

Glass Filtration Systems

Recycled glass media provides superior filtration compared to sand — finer particle capture (5–10 microns vs 20–40 microns for sand) with lower backwash water consumption.

Advantages over sand:

• 30% less backwash water required


• Smoother surface — less biofilm formation


• Longer media life (10+ years vs 5–7 years for sand)


• Better clarity for pool and drinking water applications

Filter-Ag Plus Systems

Filter-Ag Plus is a lightweight, high-surface-area synthetic filtration media that provides fine mechanical filtration (10–20 microns) with excellent flow characteristics.

Advantages:

• Lower pressure drop than sand at equivalent flow rates


• Effective for fine sediment, silt, and colloidal particles


• Compatible with all standard filter vessels


• Suitable for high-flow industrial applications

Industrial Water Softeners

Ion exchange softeners remove calcium and magnesium (hardness) by exchanging them for sodium ions. Essential for boiler feed water, steam generation, and any process sensitive to scale.

Configurations:

• Simplex: Single vessel, regeneration causes brief downtime


• Duplex: Two vessels alternating — continuous soft water supply 24/7


• Triplex: Three vessels for very high flow rates with redundancy

• Resin capacity: 50–5,000 liters per vessel


• Flow rates: 1–200 m³/h


• Regeneration: automatic timer or volume-based (salt brine)


• Output hardness: <1°dH (near-zero hardness)

Ultrafiltration (UF) Membranes

UF membranes remove particles down to 0.01–0.1 microns — including bacteria, viruses, colloids, and suspended solids — without chemicals.

Key advantages:

• Consistent output quality regardless of feed water variation


• No chemical disinfection required (physical barrier)


• Compact footprint vs conventional clarification


• Suitable as pre-treatment before RO systems

UV Disinfection Systems

UV-C light (254nm wavelength) destroys the DNA of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa — including Legionella, E.coli, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia — without adding chemicals.

Specifications:

• UV dose: 40 mJ/cm² (standard disinfection), 186 mJ/cm² (Cryptosporidium)


• Flow rates: 0.5–500 m³/h


• Lamp life: 9,000–12,000 hours


• Monitoring: UV intensity sensor with alarm


• Certifications: DVGW, NSF/ANSI 55
