In downstream processes of the oil and gas industry, for example in amine processing or in processes in which crude oil is processed into finished, marketable petroleum products such askerosene,diesel,lubricants, gasoline, etc., reliable filtration at maximum flow rates is required. Module filters with automatic backflushing offer an almost maintenance-free and high-performance solution, which regenerates reliably without the use of consumables. Guaranteeing effective regeneration with a continuousandconsistentlyhigh filtration performance is a technically demanding challenge which is made possible by FAUDI modular filter systems. Due to the modular design of FAUDI’s automatic modular filter systems, not only the dimensioning of the filters can be optimally adapted to customer-specific applications, but also an effective and sustainable regeneration can be guaranteed.
HOW DOES A MODULEFILTER WORK?
Filtration:
The medium which has to be filtered passes through the header pipe and is evenly distributed to the filter modules arranged in parallel. Inside the filter modules are several cylindrical filter elements on which the medium flows from the outside to the inside. The impurities are deposited on the outer surface of the filter element and form a layer. The filtered medium then exits the filter module as a cleaned medium and flows into the outlet header pipe.
Backflushing process:
In the course of filtration, the differential pressure increases due to the growing dirt layer on the outer surface of the filter element. As soon as the specified differential pressure is reached, upstream valves isolate the filter module which is to be cleaned from the filtration process and initiate the self-cleaning process by backflushing. The remaining operative filter modules ensure continuous filtration operation.
