Desalination and how to Reduce CAPEX/OPEX with Advanced Pre-filtration?

Thursday, May 5th, 2022

Desalination and how to Reduce CAPEX/OPEX with Advanced Pre-filtration?

Urbanization, population growth, excessive pollution in water catchments, and wastage of water has led to a scary decline in freshwater resources. Now, as whatever freshwater is available must be utilized for human consumption and utility, it is important to explore alternative water sources to fulfill the demand of water for industrial use. In this scenario, the uptake and popularity of using desalinated seawater have increased.

Today the production of desalinated water is nearly 95.37 million cubic meters per day. If we go back in time, a few years ago, desalination was popular mainly in the Middle East. But today, it is used across the world in countries like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Spain, Cyprus, Portugal, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, etc.

But Desalination is Expensive, and it is also an Energy Hog!

Operating Desalination Plants Involves:

  • High Costs
  • High Energy Consumption
  • Solar energy powered desalination plants look like a very promising alternative; however, the development of this technology is still at a nascent stage.

    The most commonly used membrane technology to treat saline water is RO membrane technology. Now, the RO membranes used to filter the salts from water are extremely costly. If they get semi-clogged/clogged, they start guzzling energy. One alternative is – to extract water from deeper into the sea, where contaminants are less – sure. But, the cost of water extraction from the deeper sea is highly expensive.

    So, while we wait for some better alternatives that make desalination cheaper and greener, it is important to make sure that the existing processes are optimized to reduce costs, become energy efficient and produce less waste.

    RO Membrane Fouling: A Top Challenge for Desalination

    RO membrane fouling is one of the top challenges for desalination. When the RO membranes cake or clog, they can no longer be used for filtration. As a result, the entire RO module has to be discarded and replaced with a new module. These modules go directly to the landfills, and the disposal adversely affects the environment. Frequent changeouts mean frequent downtimes, higher disposal costs, and a higher need for resources. Hence, it becomes crucial to reduce the number of changeouts, leave a smaller footprint, and improve the ROI.

    So How can the problem be solved?

    Why RO Modules Need Frequent Change-Outs?

    Seawater near to the shore remains highly concentrated with contaminants like salts, oil traces from spills and leakages, bio-waste, and solid waste. Now all this waste settles on the membrane and clogs the surface. Often bio-waste like algae and larvae mature, breed, and spread on the membranes. The expensive membranes then clog faster than intended. As a result, they not only use more energy for filtration but their lifespan also drastically decreases. Mining water from deeper into the ocean is a possibility, but the process is costly and hence does not serve the purpose. An effective way to protect the RO modules and prevent membrane clogging is by introducing another layer of prefiltration by looking in a cartridge filter as the last line of defense.

    In a nutshell

    It is extremely costly to extract seawater from deeper into the sea.

    The impact on environment and costs by looping in cartridge filters is remarkably less than replacing an entire RO module.

    Prefiltration for Desalination: Extend Service Life and Reduce CAPEX/OPEX of Desalination Plants

    After all the filtration layers are exhausted, a Cartridge Filter is looped right before the seawater is transported to the RO modules. The string wound cartridge filter removes all the remnants of solid waste, bio waste, and debris and filters several other contaminants from the seawater. Commonly desalination plants use a sand filter as the last layer.

    However, the sand filter removes particles only up to 10-25 microns. If we loop in a Cartridge filter as the last line of defense, it can remove contaminants up to 5 microns. After microfiltration, the water that goes into the desalination plant contains only salts. By adding a String Wound Cartridge Filter right before the RO membrane filtration, reduces the stress of filtration on the membranes.

    The RO membranes have to filter less and hence remain in better health for a long time. The need for maintenance also decreases, and hence maintenance cost comes down. As the changeouts are less, there is less waste dumped in the landfills. The desalination plants leave a smaller and greener footprint. If there are frequent changeouts, then there will also be frequent downtimes and more consumption of work-force and manual labor.

    If the RO membranes last longer and filter better, then all these costs can be saved in addition to the cost of an RO module replacement itself.

    Gopani’s Clarywound 3X – String Wound Cartridge Filter with Three Times Higher Dirt Holding Capacity.

    We have seen a lot of research, innovation, and development in RO membranes. However, there is no significant innovation in the pre-filtration technology. Gopani is doing its share by leading innovation in prefiltration products and solutions.

    The Clarywound 3X enables highly efficient prefiltration. It protects the RO modules from fouling and increases the service life of desalination plants. The premium-grade variant from Gopani is genuinely priced, has a compact design and a greener footprint.

    It reduces the stress on your desalination plants, increases the service life of your expensive desalination plant and related equipment, reduces the burden of frequent maintenance and cuts down maintenance costs, and increases the efficiency of your desalination plant via efficient pre-filtration.

    5 Filters You Need to Replace Your Resin Bonded Cartridge Filters

    Thursday, April 28th, 2022

    Many companies have stopped using resin bonded cartridge filters and have chosen cartridge filters from Gopani – known for their high filtration efficiency and relatively fair price. Gopani’s filter cartridges have a lower environmental impact, hence disposal issues are less, require lower maintenance, less frequent change-outs and all this lowers the cost of ownership.

    Resin-bonded cartridge filters are known for their structural integrity and ability to filter viscous fluids.

    They are typically used for the following applications:

  • Paints
  • Printing Inks
  • Adhesives
  • Resins
  • Polymers
  • Emulsions
  • Chemical coatings
  • Organic solvents
  • Petroleum products
  • Process water
  • Oilfield fluids
  • Animal oils
  • Waxes
  • Plasticisers
  • Many companies were until now using resin-bonded filters from brands like Parker, Cuno, and many more. However, environmentally conscious companies have stopped using resin-bonded filters.

    Why are Companies looking for Resin Bonded Alternatives?

    The fibers forming the resin bonded cartridge filter are bound by Phenolic resins such as Phenol and formaldehyde. A slurry of short fibers is bonded with resin, and there are high chances that the short fibers migrate out of the filter during service. Fibers in resin bonded cartridges are hard and when they release, and they may get embedded on gland packing and leave an impact on the filter sealing. Not only do these chemical compounds have serious implications on the environment, and create a lot of disposal issues for the user, they might pose serious hazards due to media migration.

    Hazardous effects of Phenolic Resin

  • Eyes: The product can irritate and cause redness or burning sensation to the eyes.
  • Skin: If the product comes in contact with skin, it may lead to skin irritation and conditions like dermatitis.
  • Respiratory System: inhaling fumes from a heating product can cause irritation in the nose and mouth.
  • Ingestion: The product has low oral toxicity, however unlikely, ingestion must be avoided.

    How can your Heat Transfer Fluid benefit from Gopani’s HTF Filtration System?

    Saturday, May 7th, 2022

    All Thermic fluids (HTF) are organic compounds consisting of Biphenyl Compounds with added Anti-Oxidants. Ignoring the health of your heat transfer fluids often leads to quality deterioration, and will have an impeding effect on the entire process. Knowing what causes the quality of these fluids to deteriorate is your first step to resist these attacks and optimize the efficiency of these fluids. Following are various causes of quality deterioration and its effect on the quality of HTF and hence on the entire process, in the table below.

    1. Ingress of air and oxidation
  • Increase in viscosity.
  • Polymerization.
  • Drop in thermal conductivity.
  • Carbon formation
  • Requires higher power to maintain flow rate.
  • Increase in Fuel cost
  • 2. Lower velocity than minimum recommended velocity
  • Localized heating
  • Polymerization
  • Increase in Viscosity
  • Carbon formation
  • 3. Pick of iron particles from pipe lines and vessels contact surfaces.( Particularly when charging HTF for the new System
  • Scaling on heating surfaces
  • Drop in thermal conductivity.
  • Damages costly Mechanical Seals of Pumps
  • Frequent shut downs for changing the mechanical seals.
  • Mechanical seal leaks and loss of HTF on continuous basis.
  • 4. Increase in TAN No
  • Higher acidity of HTF
  • Corrosion of pipe lines
  • Build-up of iron particles
  • Frequent shut downs for changing the mechanical seals.
  • Mechanical seal leaks and loss of HTF on continuous basis.
  • Frequent need to change the pipe lines causing longer shutdown
  • These causes and the resulting deterioration of quality is often overlooked at the onset and only comes to notice when irreversible damage is done. This happens mainly because the Heat Transfer Fluid is perceived merely as a utility item and the operating crew focuses only on the production process, a primary objective in any industry.

    Heat transfer fluid is a highly expensive raw material. It is important to focus on quality degradation prevention, therefore ensure a longer life and improved processes. One of the most important factor in maintaining its quality is to ensure that it is free from any type of contamination. In this scenario, a smart filtration system will do the job.

    A Smart Remedial Action:

    Filtering heat transfer fluids will do two things for you,

  • Increase the service life of the HTF and
  • Reduce the frequency and cost of maintenance
  • Heat transfer fluids are contaminated by polymers, iron and carbon particles. These contaminants can be removed using side stream filtration in SITU. The side Stream flow rate can be 2%-3% of total flow.

    Gopani Products Systems has developed a full system with filter, valves, pump and PI. The system is Skid Mounted. The Inlet and outlet piping to system is buyer’s scope. The GA arrangement for this system is as below:

    How can your Heat Transfer Fluid benefit from Gopani's HTF Filtration System?

    This filtration system is offered at short delivery period, and can be easily hooked into your existing heat transfer fluid circulation loop. The module can be hooked up to the main loop of your HTF system.

    General Loop of HTF System:

    HTF Filtration System

    As we saw earlier, the factors leading to risk and reduction in efficiency of the heat transfer fluids are mainly:

    a) build-up of suspended solids, and

    b) polymerized products.

    The suspended solids can be due to pipe /vessel erosion, corrosion and/or carbon particles.

    It is very important to continually filter the Heat transfer fluids and keep them healthy using the online filtration process. It is a smart way of filtering small flow of 5 m3/Hr from main loop and filter it back in the main system. Gopani products Systems has supplied such systems to several clients across the globe and has a proven track record of delivering excellent quality systems that have solved the contamination and particle build up issues in HTF processes.

    String-wound Filters for Water Filtration

    Thursday, January 16th, 2025

    String-wound Filters for Water Filtration

    String-wound filters are commonly employed in water filtration systems due to their reliable performance in removing suspended solids, particulate matter, and other contaminants from water. These filters are widely used in both municipal water treatment plants and industrial applications, where the quality of water is crucial for operational processes or consumer safety.

    Construction and Design of String-wound Filters

    A string-wound filter consists of a fibrous material wound around a central core, forming a depth filtration structure. The construction of the filter is designed to create a multi-layer filtration matrix.

    As water flows through the filter:

  • Larger particles are trapped in the outer layers.
  • Smaller particles are progressively captured in the deeper layers of the wound material
  • Materials Used:

  • String material: Commonly polypropylene, polyester, or cotton, selected based on chemical compatibility, temperature tolerance, and mechanical strength.
  • Core material: Stainless steel or plastic, depending on the application and environmental conditions.
  • The wound design of the filter allows it to handle a high volume of liquid while effectively removing particulate matter across a range of sizes. The depth of the filter is an essential feature because it increases the surface area available for contaminant retention, thus increasing the dirt-holding capacity of the filter and extending its service life.



    Filtration Efficiency and Performance

    String-wound filters are particularly effective in applications where the water is contaminated with a significant amount of suspended solids or particulates. The depth filtration mechanism enables these filters to capture a broad spectrum of contaminant sizes. As the water passes through the filter, the particles are progressively trapped in the fibrous layers of the wound material, making it possible to achieve high removal efficiencies even for fine particulate matter.

    The filtration performance is influenced by several factors, including the winding density, the material of the string, and the dimensions of the filter. Filters with tighter winding densities are more effective in capturing smaller particles, while looser wound filters tend to have higher flow rates but are less effective in capturing fine particulates. The versatility of string-wound filters allows them to be used across various stages of filtration, from pre-filtration to final polishing, depending on the specific requirements of the water treatment process.

    Applications in Water Treatment Systems

    String-wound filters are used extensively in both municipal and industrial water filtration systems. They are particularly valuable in pre-filtration stages, where they help to remove large particles and debris before finer filtration processes, such as reverse osmosis, are employed. In reverse osmosis systems, string-wound filters serve to protect the more delicate membranes by removing large suspended solids that could cause fouling or damage.

    In industrial applications, string-wound filters are employed in water systems for cooling, washing, or other processes that require clean water. Their ability to handle high flow rates and their relatively low cost make them a popular choice for large-scale filtration operations. Additionally, string-wound filters are used in systems that process well water or surface water, where the particulate content tends to be higher.

    While they are not designed to remove dissolved contaminants, string-wound filters provide a highly efficient means of reducing suspended solids and particulate matter, ensuring that the water used in industrial and municipal applications meets quality standards.

    Role in Different Water Treatment Plants

    String-wound filters play an essential role in various types of water treatment plants, where their function is crucial to ensuring the cleanliness and safety of water before it enters distribution systems or industrial processes. Here are some of the key water treatment plants where string-wound filters are frequently used:

  • CETP (Common Effluent Treatment Plant): A CETP is a shared facility used by clusters of small and medium industries to collectively treat wastewater before discharge into water bodies. String-wound filters are widely deployed at the CETP inlet as a pre-treatment step to remove suspended solids, fibres and particulate matter from incoming mixed industrial effluent, protecting downstream biological and chemical treatment stages and ensuring compliance with discharge norms.
  • ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant): In effluent treatment plants, where wastewater from industrial processes is treated before being released into the environment or reused, string-wound filters are often used in the initial stages to remove coarse particles, oils, and other debris. They help reduce the contaminant load entering biological treatment stages, improving the overall treatment efficiency.
  • STP (Sewage Treatment Plant): String-wound filters are used in sewage treatment plants for the pre-filtration of wastewater to remove large solid materials such as grit, debris, and suspended solids. These filters assist in safeguarding sensitive equipment downstream and in preventing blockages or fouling within the system. In some cases, they are also used in the final stages of filtration to improve the clarity and quality of the treated water.
  • WTP (Water Treatment Plant): In conventional water treatment plants, string-wound filters are widely used in the pre-treatment phase. Their role is to capture large particles and sediments from raw water before it undergoes finer filtration or disinfection processes. By removing these larger contaminants, string-wound filters help prevent clogging in subsequent treatment systems, such as activated carbon filters or UV disinfection units.
  • Advantages of String-Wound Filters

    1. High Dirt-Holding Capacity: Multi-layer construction captures a wide range of particle sizes.
    2. Versatility: Adapts to various water filtration needs, from municipal systems to industrial processes.
    3. Cost-Effectiveness: Durable design ensures long service life with minimal replacement costs.
    4. Chemical Compatibility: Handles a broad spectrum of water compositions.
    5. Ease of Installation: Compatible with most standard housings and systems.

    Conclusion

    String-wound filters are a cornerstone of water filtration technology, offering an efficient and economical solution for removing suspended solids and particulate matter. Their adaptability makes them indispensable in diverse settings, from municipal water treatment plants to industrial applications, including CETP, ETP, STP, and WTP processes.

    By ensuring clean, safe water for human consumption and industrial operations, string-wound filters contribute significantly to meeting global water quality standards. Investing in high-quality string-wound filters not only enhances filtration efficiency but also supports sustainable water management practices.
