Side-stream filtration
In cooling water it is usually unnecessary to filter the full flow; filtering a portion of the circulating water continuously is enough. Which proportion to choose is determined by the basin volume and the contamination load.

In a cooling tower the water evaporates and concentrates; sediment builds up at the bottom of the basin and the circulating water gradually fouls. That contamination reduces heat transfer and leads to blockage and corrosion in the equipment.
The remedy is to sweep and filter the basin water continuously. The line we built on our active project in Çiğli works on exactly this principle.
How it works
Stages
- 01
Bottom sweep
Sediment at the bottom of the basin is collected by a manifold.
- 02
Filtration
The swept water is passed through the filtration line.
- 03
Return
The cleaned water is returned to the basin.
- 04
Automation
Operating and backwash cycles are managed from the panel.
Where it is used
Typical applications
Cooling towers
Continuous removal of sediment accumulating at the basin floor.
Heat transfer
Reduction of efficiency losses caused by fouling.
Equipment protection
Prevention of blockage in heat exchangers and pumps.
Water saving
Making a higher number of concentration cycles possible.

Can it be applied to our existing tower?
Yes. Once the basin dimensions and the existing pipework have been surveyed, the manifold is manufactured accordingly.
