Choosing and sizing a water filtration system for equipment is not a one-size-fits-all process. While it may seem attractive initially to undersize or choose a low-cost solution, this can result in significant long-term consequences, such as:
Frequent filter replacements and maintenance, which increase operational costs
Fouling and organic material buildup in the water treatment system
The need for extensive remediation due to the permanent damage that can arise from an incorrectly sized system, a process that could take years
Understanding your equipment's specific water quality, flow rate, and installation area is essential for properly sizing a filtration system. This enables peak efficiency and accommodates the equipment's needs.
Boland’s Water Technologies team has the tools and expertise to identify the correct filter type and size for optimal performance. The steps to correctly size a water filtration system include:
Sampling the water and conducting a laboratory particle size analysis to determine particle types, quantities, and sizes.
Analyzing the micron rating, a key performance indicator of the water filter that determines particle size.
Properly sizing the water filtration system after assessing the particle size, customizing it for the specific contaminants and requirements of the space, ensuring it meets the equipment’s specifications.
When the system is sized accurately, filter changeouts are minimized, and the equipment's lifespan is extended.
