High Rise Building
Automatic filtration for high-rise building water systems that need reliable protection for HVAC loops, plumbing equipment, and pumps.
When dealing with High Rise Building, there are many water quality issues that must be addressed through filtration.
- High-rise buildings can experience fouling from municipal debris, corrosion products, scale, and recycled-water solids.
- Particulates can clog strainers, foul heat exchangers, and increase service calls.
- Mechanical rooms often need compact, low-maintenance filtration solutions.
Conditions, Contaminants, and Considerations
Water sources may vary, but the primary water sources for High Rise Building filtration are:
- Municipal water
- Reclaimed water
- Cooling water
- Makeup water
In this application, water is usually filtered within the 100-500 micron range to remove contaminants like:
- Scale
- Corrosion products
- Sediment
- Construction debris
Due to these constraints, certain design considerations must be made to accommodate variables that can interfere with the filtration process. Factors such as Mechanical room space, System pressure, Flow rate, Water source, Micron rating, and Flush routing must be accounted for to ensure reliable and efficient water filtration.
Benefits
Filtering the water before industrial or commercial use:
- Protects HVAC and plumbing equipment from suspended solids.
- Reduces maintenance associated with manual strainers.
- Supports continuous filtration for building water systems.
Relevant FAQs
Does the filter waste a lot of water while cleaning itself?
No, because of how quickly the filter cleans itself. Typical backwash water volume is as little as 10 gallons.
