Tubular Backwash System Parts

Single tube units are often used for batch processes. However, by periodically backwashing a filter element with a clean liquid, a Tubular Backwash element can be regenerated in place. Tubular Backwash units can also be used in continuous flow applications by using multiple tubes that are arranged in manifold to form a system. When a predetermined differential pressure or amount of time is reached, each tube is isolated by valves and backwashed individually thus allowing for reuse even when a continuous filtered liquid flow is required.

SAMCO Tubular Backwash Systems (TBS) are used in a host of applications for the removal of particulates from liquid streams. Various filtration materials from slotted wedge-wire, wire mesh, cloth and cast membranes are used depending on the specifics of a given application. Individual tubes are available in a range of sizes and materials of construction.
