Intake Water Filtration

Intake filters are designed to do the heavy lifting of large or fine solids removal from an incoming water stream so that other polishing post filtration technologies can operate more efficiently and at less cost.  Intake water can come from the city, municipality, river, lake or well.

Seawater Intake Protection

Protecting critical equipment from sea water solids and biology is critical to the performance of today’s offshore platforms, desalination systems and power plants.  Many of the applications that utilize sea water in their make up process incorporate PEP Filters as their membrane pre-treatment filter of choice.  PEP Filters has a rich history of providing membrane protection.  We encourage you to reach out to PEP Filters to learn more about our capabilities.

Cartridge Replacement

Cartridge filters are the razor blade business to the water industry.  The capital cost for a cartridge filter system is relatively inexpensive from a capital cost point of view compared to other filtration options.  That low-cost filtration system, however, does not look as good as it did when it was new several years down the road. 

The operational costs of cartridge replacement, system downtime, the labor to change out the replacement cartridges and disposal costs will far exceed the cost of the initial investment and perceived savings one thinks they are receiving.

But wait just a minute.  What if a properly designed automatic self-cleaning PEP Filtration system could provide the same or better performance as a disposable cartridge filtration system and save you money in a short period of time?   A PEP Filter will automatically backflush and clean itself without the need to replace cartridges.  Matter of fact, many customers install a PEP Filter ahead of their cartridge filters so that the PEP Filter actually removes most of the dirt load prior to the filter thus greatly extending the life of the disposal filter.

Process Water Filtration

Process water is used in the manufacturing process for multiple industries and segments to produce the desired products and services.  Process water usually requires a finer degree of filtration and solids removal than the Intake Water entering a plant.   PEP Filters manufacturers a complete line of automatic

self-cleaning mechanical filters to meet the most stringent process water requirements.

Injection Water Polishing

Surface water provides an attractive option to enhance oil recovery. Water must be treated to remove undesirable components such as solids and/or biological material before injection. Treatment of surface water for injection requires a specially designed system. Secondary solids removal or polishing refers to suspended solids concentrations of less than 100 mg/L and solids particle sizes less than 50μ. PEP Filters offer a comprehensive portfolio of pre-engineered self-cleaning filter system based on media, screen and disc technology. The media filter performance is enhanced by the Pep Active media an inorganic media with a negative zeta potential which provides accurate and efficient filtration down to 2μ.
