Self-Cleaning 'Bernoulli' Type Filters Used in Onshore and Offshore Applications

摘要

Georg Schuenemann GmbH (SAB-BREMEN) has developed a new Filter Type F-480, dubbed the 'Compact Giant' for applications in onshore water intake and cooling water systems, sea water desalination plants, and in offshore projects, such as FPSO's, Drillships, and Production Platforms.This paper will describe the essential design features of the filters, based on the "Bernoulli principle" which result in a fully automated self-cleaning filter system, and choice of materials in a sea water service with high corrosion rates.
