Control of Filters for Residential Water Systems
IFTS, with its extensive knowledge in Filter Testing and Chemical Water Analysis, has the ability to test cartridge filters, reverse osmosis modules, and treating devices found on water circuits in homes and residential buildings. Testing detects and reduces the following polluting compounds: - Unwanted Elements (hardness, chlorine, nitrate)
- Metallic Mircopollutants (copper, lead, nickel)
- Organic Micropollutants (hydrocarbons, pesticides)
Samples are taken regularly for several weeks or months. For further information or for a quotation, please contact IFTS Sales Manager Marion Dalex at marion.dalex@ifts-sls.com. |

Cake Discharge from Filter Cloths
IFTS wished to develop an experimental method to define and quantify the cake adhesion to the filtration cloth and to study the parameters influencing it. A bad cake discharge can lead to a decline in productivity and yield losses.
In order to measure this, a prototype was designed and built, and has already measured the strength between a cake and filter cloth. The system measures the breakout forces and fracture energies of cakes. The first results showed good repeatability with shear stress. The development and new methods used to quantify cake adhesion to filter media will be one of the topics discussed at the IFTS Conference, which will be held in Lyon, France on October 16th. |
