Size Matters In Global Water Treatment Role

The proliferation of water treatment and desalination facilities around the world in recent years has seen a concurrent increase in demand for commercial and industrial sized water filters. Waterco Europe Ltd, an international water treatment and filtration manufacturer and distributor, has been developing filters and technologies for more than 30 years and today its products are used for a myriad of processes the water leisure industry. “Water is a finite and vulnerable resource, and it’s vital to preserve it,” says Tony Fisher, managing director of Waterco Europe. “It means that filtration is playing an even greater role in industrial and commercial water processes, which is why Waterco continues to innovate to provide suitable solutions.” Waterco is one of only a few companies worldwide which manufactures large, high pressure-rated filters; a key point of difference is that Waterco uses the latest in fibreglass winding technology, which it uses in the Micron range of fibreglass filters. “Using non metallic components, fibreglass pressure tanks are rapidly replacing steel tanks in numerous water treatment applications,” says Fisher. “Fibreglass vessels offer several advantages compared with steel filters. “Waterco’s Micron fibreglass filters are manufactured from the highest grade of non-corrosive materials, and they are designed and built for many years of trouble-free operation. “In addition, significant research and development combined with Waterco’s proprietary technology and advanced manufacturing capabilities have enabled us to incorporate sight glasses and large man-holes into the high pressure filters,” Fisher says. “Because Waterco offers such a wide variety of options, we are able to customise vessels to fit individual demands. In addition, Waterco’s quality control procedures ensure that the structural requisites of the product are achieved at every stage of production,” he adds.
