JNM has developed a line of self-cleaning drip irrigation filtration systems. These units use state of the art technology and range from small systems to large industrial filtration systems; therefore, we can supply the system to best meet your needs. Something to consider during the filtration process is that there will be some headloss that is dependent on the flow rate and microns of the rings in the filter.
FILTRATION PROCESS:
Contaminated liquid flows into the filter element. Solids and algae are retained on the burst proof filter element. The liquid percolates through the compressed discs and the solids are retained in the grooves. Filtered liquid flows out for reuse.
BACKFLUSHING PROCESS:
A controller closes the Inlet, and the drain is opened. Tightening cylinder is activated to withdraw and relieve the pressure from the discs - allowing them to spin freely. Spinning is caused by the spray nozzles through which forcible tangential jets are emitted. The jets cause rapid spinning of the discs while cleaning them. The retained particles are washed out.
SURFACE FLUSH PROCESS: Contaminated liquid flows into filter element. Solid particles are retained outside the rings and in the grooves as liquid seeps through. Filtered liquid falls to outlet for reuse. Contaminates are flushed upwards and removed through trash tank outlet.
