New filter mesh construction for high throughput and optimal backwashing

Leading manufacturers of filtration equipment for the mechanical processing of surface water, wastewater and seawater have been searching for filter media that offer a genuine alternative to conventional sand filter systems. Their expectations are correspondingly high: the development of ultrafine filter media for hydrostatic filtration which, at a high throughput rate, separates 99% of all particles > than 6 µm.  GKD, as proven provider of application-specifically optimised filter media, has come up with a solution that fits the bill perfectly: a 6 µm flow-optimised Plain Dutch Weave mesh called ODW 6, which, without any changes to the size of the mesh openings, achieves a 25 percent higher flow rate. This innovative woven stainless steel wire mesh construction offers an optimal combination of long-term accuracy of filtration rate in the microfiltration range with high permeability, long service life and excellent backwash capability.
