Introduction to Process Filtration Technology

The keystone product of Schroeder Process Filtration is the RF3 automatic self-cleaning backflush filter. This filter along with bag
filters, cartridge filters and custom designed systems allows Schroeder to offer you complete solutions to your process filtration needs.
Our process filters are used to remove solid contamination from fluids and protect the integrity of high grade components that depend
on low viscosity water or water-based fluids and emulsions. Schroeder offers high performance filters for all municipal and industrial
sectors. Improvements in operational efficiency, reduced downtime, lower maintenance costs and reduced environmental impact can
all be expected.
Schroeder's backflush filters come in many sizes to fit a wide range of applications. From pressures of 150 psi to 5,000 psi and flows
from 20 gpm to 33,000 gpm, there is a backflush solution for many processes. Backflush filters are either automatic or manually
operated. Many are made from stainless steel, but they are also available in carbon steel, with protective coating or from brass.
Backflush filters are generally used more for coarse filtration.
Fine filtration can be achieved in many ways. Schroeder offers bag filters and cartridge filters to filter fluids as low as 0.2 micron. Bag,
cartridge and rolling media filters offer an economical filtration solution. The elements are disposable and easily changed.
The most important aspects of filter selection include performance, efficiency, system parameters and of course, economic impact.
Choosing the proper filter for your specific need is not difficult, but certainly requires some attention and understanding of specific
parameters. This catalog was designed to help you find the right filter to meet your needs.

Filter Selection

Filter Housing Selection

When considering a Schroeder Process Filter for your application, you can select from
three basic designs:
1. B
 ackflush Filters (automatic and manual) – Backflushing filters cover a wide range of flows and filtration ratings. Some are
automatic using electronics and pneumatics controlled by a PLC-based panel. Others require an operator to manually back-flush
the filter. The elements in each of the backflush filters are reusable.
2. B
 ag Filter Systems – These filter housings come standard sizes 1, 2, 3 and 4. Size 2
multi-bag housings are available for higher flow applications. The filter bags are disposable and available in many types of felt and
mesh. They are suitable for coarse and fine filtration.
3. C
 artridge Filter Systems – Cartridge elements utilize depth filtration to increase dirt holding capacity while offering efficient filtration.
The elements are well suited for fine filtration. Housings for these elements are available in polypropylene for single cartridges and
stainless steel for multiple cartridges.

There are eight (8) main considerations in choosing the proper filter housing:
1. F
 luid Compatibility – How will the materials of construction and seals for both the housing and element withstand the process
medium?
Materials of Construction
a. Housing Construction – Carbon steel, stainless steel, polypropylene, brass and more.
b. S

Element Selection Guide

Filter Elements
The fundamentals of filter element selection will focus upon the type of fluid you are filtering and what filtration level you require.
In some cases, basic filtration is required when coarse materials in the fluid are to be removed. In other instances, extremely fine
filtration may be needed for the specific process or equipment within the system.
There are two classes of filter elements:
1. Reusable
2. Disposable
Once again, we set the standard for environmental stewardship with reusable filter elements. When choosing the proper filter
element, you now have a choice not only based on filtration requirements, but on the materials of construction and the possibility of
environmental impact. As you begin the selection process for filters and filter elements, you will be able to add to your criteria whether
a disposable or reusable element suits your application best. Consideration should be given to all of the environmental consequences,
and we urge you to contact our application engineers during the selection process.
Reusable Elements
Designed to allow the user to replenish the media through cleaning, these elements utilize metallic media for long-term usage.
Reusable elements are easily cleaned. In some cases, “intelligence” is built into the filter housing and through an internal process, the
filter performs the cleaning process itself. This feature is the benchmark of the RF3 backflushing products.
Disposable Elements
Our disposable bag and cartridge elements are manufactured from polypropylene, polyester, nylon and other low cost durable
materials. They are engineered to offer high dirt holding capacity and high efficiency at an economical price. These elements are
reliable and are used for fine filtration.
The graphical representation on the previous page demonstrates five differing element types and their corresponding micronic range.
This is critical to selecting the level of cleaning required in your system. It is important to select the medium that is appropriate to
your application. There are dangers in both undersizing and oversizing of the element. Selecting a pore size too large can have
adverse effects on your process or the equipment you are trying to protect. Selecting a pore size smaller than your requirements will
add unnecessary protection and introduce pressure drop and heat that may affect your process. If you are unsure of your specific
requirements, please contact our application engineers for assistance. The filter model number selection chart on each product spread
will provide an easy method to fully define the product you need for your specific application.

The RF3 Automatic Backflushing Filters are complete filtration systems. These unique products are not only performing the task of filtering low
viscosity liquids, but also the cleaning of their array of reusable conical filter elements via PLC controlled mechanism.
Since particles in process fluids have an influence on the quality of the end product and they increase the attrition rate of system components,
proper protection through efficient filtration is needed. The RF3 self-cleaning filters provide this protection with uninterrupted operation.
The RF3 automatic self-cleaning filters are used for extracting particulate contaminants. The rugged
design and automatic self-cleaning capability give this filter product the ability to make a major
contribution to operational reliability, reduction of maintenance costs and overall efficiency in many
process systems.
The RF3 filters have a special housing design that incorporates an array of filter elements. The special
Slotted Tube and SuperMesh™ elements with pore sizes from 25 to 3000 micron ensure highly effective
removal of particulate contamination from the process medium. The adjustable differential pressure
switch triggers the self-cleaning function. Each individual filter element is cleaned with filtrate in the
reverse flow direction while being totally isolated from the rest of the element array. This is how the RF3
can continue to filter without any interruption of the filtration process during the backflush cycle.
The RF3 filters are a relatively simple mechanical design as illustrated here. Pre-filtered liquid enters
the inlet port and exits through the outlet port after passing through the conical element array. The flow
direction of the elements is from inside out, and particles are collected on the smooth interior surfaces for
easy cleaning. As the level of contamination increases, so does the differential pressure across the filter.

When does the self-cleaning function occur?


As the amount of contamination collected in the elements increases, so does the differential pressure.
When the differen­tial pressure reaches the set point, a signal is sent to the PLC inside the control
panel, which initiates the backflush cycle. The cleaning cycle can also be started by the adjustable
timer located inside the control panel, or by simply pressing the cycle start button located on the front
of the control panel.
Direction of Flow
How does the self-cleaning system operate?
Filtration Mode
The process starts with the geared motor located on top of the filter positioning the
backflush arm beneath the first element to be cleaned. Once in position, the control
panel opens the backflush valve, which creates a pressure gradient that reverses the
flow of filtrate through this single element. The reverse flow cleans the element of the
collected particles. The valve then closes and the motor positions the arm beneath the
next element to be cleaned. The backflush cycle is complete when all of the elements in
the array have been cleaned.

What about the filter elements?


The conical shaped filter elements used in the RF3 self-cleaning filters are specially
designed for isokinetic filtering and backflushing. This tapered design results in an even
flow distribution, low pressure drop and a uniform distribution of contaminate inside the
elements. The advantages: longer time between backflush cycles, less loss of process Backflush Mode
fluid and more complete and efficient cleaning of the conical wedge wire elements.

Are there any other unique features?


The PLC control has some benefits that aren’t immediately visible. During the self-
cleaning operation, the backflush valve is in position under the element being cleaned
for just a few seconds. The backflush valve is opened and closed rapidly, causing a
“pulsation” of filtrate through the filter element openings. These pressure surges produce
a superior cleaning effect in a shorter time. The result is fewer cleaning cycles, shorter
duration and lower consumption of filtrate.

Backflushing Filter AutoFilt® RF5 v.122623

RF5 87-150 psi - 6-10 bar 748-18,480 gpm - 170-4200 L/min

The automatic backflushing filter AutoFilt® RF5 has proven its reliable performance successfully for many years in a wide range of
different industries. The new backflushing filter series AutoFilt® RF5 a new budget-priced filter series with a cost-optimized geometry
that offers the same reliable filter performance in a variety of applications.

The function of the AutoFilt® RF5 is similar to the AutoFilt® RF3:

The fluid to be filtered flows through the slotted tube filter elements of the backflushing filter,
passing from the inside to the outside. Contamination particles then collect on the smooth
inside of the filter elements.

As the level of contamination increases, the differential pressure between the contaminated
and clean sides of the filter increases. When the differential pressure reaches its pre-set
value, backflushing starts automatically.

Backflushing Filter AutoFilt® RF10 v.122623

RF10
Traditional Automatic Backwash Filters are designed for high pressure applications with medium to
lower loads.

What if pressure is low and contamination is high?


The new RF10 takes the best features of the RF3 and marries them with JetFlush technology. The
operating principle subdivides the backflushing into two phases.

Phase One:
Stripping away the contaminant particles

Phase Two:
Discharging the contaminant particles

The new generation is dependent on influent pressure only and does not require the additional back
pressure of the effluent to influent differential. With a JetFlush reservoir and internally guided JetFlush
valves that can seal the upper lip creating an increased "suction" backflush, the RF10 can handle
almost all difficult filtration applications.

Product Advantages:

■ Back-flushing independent of pressure on clean side of filter


■ Dependent only on the inlet pressure
■ Highly efficient back-flushing with low pressure conditions and long back-flush lines
■ With its highly efficient back-flushing, the filter is suitable for high dirt loads and surges in contamination
■ Optional davit
■ Variable filter isometry
Filtration

Here is how the JetFlush Technology improves traditional ABF Technology:

Filtration
The medium being filtered enters the filter housing via the filter inlet (A) and
flows through the filter elements of the back-flushing filter from the inside to
C
the outside (B) and leaves the filter via the filter outlet (C). During the filtration
process, the JetFlush reservoir (D) located above the filter elements fills with and
B B
stores medium from the contaminated side. As fluid is filtered, particles collect B B
on the inside of the filter elements. As the level of contamination increases,
the differential pressure between the contaminated and clean side of the filter
increases. When the differential pressure reaches the pre-set trigger point,
back-flushing starts automatically.

Back-Flushing In General
Automatic back-flushing is triggered:
Back-flushing
■W
 hen the differential pressure trigger point is exceeded (phase 1)
■ By means of a timer E

■B
 y pressing the test button

The gear motor (E) rotates the back-flushing arm (F) to the filter element to be J1
cleaned (G). The back-flush valve (H) opens. The pressure drop between the
filter inlet (A) and the back-flush line (I), combined with the conical geometry of
the filter element, triggers the special JetFlush effect of the AutoFilt® RF10.

The remaining filter elements continue filtering to ensure uninterrupted filtration. G

Back-Flushing Phase I
Phase 1 - Strupping away the contamination
In the first phase, unfiltered fluid from the JetFlush reservoir (J1) above flows into the filter element. The conical filter element geometry
produces a core flow here, supplied mainly by the JetFlush reservoir. This core flow is supported by the open JetFlush effect, which also
draws water from the filtrate side into the inside of the filter element.

Back-Flushing Phase II
Phase 2 - Discharging the contamination
J2

K Once the core flow has developed, the JetFlush reservoir located
above the filter element is closed (J2).

When the opening at the top of the filter element closes, the second
phase is initiated, namely discharging the contamination:
B
The moving column of fluid draws water from the filtrate side (K) as
H soon as the fluid supply stops as a result of the filter element closing
at the top.

The conical filter element geometry ensures the whole surface of the filter element is now clean and residue-free. The contamination is
discharged via the back-flush line (I). After cleaning the filter element, the back-flushing arm rotates to the next filter element to be cleaned;
the process is repeated. When the back-flush cycle is finished, the back-flush valve is closed (H).

Backflushing Filter AutoFilt® RF4 v.012624

RF4

The automatic backflushing RF4 filter is a self-cleaning system for removing particles from low
viscosity fluids. Its robust construction and automatic backflushing capability make a major
contribution to operational reliability and reduce operating and maintenance costs. The slotted
tube or SuperMesh™ filter elements with filtration rates from 25 to 1000 µm ensure highly
effective separation of contaminating particles from the process medium.

Automatic cleaning starts as soon as the elements become contaminated. The flow of filtrate is
not interrupted during the backflushing procedure. Two sizes allow flow rates from 10-60 gpm.
The RF4 is available as a fully automatic or purely manual version.
Numerous combinations of materials and equipment as well as individually adjustable control
parameters allow optimum adaptation of the filter to any application.

OPERATION OF THE RF4


Filtration
The fluid to be filtered flows through the slotted tube filter elements of the backflushing filter
passing from the inside to the outside. Contamination particles collect on the smooth inside of
the filter elements. As the level of the collected contamination increases, the differential pressure
between the contaminated and clean sides of the filter increases. When the differential pressure
reaches its pre-set value, the backflushing cycle begins.

Triggering Automatic Backflushing


Backflushing is triggered automatically when the differential pressure set point is exceeded. As
soon as backflushing has been triggered, the filter starts to clean the filter elements.

Triggering Backflushing on Manual Version


When the differential pressure set point is reached, the visual clogging alarm indicates to an operator or maintenance personnel that a
backflush cycle is needed.

Backflushing of the Filter Elements – Backflushing Cycle


The cycle begins with the element plate turning 90°. This brings a clean filter element
into filtration, and a contaminated filter element is positioned over the fixed flushing
connection.

The backflush valve is opened.


The differential pressure between filtrate side and backflush line causes a small
amount of the filtrate to reverse flow through the element to be cleaned. The
contamination particles collected on the inside of the filter element are loosened and
flushed into the backflush line via the flushing arm. As soon as the “backflushing
time per element” has elapsed, the backflushing valve is closed. The backflushing
cycle is terminated when all the filter elements have been cleaned. On the RF4 with
manual backflushing, the element plate including filter elements, is turned and the
backflushing valve is opened by hand. Each filter element is cleaned successively in
this manner.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE RF4


Isokinetic Filtering and Backflushing
The special conical shape and configuration of the filter elements allows for even flow,
resulting in low pressure drop and complete cleaning of the elements. The advantage:
fewer backflushing cycles and lower loss of backflushing fluid.
Pulse-aided Backflushing
The filter element to be backflushed remains in the flushing position for only a few
seconds. Rapid opening of the pneumatic backflushing valve generates a pressure
surge in the openings of the filter elements that provides a pulse-aided cleaning effect
to the backflushing process.
Low Backflushing Quantities Due to Cyclic Control

The backflush valve opens and closes during backflushing of each filter element, further minimizing the amount of filtrate needed to effectively
clean the element.

Backflushing Filter AutoFilt® RF14 v.122623

RF14 88 psi - 6 bar 15,400 gpm - 58,295 L/min

The AutoFilt® RF14 is a self-cleaning system for extracting particles from low viscosity fluids.
Its robust construction and automatic back-flushing capability make a major contribution to
operational reliability and reduce operating and maintenance costs. The slotted or SuperMesh
baskets in the filter with filtration rates from 10 to 100μm ensure highly effective filtration of
contaminating particles from the process medium.

Automatic cleaning starts as soon as the elements become


contaminated. The flow of filtrate is not interrupted during the back-
flushing procedure. A range of filters of different sizes allow flow rates of
up to 15,400 gpm. Numerous combinations of materials and equipment
as well as individually adjustable control parameters allow optimum
adaptation of the filter to any application.

This type of fully automatic self-cleaning screen filter has been used for
decades in applications wherever suspended solids need to be removed
from a pressurized water stream. They are used to remove sand, silt
and algae from raw water taken from lakes, ponds, rivers and canals.
Such filters provide pretreatment before membrane filtration systems for
potable water supply. Other installations include pretreatment for reverse
osmosis and other desalination systems. Many municipal and industrial
wastewater treatment plants use these filters to prepare secondary
effluent for reuse in cooling, irrigation and aquifer recharge systems.
Applications in steel mills filtering grimy, oily cooling water are common
as are those in the automotive and plastics industries. Cement plants
and mining operations use this type of filter for removing solids from
tailings. They are found on deep-sea oil platforms for filtering flood water
and on ships before portable desalination systems and ballast systems.

Filtration
A back-flushing cycle is complete once the basket element has been cleaned. Filter continues to filter and forward flow
is not impeded by backwash cycle.

Special Features of the AutoFilt® Isokinetic Filtering and Back-Flushing


The special configuration of the filter basket elements allows even flow, resulting in low pressure drops and complete
cleaning of the elements. The advantage: fewer back-flushing cycles and reduced loss of back-flushing fluid.
Pulse-aided Back-Flushing on the control types EPT and PT; the filter basket to be backflushed remains in the
flushing position for only a few seconds. Rapid opening of the pneumatic back-flushing valve generates a pressure
surge in the filter nozzle openings, providing an additional cleaning effect to the back-flushing process as it cleans the
basket as it rotates around the basket area.
Low Back-Flushing Quantities due to cyclic control the back-flushing valve opens and closes during back-flushing.
The filter, which produces particularly good flow rates, is of a compact construction with high filtration performance and low pressure drops. The
RF14 will use less than 0.5% of the forward flow for backwash.

The fluid to be filtered flows through the slotted filter basket element of the back-flushing filter, passing from the inside to the outside.
Contamination particles then collect on the smooth inside of the filter basket elements. As the level of contamination increases, the differential
pressure between the contaminated and clean sides of the filter increases. When the differential pressure reaches its preset value, back-flushing
starts automatically.
Triggering Automatic Back-Flushing
Back-flushing is triggered automatically: when the triggering differential pressure is exceeded.
Back-flushing can also be started:
■ By means of an adjustable timer (optional)
■ By pressing the TEST key
■ As soon as back-flushing has been triggered, the filter starts to clean the
filter basket
Back-Flushing of the Filter Basket Elements - Back-Flushing Cycle
■ The gear motor rotates the nozzles around the interior of the basket Before Cleaning
■ The back-flushing valve is opened
■ The pressure drop between the filtrate side and the back-flushing line rinses a small partial flow of the filtrate in the opposite direction into
the filter elements to be cleaned. The contamination particles deposited on the inside of the filter basket element are detached and carried
out via the nozzles into the back-flushing line.

■ After the back-flushing time is complete, the back-flushing valve is closed.
In this way, the nozzles have cleaned all areas of the filter basket.
■ Initiating the most effective and instantaneous back-flush differential at all
areas of the basket filter.

Variable Filter Isometry


The inlet and outlet flanges as well as the back-flushing line can be configured in different positions.
This means that the filter can be easily integrated into any plant lay-out.

Backflush Treatment Unit v.122623

BTU 150 psi - 10 bar 32-1120 gpm - 120-4235 L/min

The BTU unit with integral backflushing filter is a turnkey automatic filtration unit for watermiscible cooling lubricants,
oils or washing water which continuously filters solid particles, such as very fine magnetic and non-magnetic metal
particles, corundum, sand particles etc. It provides long-term filtration producing reduced-particle filtrate. The quality
of the filtrate is dependent on the separation limit of the filter used.

BTU1 BTU3 A BTU unit generally consists of:

■B  ackflushing filter for the main filtration


■P  rocess twist sieve (PTS) to treat the backflushed volume
■ Buffer tank with components (only BTU1)
■ Control
The process twist sieve (PTS) is a component which is fitted
downstream from the backflushing filter to filter the
backflushed volume. In this way, with the help of the twist
sieve, a further filtration process is carried out via the
backflushing line.

The solid particles from the backflushing volume are collected in a bag filter which is suspended under
the twist sieve. When this is full, it is easy to dispose of by pulling open the drawer.

The fluid filtered by the twist sieve or the bag flows back to the buffer tank (BTU1). As soon as the fluid level in the
buffer tank reaches the upper switch point of the level gauge (optional), the tank pump (optional) empties the tank.

Due to the short-term pressure shock when backflushing the automatic filter and due to the tangential inlet flow, the
fluid is filtered by the wire mesh inside the twist sieve. Approx. 70 % of the backflushing volume passes through the twist sieve and is therefore
already filtered when it flows into the buffer tank below the filter via the channel on one side of the twist sieve.

The remaining 30 % of fluid which is heavily contaminated with particles is forced by the centrifugal force and gravity through an opening in
the floor of the twist sieve down into a bag filter. The fluid is filtered though the bag from the inside to the outside. Particles are retained and
the cleaned emulsion flows into the buffer tank. The pressure shock ensures that the wire mesh (TopMesh) is flushed at every backflushing
process, i.e. the twist sieve is self-cleaning and practically maintenance-free.

Automatic Twist Flow Strainer ATF v.122623

ATF
■ Perfect pre-filter
■ Great for high contamination levels
■ Low pressure drop

Automatic Twist Flow Strainer


The Schroeder Automatic Twist Flow Strainer (ATF) is designed for the filtration of solid particles
from water or fluids similar to water. With filtration ratings between 200 μm and 3,000 μm, the
ATF is particularly well suited for separating suspended solid particles, up to several grams per
liter, from low-viscosity fluids. In order to filter higher flow rates, the ATF can be supplied as a
skid solution (call factory for details).

Construction and Function

This filter is a hybrid system consisting of a centrifugal separator and an inline filter. The fluid to be
cleaned enters the housing tangentially, similar to a centrifugal separator, and accelerates down
as a result of the tapered housing. The resulting spiral flow with its centrifugal force carries the
coarsest contamination first (its density is obviously higher than that of the fluid) to the inner wall of
the housing.

Filtration

When pressed against the filter wall, the higher density particles settle at a higher rate in the lower
part of the filter, where they are finally carried out. The remaining smaller, less dense particles are
filtered as the fluid passes through the element and exits the filter.

The conical filter element ensures optimum flow characteristics. On one hand it makes possible
continual self-cleaning of the filter during operation. While on the other, it makes the pressure drop
of the whole filter much lower than compared with a centrifugal separator of a similar size.

Cleaning Procedure

Both the sediment particles and those separated by the filter element finally collect at the
bottom of the housing and are discharged periodically from the system by opening the
contamination flap. During this cleaning procedure (depending on the installation of the
ATF), part of the untreated fluid flow is used for a few seconds to flush the elements and
clean the filter. Because partial flow is used, continuous filtration occurs.

In addition, the ATF is an excellent choice for bypass flow applications which are able to
do without a partial flow for short periods of time.

Depending on the application and the amount of solid particles, the cleaning function can
be adjusted via a timer function.

Special Features of the ATF

The ATF is well suited to high levels of contamination and large fluctuations in the solid
particle content of the untreated water.

Due to the use of conical slotted tube and sintered wire meshes, a precise selectivity and
therefore a constant filtrate quality is ensured – independent of fluctuations in operating
pressure or flow rate. Filtration Mode
Backflush Mode

Due to special flow conditions resulting from the element geometry and their arrangement, the pressure drop on the overall unit is relatively
low at < 14.5 psi (1.0 bar).

The pre-filtration of solid particles of a higher density implies that the filter surface area can take a correspondingly higher load and the filter
size can therefore be comparatively smaller.

50
Automatic Twist Flow Strainer ATF
ATF
Pressure Drop Graph
The filter elements are cleaned solely by flushing with untreated fluid.

The ATF saves on space in comparison to conventional separating units, such as lamellar separators or sand filters.

Several ATF’s can be integrated into systems, and as a result, can adapt to the required flow rates.

The filter element of the ATF is maintenance-friendly, as it is equipped with a flange cover. On sizes 2 to 4, it is also possible to
replace the filter element without needing to open the filter.

Filter Calculation and Sizing


The ATF is sized based on the pressure drop curve. A further factor in the calculation is the flow
velocity through the inlet flange. It should not exceed 13.12 feet/minute (4 m/s).

In order to be able to size the ATF correctly, the following design data should be available:

■ Flow rate ■ Particulate loading in the fluid


■ Type of medium ■ Solid particle type and density / densities
■ Materials / resistance ■ Operating pressure
■ Viscosity ■ Operating temperature
■ Required filtration rating

Clogging Indicators for Process Filters v.122623

PVD 0-6092 psi - 0-420 bar

General
The PVD Clogging Indicators for Process Filters are designed to indicate visually and/
or electronically when the filter elements must be cleaned or changed. The use of clogging
indicators guarantees both the operational safety of the system and the efficient utilization of the
filter elements.

Seals
V (=Viton) or T (=FEP encapsulated)

Construction
Differential pressure indicators are used on all process filters. They react to the pressure
differential between the filter inlet and filter outlet, which rises as the level of contamination in the
element increases.

Simplest fitting of the differential pressure indicator:


G1/2" cavity
(acc. Schroeder's works standard HN 28-22)

The differential pressure indicator type V01 is piped up separately.

For duplex filter housings, the differential pressure indicators and connected using an adapter
block.

Special Indicators
Electrical ATEX indicators:
Optional: electrical indicator for process filters for use in potentially explosive atmospheres
subject to the ATEX equipment directive 94/9/EC and the ATEX operator directive 1999/92/EC.

Torque Values - Differential Pressure Indicators


Note: The clogging indicators must only be tightened or adjusted on the spanner flats.

Bag Housings and Elements

Schroeder Process Filtration offers a complete line of bag elements and housings to fit a wide variety of
applications. From single bag housings, to high flow multiple bag housings, Schroeder has an economical
filtration solution to fit nearly any application.

The disposable bag elements offered by Schroeder Process Filtration come in a wide variety of materials,
sizes and styles. Bag styles include: steel ring bags (stainless steel optional) that are sewn into top of
bag, and plastic flange bags that have flange sewn at top of bag and draw string. A multitude of options
are available - call factory for details. Polyester and polypropylene felt can be used for filtration as low as
1 micron while monofilament and multifilament bags can be used for more coarse filtration. Felt bags are
either singed or glazed to prevent fiber migration on the clean side of the filter.

Our bags are made in standard industry sizes from 1 through 12. We also have commercial size bags
available with a snap band support ring. The seams on the bags are either sewn or welded depending
upon the systems requirements. Welded bags offer:
■ No needle holes
■ No thread migration
■ Strong, even sealing of the material
Bag Housing
Schroeder Process Filtration bag housings can handle flows as low as 20 gpm and as high as several
thousand gpm. Single bag housings are rated for either 100 psi service or 150 psi. All of our multiple bag
housings and duplex bag housings are rated at 150 psi. Multiple bag housings are manufactured to hold
2 bags to 10 bags and more. Housings are made from either carbon steel or electro-polished stainless
steel. ASME section VII U-stamped housings are available upon request.

Schroeder Industries has long been known for innovation to meet customer needs. Contact the factory if
you have an application that requires special consideration and designs. Multiple housings can be skid
mounted with integrated valves, sensors and controls to meet your specific needs.
Welded Bags
Our bag systems provide efficient and economical filtration. Some advantages to bag filtration are:
■ Positive seal to assure zero fluid bypass
■ Quick and easy installation
■ Handles provide easy removal from housings
■ High dirt holding capacity
■ Sturdy construction to prevent bags from failing in operation
■ 100% incinerable

Bag Element Operating Guidelines
Recommended change-out:
It is recommended that a liquid filter bag be changed out when the differential pressure (∆P) between the upstream and
downstream sides reaches 20 - 25 psi. Although this is a rule of thumb, some applications may require change-out at a ∆P well
below 20 psi. Under no circumstances should ∆P be allowed to exceed 25 psi.

What is the product that needs to be filtered?


Obtain all the details of the liquid/solid composition. You need to confirm the chemical compatibility to ensure the proper
material is used for the bag, retainer type and the housing for the filter bags.

What is the viscosity of the product to be filtered?


Use a flow rate chart to find out the optimum operating parameters.

What is the pH level in order to choose the proper material for the filtration system?
Is the product an acid with a pH of 1-7 or is it Alkaline 7-14?

What type of solids does the product contain?


Are the solids crystalline or gelatinous? Crystalline solids can form a permeable layer on the filter media and gelatinous solids
can form an impermeable layer that will cause blinding off of the filter media.

What is the density of the solids?


What is the PPM (parts per million) of the solids?

What is the range of particle size? What size does the customer want to remove and at what efficiency?
The range of particulate size is important in determining which micron rating your filter media should be? Filter bags can be
made with nominally rated material or with high efficiency material.

What is the flow rate of the product?


The flow rate is critical information required when determining the size and number of bags required.

Is it a continuous or batch process?


This is important in order to determine the filter bag consumption.

What is the operating pressure of the system?


At what minimum and maximum potential pressure is the system designed to run? What is the acceptable pressure required?
Filter bag differential pressure capacity is 20-25 psi.

What is the temperature of the product being filtered?


Temperature has an impact on the viscosity, the filter media and the O-rings. The temperature can even affect the corrosion
rate of the housing.

Filter Bag Pressure Drop PB


Step 1 The graphs show the ∆PB produced by a
#2 size bag for water, 1 cps @ 77°F (25°C). The
pressure drop is determined from the type of bag,
the micron rating and flow rate.

Step 2 Correct for bag size from the table below if the
size is different than #2 size.

Bag Size Dia X Length Multiply By


2 7.06 x 32 1.00
9 5.5 x 32 1.50
1 7.06 x 16 2.25

7 5.5 x 15 3.00
4 4.15 x 14 4.50
3 4.15 x 8 9.00

Step 3 If the viscosity of the liquid is greater than 1


cps (water @ 77°F (25°C)). Multiply the result from
step 2 by the proper correction factor from the chart
below.

4000 161.0
6000 250.0
8000 325.0
10000 430.0

The value obtained in step 3, ∆PB is the clean pressure drop caused by the filter bag.

SUMMARY
System Pressure Drop = ∆PS = ∆PH + ∆PB
For new applications, the ∆PS should be 2.0 psi (0.14 bar) or less. For high contaminant loading applications, this value should be as
low as possible. The lower this value is, the more contaminant a bag will hold. For applications with nominal contaminants, this value
can go to 3.0 psi (0.21 bar) or more. Consult factory for specific recommendations when the clean ∆P exceeds 2.0 psi (0.14 bar).

Polyester Phenolic Treatment (PEPT) Liquid Filter Bag

The Polyester Phenolic Treatment (PEPT) design incorporates single or dual layers of fully infused Phenolic Resin treated Polyester
Felt for optimum performance. The PEPT’s non-compressible depth fibers are more effective than conventional filters in retaining
gel-like particles. Inline cartridges, which accumulate debris on the outside of the element and are more prone to debris falling off during
change out, PEPT’s filter bags contain the contaminants securly inside the bag, making filter change-out much cleaner.
The proven gradient density of a dual layer of the PEPT bag coupled with the increased surface area results in enhanced efficiencies
and increased filter life. This not only ensures the integrity of the filtration process, it builds an affective pre-filter cake that promotes
higher efficiencies without high pressure drop or loss of flow capacity.

Features:
■ Micron Ratings from 1 to 100
■ Broad chemical compatibility
■ Handles on all bags
■ Choice of Steel Ring or Plastic Flange
■ Excellent removal of gel-like particles
■ Disc bottom for ease of installation and fit in basket

Oil Absorbing Bag Elements

Materials of Construction

Schroeder’s Oil Absorbing Bag Filters (OAB) are a cost-effective solution for removing oil from water while simultaneously filtering
as low as 1 micron. The high capacity bag filter is designed with different layers of micro-fibers that not only retain oil, but increase
overall efficiency to 95% or greater on microns ranging from 1 to 50. The overall construction of this filter bag has 30 plus square feet
of media and can retain 10 pounds or more of oil depending on the micron. These bags are offered in standard bag size 1 or 2.

Cartridge Housings and Elements v.122623

Schroeder has depth filtration cartridges for fine filtration and the housings to fit. Standard cartridges are
available in 10, 20, 30 and 40 inch lengths. These meltblown filters come in either a 2.5" or 4.5" diameter. Depth
filter cartridges have larger openings towards the outside of the element and smaller openings near the center.
This allows for higher dirt holding capacity to lengthen the life of the element.
Most common are the elements with a double open end (DOE). Cartridges with either a 222 o-ring seal or a
FIN style are also available. The range of filtration on these elements is from 1 micron up to 100 microns. All of
our elements are made from 100% pure polypropylene fibers to ensure high quality. Elements with center tubes
for support are also available.
The housings for these elements are available with either a 100% polypropylene head and bowl or in electro-
polished stainless steel.
The polypropylene housings accept either the 10" or 20" elements for both 2.5" and 4.5" diameter.
The threaded head and bowl allow for quick and easy changing of the elements. Various sizes of NPT ports
make installation quick and easy and allow flows up to 40 gpm depending upon the housing size. Because the
housings are 100% polypropylene, they are tough and durable. The 2.5" housings are rated up to 125 psi (8.6
bar) at 140°F (60°C) while the 4.5" housings are rated for 100 psi (7.0 bar) at 140°F (60°C).
Stainless steel housings are used for higher flow rates and pressure up to 150 psi (10.0 bar) at 167°F (75°C).
These larger housings hold seven elements in a circular array in all four standard lengths. The quick release
clamp on the lid allows for easy changing of the elements while providing a tight seal. Each one comes
standard with a gauge port in the lid. DOE and 222 style cartridges are accepted by these housings.
Both types of housing are durable, built to last in harsh conditions and have low clean pressure drops.

Rolling Media Filtration v.122623

RMF
The Rolling Media Filter (RMF) provides a highly efficient and reliable means of
removing solids from process liquids. This filter is a non pressurized system which
is economical and easy to operate. It can handle occasional system upsets or
overloads without blinding the filter media.

The RMF is a fully automatic system that ensures efficient cleaning of any process
fluid. It optimizes the amount of media used at the same time. The solids are
discharged as a cake for easy handling and disposal.

The liquid to be filtered is pumped or gravity fed into inlet. It is then distributed to
the flood box, which slows the velocity and discharges the liquid over the entire
width of the filter media. The liquid filters through the media, and the solids are left
behind collecting on the filter media surface. The clean liquid is discharged through
the outlet into a tank or discharged into an open system.

As the solids are collected on the filter media, the liquid level rises to a preset level.
A level sensor initiates an index cycle and fresh media is indexed displacing a
portion of the spent media. The media is then discharged to a waste container.

Pit Purification Solution


The Pit Purification Solution (PPS) is a portable unit providing staged filtration for cleaning drill water. All filters are made of coated
carbon steel or non-corrosive stainless steel. The operating system is simple. The water to be cleaned passes through a series of filters
providing progressively finer filtration. The final filtration is achieved by bag filtration, which can easily be changed to a micron rating of
the user’s choice.

The drill water first passes through a twist flow strainer (ATF), which is effective at removing coarse particles through a unique inlet
arrangement and housing design that uses a centrifugal separator and an inline filter to separate solids from the fluid. Raw water
enters tangentially to create a cyclonic flow. Centrifugal force moves the larger, heavier particles to the housing wall where they are
accelerated downward by the decreasing diameter of the housing. While the larger, heavier particles are forced against the outer wall
of the housing then down and out of the unit, the lighter, smaller particles can pass through the 200 micron slotted tube element in the
center of the housing and move on to the backflushing filter (RF3).

The water then enters a backflushing filter (RF3) that captures solid particulate that are smaller in size. Slotted, conical tube element
allows for efficient backwash. The “Wedge Wire” design of the elements provides for a wider opening on the effluent or downstream
side of the element. This precludes particles becoming lodged and blinding the element. In the PPS, the RF3 is fitted with 50 micron
slotted tube elements. A rotating arm allows a reverse jet of water through the elements to provide a back wash flow to the elements.
Because of the way these first two filters operate, they have the added bonus of not requiring the elements to be replaced, and thus
can remain functional indefinitely.

Next in line is a duplex bag filter housing, which features an extremely high dirt holding capacity. Filtered water from the RF3 passes to
the duplex bag filters. Water passes through a progressively tighter series of bag elements: 25, 15 and 10 micron. Unlike the first two
mechanical filters, the bag filters will need to be changed out periodically when they are full or there is indication of pressure drop at the
bag housings. From the bag housings, the filtered water is delivered into a storage container for use at the driller’s discretion.

The PPS can also include an optional last filter, the Schroeder Qsize Filter. This filter, which utilizes element cartridges that are 39” in
length, is available in several micron ratings, and can provide another level of fine filtration if necessary.

Mining-Specific Elements
Excellement MD®
The multiple layer construction shown below has evolved from comprehensive laboratory testing to provide extended element life and
system protection. Each successive layer performs a distinct and necessary function. The outermost layer is designed to maintain
element integrity. Beyond this layer, is a spun-bonded scrim, offering coarse filtration and protection for the more delicate filtering
layers within. Multiple sheets of fine filtering media follow, providing intricate passageways for the entrapment of dirt particles. When
combined, the layers of the Excellement©-MD filter media provide the ideal formulation for filtration performance used in severe mine
duty applications. Through the addition of new materials, the strength of our media has been improved when applied in water based
fluids. Soak testing in 95/5 fluids proves that Excellement-MD media scrim and wire mesh maintain their integrity. This new media will
provide better protection for the valves on the longwall shields and extend the pilot element’s service life in any longwall application.

Stainless steel wire fabric provides support and rigidity, eliminating the
potential for rust and abrasion.

Glossary

Materials of Construction for Housings, Elements and Seals


Carbon steel without coating – General purpose for non-corrosive and non-oxidizing liquids.
Carbon steel with protective internal coating – This internal coating protects against UV, abrasion and corrosion, and should be specified for water
applications, such as river water, service water, cooling water, clear run water from sewage treatment facilities, etc.
304 Series stainless steel – Widely available, good general corrosion resistance, good cryogenic toughness. Excellent formability and weldability.
316 Series (L and Ti) stainless steel – Widely available, good general corrosion resistance, good cryogenic toughness. Excellent formability and
weldability.
Polyamide (filter element end caps) – General-purpose polymer (amide) for use in applications such as hydraulics and pneumatics. Resistant to
oils, hydraulic fluids, water fuels, gases, petroleum oils, cold water, silicone greases and oils Di-ester base lubricants (MIL-L-7808) ethylene glycol
base fluids (Hydrolubes) not suited for use in brake fluids. Good abrasion resistance. Good resistance to compression set. High tensile strength.
Characteristics: Stable plastic. Dull, matte finish.
PTFE / Teflon® (a registered trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers) – General-purpose thermoplastic (Polytetrafluoroethelyene) for use as a low
friction, insulating product that is inert to most chemical substances.
Buna N / NBR (nitrile) – General purpose elastomer for use as seal energizer or low-pressure applications, such as hydraulics and pneumatics.
Resistant to oils, hydraulic fluids, water fuels, gases, petroleum oils, cold water, silicone greases and oils. Di-ester base lubricants (MIL-L-7808),
ethylene glycol base fluids (Hydrolubes) not suited for use in brake fluids. Good abrasion resistance. Good resistance to compression set. High tensile
strength. Characteristics: Rubber-like elastomer. Dull, matte finish. Some NBR o-rings have a very shiny surface.
Silicone – General-purpose elastomer for use as seal material. Resists water and many chemicals such as some acids, oxidizing chemicals, ammonia
and isopropyl alcohol. Note: concentrated acids, alkalines and solvents should not be used with silicone rubber. Characteristics: Soft rubber-like
elastomer. High tear and tensile strength, good elongation, excellent flexibility.
Viton® (a registered trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers) – Widely available elastomer for use
as seal energizer or low-pressure applications, such as process fluids, hydraulics and pneumatics. Highly resistant to many aggressive fluids, such as
fuels and chemicals. Characteristics: Rubber-like elastomer. ISO 9000 registration.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene) – Versatile and widely used synthetic rubber recognized for its resistance to heat, oxidation, weather, and
electricity. Compatible with water, acids, alkalies, phosphate esters and many ketones and alcohols.
Cleaning Reusable Filter Elements – The cleaning methods for the reusable elements depend upon the type of service and the filter element design.
The individual cleaning methods described here can be combined to achieve better results. It is not advisable to attempt most of these cleaning
methods without the proper equipment and training. There are competent organizations best suited for this type of work. Upon request, we will provide
a cleanliness certificate, including the results of a bubble-point test as well as the clean and fully laden element weights.
Pyrolysis – This method is based upon the removal of organic materials imbedded within the element. Organic material is vaporized at high
temperature in an oxygen-depleted atmosphere. Exact control of the temperature and oxygen content is required to avoid damage to the element of
the possibility of flame generation.
Vacuum Pyrolysis – This method is based upon the removal of plastic materials imbedded within the element using a two-step process. Organic
material is vaporized at high temperature in an oxygen-depleted atmosphere within a vacuum chamber. In this process the material to be removed is
melted into liquid and evacuated via vacuum in the first step, then further heating vaporizes the remaining material in the second step. Exact control of
the vacuum, temperature and oxygen content is required to avoid damage to the element of the possibility of flame generation.
Boil Off – This method is based upon a process similar to a commercial dishwasher. Constant flowing of a flushing liquid (typically a solvent) at high
temperature ensures removal of particles.
High Pressure Wash – This method is used mainly for the removal of coarse particles from the filter elements. It can be a manual or automatic
process depending on the equipment available. A standard high pressure using water or water-based solvents can be used taking care not to damage
the element. The wash direction must be consistent with the flow direction of the element.
Ultrasonic Cleaning – This method utilizes an ultrasonic bath, which easily loosens the particles imbedded in the filter element. Using water with a
detergent additive, a 20 to 40 Hz frequency is recommended. Solvents other than standard detergents can be used also.
