Mechanically cleaned and tubular backwashing filter systems can be multiplexed, or installed in parallel, to seamlessly adapt to demanding industrial environments. This configuration provides several operational advantages:
High flow rates alone do not automatically mandate a multiplexed configuration. Coarser macro-filtration requirements are often handled efficiently using single-body automatic flushing strainers or backwashing strainers. However, a multiplexed mechanically cleaned or tubular backwashing system becomes essential under the following criteria:
Multiplexed filtration systems represent a significant capital investment, typically beginning at $68,000 and ranging into seven-figure custom projects depending on the total number of filter stations, material choices, and complexity of automation required.
