- Abstract
Water is a vital resource for the chemical, paper, steel and petroleum refining industries. Usually, industries use an enormous amount of water to flush the impurities and to cool down the products. As the industries are in need of water for multiple purposes, they tend to reuse water by a mechanism called Filtering. In the existing conventional filters, the filter elements are cleaned manually when it gets clogged, leading to more manpower and longtime. In Automatic back-wash filtering system, when filter elements get clogged, a pressure difference is created between inlet and outlet valve. This is sensed by a differential pressure sensor connected to the Programmable Logic Controller which initiates the backwash cycle that automatically cleans the filter elements. An alarm and Human Machine Interface display are also provided for the purpose of continuous monitoring and troubleshooting. The proposed Automatic back-wash filtering system is more efficient and overcomes the constraints of conventional filters.
