Aqualine Liquid Filtration System from Pentair Industrial Features Robust, Cost-Effective Fiberglass Housing

    SHEBOYGAN, WI, March 30, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pentair Industrial Aqualine Liquid Filtration System reduces equipment and labor expenses, as well as floor space. Aqualine provides an ideal solution for high-flow-rate applications, including chemical, cosmetics, electronics, food and beverage, and more. Featuring superior construction paired with a space-saving rack design and a cost-effective price, Aqualine delivers long-lasting performance in a compact and convenient package.

Aqualine's robust, 8-inch diameter fiberglass housing is highly durable and costs up to 50% less than stainless steel alternatives--typically resulting in a significant costs savings of several thousand dollars. Aqualine also offers a vertical rack design that allows stacking of housings, saving valuable plant floor space and increasing total flow. The housing is offered in a 60-inch length, with a pleated cartridge design and an outside-in flow pattern that delivers optimal flow rates with the lowest possible pressure drop.

Cartridges for the Aqualine Liquid Filtration System are available in a 6.75-inch diameter. The cartridges are manufactured with absolute-rated polypropylene media--defined as Bx greater than 5,000--and contain a PVC core and a proprietary o-ring seal. At their stated micron size, cartridges attain 99.98% (Beta 5000) efficiencies, and they are rated ASME Section X Class 1.

Pentair's proprietary quick-change design allows cartridges to be easily accessed and changed within just a matter of minutes. Plus, no nuts or bolts are involved in the disassembly, resulting in considerable labor cost savings. In roughly one-fifth the time required by an equivalent conventional swing bolt system, an operator can change the cartridge in a 150 GPM Aqualine System. Due to Aqualine's optional isolation valving, the whole system can remain in operation while a single element is replaced--thus eliminating the need for expensive downtime. In addition, the large diameter and 60-inch cartridge length provides extended filter life, requiring less frequent filter change-outs and saving additional installation and equipment costs.

Pentair Industrial manufactures and markets a broad range of industrial filtration products including filter cartridges, filter bags, cartridge housings, bag housings and other housings, plus numerous related filtration accessories. Long known for quality filtration products and patented technologies, Pentair engineers key filtration solutions for industrial market sectors.
