The following high purity piping guide, developed by Industrial Water Solutions, is a series of piping recommendations for corresponding high purity and ultra high purity water treatment applications as well as the maximum temperatures that the piping can accommodate.  It is also very important that high purity or ultrapure water pipe fitting joints must not utilize chemical (solvent) bonding techniques or threads for assembly. Fitting joints must be accomplished with a heat-based process. The suggested water velocity within the pipes for ultrapure water is 3-6 fps (feet per second).

The quality of water degrades as it is stored and is highly susceptible to bacterial growth. Recirculation of the water at the above velocities reduces the likelihood of the establishment of colonies and biofilm. Installing a UV system and .2 micron or smaller filter helps prevent bacterial growth.  Smaller storage tanks, which don’t allow water to sit statically for long as well as spray balls or spray bars also reduce likelihood of bacterial growth.  Lastly, deadlegs should be eliminated or minimized.

Due to the reduction or removal of ions, treated water can sometimes become “aggressive” and corrode some kinds of piping. Therefore, when utilizing a water treatment system, it is important to consider the piping that will be used for water’s transport.

Filson: The Optimal Well Screen Supplier With New Innovations And Technologies

Filson well screen, also known as water well screen, is an essential filter media used for well filtration applications. It allows water to enter the pipe from several entry points while preventing the unwanted contaminants, to achieve the filtration purpose.

Filson water well screen is commonly made of 304, 316L, or 904 stainless steels with high mechanical strength, withstanding the pressure from formation and borehole. Of course, other corrosion-resistant alloys are available upon your request.

Filson well screen is manufactured with a continuous v-shaped slot to reduce the entrance velocity of water and encrustation rates. Besides, Filson well screen has a large surface area without clogging, thus provide superior filtration performance.

Well screen slot size selection is a critical step, typically based on the particle size analysis of the formation sample. With the standard slot size range from 0.005” to 0.5”, Filson well screen can control sand particles and silt from the well perfectly.

For different wells and aquifers, Filson well screen may be constructed with a variety of different materials and designs. Typical water well screen types include stainless steel well screen, PVC water well screen, gravel packed well screen, continuous slot well screen.

Compared with other screen design like horizontal louver screen and bridge slot screen, Filson wedge wire well screen has higher open area to get lower head loss, and can be used in wider applications.

Moreover, well screen manufactured by Filson supports to add a gravel pack to improve its filtration efficiency. The purpose of well screen and gravel packs is to maintain open access within the aquifer and ensure the well development is not impeded by sand.

After a period of using, your water well screen may be damaged, whereas a well screen replacement is not feasible, you can install a smaller diameter screen inside the original well screen. This will even out the water flow thus reduce the sand entering.

As one of the most professional water well screen suppliers, Filson has more than 18 years of design and production experience. We will always be your business partner in well screen field, helping you select the best water well screen or design your personalized one.

Just give us your specific application, well conditions and formation properties, we can guarantee to customize the most suitable well screen for you.
