TEQUATIC™ PLUS F-75 Filter, B-Series Skid Amiad Water Systems | 2018 4.4 System Setup The following sections describe each of the areas of system setup. Even though many of the parameters are independent, they are presented in sequence based on interdependencies of a complete system setup.
Amiad Water Systems | 2018 TEQUATIC™ PLUS F-75 Filter, B-Series Skid 4.4.3 Filtrate Flow Rate The filtrate flow rate is manually controlled by the filtrate flow valve, which is a diaphragm-type valve. Unlike the filtrate control valve, which is either open or closed, the filtrate flow valve regulates the amount of flow permitted when the control valve is opened by the system controller.
TEQUATIC™ PLUS F-75 Filter, B-Series Skid Amiad Water Systems | 2018 4.4.5 Cleaning Cycle Settings A cleaning cycle is when the filtrate flow is stopped but the brushes continue to rotate against the filter medium. This permits the brushes to more effectively remove particulate from the face of the filter without the pressure differential pushing the particles against the filter.
Amiad Water Systems | 2018 TEQUATIC™ PLUS F-75 Filter, B-Series Skid 4.4.6 Clean In Place (CIP) The Clean In Place (CIP) allows enhanced cleaning for especially difficult process water. A single CIP Event contains one or more CIP cycles. The CIP should be used when the standard cleaning capabilities of the skid are not adequate to keep the filter clean and running stable.
TEQUATIC™ PLUS F-75 Filter, B-Series Skid Amiad Water Systems | 2018 4.5 SCADA Integration Networking is performed using the Scalance communication switch and two types of communication are supported, Profinet and Siemens Industrial Ethernet.
