SINGLE TUBE FILTERS

The Howes Single Tube Filter is suitable for many industrial applications from straining to fine polish filtration. Single Tube Filters are available in sizes from 85 to 594 square inches for flow rates from under 1 to over 300 GPM. A wide selection of filter media is available to handle levels of separation from 3/16 inch to 1 micron.

DUAL TUBE FILTERS

Howes Dual Tube Filter System allows for continuous flow. In the Dual Tube Filter arrangement, two filter units are interconnected with 3-way plug valves or inline full ported 3-way ball valves. One unit operates (on stream) while the other unit is on standby (off stream) for cleaning or inspection. The Howes Dual Tube Filter System typically has the same flow capacity as the Single Tube Filter but can be increased with optional valve arrangements.

MULTIPLE TUBE FILTERS

The Multiple Tube Filter Systems manifold multiple filters together for parallel operation and offer flow capacities up to 5,000 GPM. The System can provide continuous uninterrupted flow with automatic intermittent cleaning of the filter elements during backwashing. The systems are typically sized to maintain flow capacity while one unit is off stream for backwashing. Manifolding arrangements can be made to permit backwashing with either the process stream (internal) and/or another stream (external). A reuse system can help conserve the process liquid and control backwash losses.
