R&D for metallurgical industry

One of the major challenges faced by the metallurgical coal mining industry is the presence of very fine particles in the processed water that are difficult to treat with traditional methods. Our pilot demonstrates the applicability of our Sofi Filter for coal fines removal.

Why must firms treat industrial ...

The impact of water scarcity is rapidly increasing. Currently, only 20% of the wastewater is treated globally before discharging back into the water bodies. An old-school approach to wastewater management has caused an irreversible negative impact on our ecosystem. Firms are constantly struggling to keep up with environmental regulations and meeting stakeholder demands. As water demand and supply are becoming increasingly aggravated, it has become crucial for the firms to reconceptualize and see these challenges as a growth opportunity. As of now the common drivers for the companies to treat industrial wastewater is often tied to regulatory compliance. This article will highlight some of the key advantages of treating wastewater beyond regulatory compliance.

Why must firms treat industrial wastewater beyond regulatory compliance?

Power plant - District heat network fine particle filtration - Case study

Throughout 2015 Sofi Filtration has continued the pilot series started in 2014. We have piloted our technology in a variety of industries under some of the hardest technical and environmental conditions. We have done all this to restate our commitment to engineering for the environment and ultimately to ensure that our technology meets and exceeds the industry requirements.

In June 2015 we have successfully completed an application feasibility project with Fortum in the Power Generation / CHP Plant from the greater Helsinki area. More specifically our Sofi Filter has been set up in the district heat network circulation water of one CHP plant in order to remove very fine particles contamination from the district hear water. In most cases, very fine particles such as magnetite below 1 µm can seriously lower the efficiency of the heat distribution system. Additionally, these fine particles can create uncertainty when it comes to measurement equipment and data.              

The technology we used in this case was a Sofi Filter SF 1000 with self-cleaning by ultrasound and back pulse. You can also download the case here.

For additional details about this case please contact us directly.

Engineering for the efficiency

We are a Finnish technology company designing and supplying industry with our proprietary self-cleaning filtration systems. With over 2,000 filtration tests and hundreds of filters delivered around the world, you can rely on our expertise when it comes to separating fine particles. We know fines.
