In pulp and paper facilities, water quality plays a critical role in maintaining equipment performance and achieving consistent product results. Operations source water primarily from adjacent rivers and lakes, introducing significant contamination challenges – with increasingly stringent regulatory pressure regarding water usage and discharge quality, effective water filtration has become a critical concern for manufacturers.
Tekleen’s automatic selfcleaning water filters offer a dependable solutionimproving system reliability, supporting sustainability targets, and reducing unplanned downtime
Fiber and Particulate Contamination: Process water in paper mills often contains suspended fibers and solids that clog nozzles, damage pumps, and interfere with critical operations. Traditional filters typically cannot handle paper fibers that become ‘stapled’ to the filter screen.
Spray Nozzle Blockage: Nozzle fouling caused by unfiltered water leads to uneven application on belts, felts, and shower systems, increasing scrap rates, quality defects, and manual cleaning needs.
Cooling System Fouling: River and lake water introduces contaminants into cooling systems, increasing scaling, biofouling, and debris accumulation – limiting the heat transfer rate and forcing premature shutdowns.
Water Waste and Compliance Pressure: Inefficient filtration leads to excessive water usage, higher discharge costs, and increased scrutiny from environmental agencies.
White Water Fiber Management: Recycling process water (white water) is essential for operational efficiency, but the high fiber content in the water presents unique challenges, Standard technologies cannot manage these fibers without clogging, creating a constant maintenance burden.
Ensures clean water throughout the paper mills processes, removing suspended solids that impact quality and equipment reliability. Ideal for improving operational reliability and reducing cleaning intervals.
Prevents nozzle clogging in showers and coating stations, ensuring consistent spray patterns and reducing maintenance labor.
Maintains clean cooling water to avoid scale and biological buildup on heat exchangers, pumps, or other downstream equipment —boosting system efficiency and reducing energy use.
Supports
In-plant recycling by filtering used process water for reuse, lowering freshwater intake and aligning with circular water strategies.
R/O Pre-Filtration
Delivers clean water to mechanical seals on process pumps, extending seal life and preventing premature failures.
White Water Filtration
Removes paper fibers and contaminants from recirculated process water.
Plant Intake Water (POE)
Filters water from rivers, lakes, and wells at the point of entry, removing suspended solids, organic matter, and seasonal contaminants, addressing water quality issues at the source
Shower Water Systems
Provides consistently clean water for felt cleaning showers, wire cleaning systems, and fabric conditioning applications.
Gland/Pump Seal Protection
Delivers clean water to mechanical seals on process pumps, extending seal life and preventing premature failures.
