How to Learn More About Microfilter

1. Energy Consumption Analysis

The energy consumption of a microfilter mainly comes from motor drive and backwashing system. Taking a rotary drum type as an example:

microfilter
  • Motor Power: 1.5 kW, operating 24 hours per day, with an electricity cost of approximately 1.5 × 24 × 0.8 CNY ≈ 28.8 CNY (assuming an electricity price of 0.8 CNY/kWh).
  • Backwash Water Consumption: Accounts for about 1% to 3% of the treated volume, requiring a recycling system to reduce waste.

2. Maintenance Costs

  • Filter Mesh Replacement Cycle: Stainless steel mesh lasts about 2 to 3 years, while wedge wire screens can last over 5 years.
  • Cleaning Frequency: Based on water quality, automatic backwashing is typically performed 2 to 4 times per day.
  • Component Wear and Tear: The annual maintenance cost for parts such as bearings and seals is about 5% to 8% of the equipment's original value.

3. Intelligent Control: The Key to Enhancing Management Efficiency

A modern microfilter should have the following intelligent features:

  1. Automatic Backwashing: Triggered in real-time by a differential pressure sensor, eliminating manual intervention.
  2. Data Monitoring: IoT-based platform to monitor treatment volume, filter mesh condition, energy consumption, and other parameters.
  3. Fault Warning System: Automatically shuts down and sends an alarm when the filter mesh is clogged or the motor is overloaded.
