Capture, clean, expel: how Ronningen-Petter systems from Eaton work
Every process is unique - that’s why we offer several backwashing/tubular systems in several configurations.

Our flagship tubular systems. During backwash, a single tube is taken off-line from the process flow via a three-way valve. Once an element is clean, it is returned to service and the next element may be cleaned. The remaining elements in the filter remain operational throughout this cycle. F-Series and AFC-Seriesmore

Cake Formation Increases Operational Efficiency

N/A While the filtration media provides some of the filtration action, collected contaminants actually further increase efficiency. We call this phenomenon "cake formation." The collected solids (or "cake") trap additional contaminants. The key to making this principle work is timely cleaning - too soon and you lose the benefit, too late and the system flow becomes hindered.

Ronningen-Petter systems come factory pre-set to backwash when the differential pressure from inlet to outlet reaches 15 psi (1 bar) - typically the optimum time to initiate backwashing, although this is adjustable.
