            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.
The only multi-element, single-housing filter in the backwashing/tubular family, the VWS-Series offers high-flow capability and is well-suited to code applications. Filter elements are arranged in a circular pattern within a single large housing. At the center of the system is a rotating washing arm. When an element requires cleaning, the washing arm rotates to that element. Much like the AFR-Series, when the drain valve is opened to atmosphere, a vacuum condition occurs, and the position pressure of the unit forces clean process liquid backward through the media and flushes contaminants.
VWS-Series - high flow with a single vessel
The VWS-Series is perfect for high-flow applications on water-like liquids - up to 22,000 gpm (4,997 m3/hr) – including surface water straining or injection water for drilling applications. Its unique multi-element, single-housing design makes it ideal for code applications and those requiring specialized materials and coatings. Backwashing is based on differential pressure, to minimize unnecessary element cleaning.
