Filtration of sour water –
a solution for refineries

Refineries, oil and gas industry

FAUDI Sieve basket filters Type S21

In this project, our FAUDI sieve basket filters are used in a refinery (in Germany) for the filtration of sour water. The sour water contaminated with solids is passed through the filters and flows through the internal sieve basket from the inside to the outside. The sieve basket filters were specially designed for this filtration task, which is why they have been given correspondingly individual dimensions. Due to the size and own weight of the sieve basket, removal for maintenance and cleaning work is only possible with a forklift truck. The sieve basket insert is equipped with special holders and guides for the fork of the forklift truck so that the removal and installation work can be carried out safely and precisely.
