In large systems, the dissipation of process or ambient heat generated by manufacturing, power generation and food processors often is accomplished by cooling towers. These structures facilitate the transfer of heat through the use of water.

Choosing the best type of water filtration system for an industrial cooling process can be a daunting task. Considerations regarding system footprint, ease of maintenance, materials of construction, cost effectiveness, waste disposal and performance are essential to help narrow the choices relating to the filtration system. 

Parker Hannifin Corp. is expanding its research and development capabilities in the field of advanced hollow-fiber filter membranes at the Parker Filtration Innovation Center in Columbia, Tenn. The research will improve membrane technology for applications within the food and beverage, life sciences, water purification and gas generation industries.

Designed for applications where a fine level of filtration is not required, Series ORC can be installed in parallel to handle larger flow rates. Perforated stainless steel screens are available with 3000, 5000 or 8000 micron openings.

Lakos Filtration Systems has formed strategic partnership with Handasiyah, an engineered products distributor located in the Middle East. According to filtration systems maker Lakos, Handasiyah has deep knowledge and expertise in refrigeration leak detection, outdoor cooling systems, hydronic cooling, liquid-solid filtration and humidity control.
