Automatic Pressurized Filters for Water Treatment


Cleaner water, safer processes, and less need for operational intervention.


Pressurized filters are used to improve water quality by employing different filter media, such as filter sand, activated carbon, and zeolites. Depending on the system configuration, it can remove suspended solids, turbidity, chlorine, odors, organic compounds, and other contaminants present in the water.


Applications: Artesian well water, river and reservoir water, pre-treatment for reverse osmosis, industrial water, cooling towers, boilers, water reuse and compact water treatment plants.


Why use a pressurized filter?


Water quality directly influences equipment performance and the efficiency of industrial processes. The CCLM Pressurized Filter acts as a fundamental step in the treatment, removing solid particles, turbidity, organic matter, chlorine, odors, and other contaminants that can compromise operations.


In addition to improving water quality, the system protects downstream equipment, reduces maintenance costs, and increases the efficiency of technologies such as reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, water softeners, and demineralization systems.

Available filter media:

🔹 Filter sand: Removal of suspended solids and turbidity.

🔹 Activated carbon: Removes chlorine, color, odor, and organic compounds.

🔹 Zeolites: Removal of specific metals and contaminants.

7 benefits for your company:

  1. Higher quality water for your processes: Removes suspended solids, turbidity and other impurities, providing water of adequate quality for industrial, commercial and treatment systems.
  2. Equipment protection and increased lifespan: Reduces wear and tear on pumps, pipes, valves, reverse osmosis membranes, ion exchange resins, and other equipment, minimizing corrective maintenance.
  3. Reduced chemical consumption: By improving water quality during pre-treatment, the system reduces the need for chemicals used in subsequent process stages.
  4. Fully automatic operation: Equipped with automatic backwash valves, the system operates with minimal operator intervention, providing greater convenience and reliability.
  5. Reduced operating costs: Efficient filtration decreases downtime, reduces maintenance frequency, and increases equipment lifespan, generating savings throughout the operation.
  6. Customized design for each application: Designed according to flow rate, water quality and customer needs, and can utilize filter sand, activated carbon, zeolite or other specific filter media.
  7. Robust and long-lasting solution: Manufactured with high-quality, durable materials, ensuring continuous performance even in demanding industrial applications.

  • What is the difference between sand and activated charcoal?

    Sand removes solid particles. Activated carbon removes chlorine, odors, and organic compounds.

  • Does the system have automatic backwashing?

    Yes. The equipment can operate with a programmable automatic valve for periodic cleaning of the filter bed.

  • Can it be used before reverse osmosis?

    Yes. It's one of the most common applications for increasing the lifespan of membranes.

  • What are zeolites and what are the advantages of using them in water treatment?

    Zeolites are filtering media used in specific water and wastewater treatment applications. Depending on the characteristics of the water and the type of zeolite used, they can contribute to the removal of ammonia, certain metals, and other impurities through ion exchange and adsorption processes.
