The SCF and HL-SCF filters only have a built-in static non-self-cleaning coarse filter. When the SCF or HL-SCF filter is used in an outdoor installation with surface water and is not part of a closed system, a self-cleaning coarse filter becomes necessary. In this application, a self-cleaning ACF filter is combined with a self-cleaning (HL-)SCF filter.
If finer filtration is then required without a sand filter or reverse osmosis RO filter being necessary, the MFF filter is added, creating the combination ACF + (HL-)SCF + MFF.
Application examples of self-cleaning combined filtration systems are:
- Industrial filter system at 50 micron with multiple self-cleaning filter systems
- Industrial filter systems at 3 micron with multiple self-cleaning filter systems
- Mobile drinking water filtration machine
- Mobile wastewater treatment machine (mobile WWTP)
- Replacement of underperforming sand filters
- More cost-effective alternative to sand filters in terms of installation costs and operational costs
- Turnkey filter systems in shipping containers at 50 micron or 3 micron
- Mobile desalination machine
