Amiad Filtration Systems proudly introduces its new AMF Automatic Microfiber filtration system, a revolutionary automatic self-cleaning system that delivers filtration in the 2-to-20-micron range without consumable media — eliminating filter aids, cartridges and bag filters as well as the associated labor and disposal costs.

Fine microfibers wound around grooved plastic spools capture suspended and colloidal foulants, including both organic and inorganic particles.

The Amiad AMF is designed to perform well in oil and gas production for filtering produced water, as well as service water from either fresh or seawater sources. Cleaner produced water and service water can significantly extend the life of injection wells and equipment.

The Amiad AMF can also be used as part of a multi-stage filtration system for treating supply water or wastewater, protecting expensive membranes and dramatically reducing the need for time- and chemical-intensive membrane cleaning. In fact, installing an Amiad AMF upstream of an RO membrane can reduce membrane cleaning by a factor of four, according to Amiad vice president of sales and marketing Jim Lauria.

Extremely compact, the Amiad AMF's minimal size and weight footprint delivers fine filtration with automatic self-cleaning, minimal maintenance, and no cartridges to replace. Back-wash is far more water- and energy-efficient than with other filtration technologies, and is conducted without breaking the integrity of the filtration.

"The AMF system is a perfect extension of our Clean Water/Clean Technology philosophy," says Lauria. "It helps reduce chemical use, minimize back-flush, reduce footprint and lower energy costs. Those attributes show up on the environmental and economic bottom lines."
