Forsta Filters Attends ACE11 in Washington DC



For exceptional education and networking, water professionals from all over the world travel to AWWA conferences to stay on top of new developments.  Forsta joined the annual conference and exhibition this year to meet with representatives from many companies who have expressed interest in what Forsta has to offer.

Over the last few years, Forsta has responded to consistent feedback from engineers in the water treatment field.  Forsta’s current line of self-cleaning screen filters are more robust, waste less water, offer more open screen area, and are available in the widest range of materials; including high-grade stainless steel alloys and Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP.)*

The conference was an excellent opportunity to explore the expanding role that self-cleaning filters play as pre-filters for a number of different prevalent technologies.  Among the technologies represented at ACE11 that require prefiltration were Ion Exchange, Ultrafiltration, Nanofiltration, Microfiltration, Reverse Osmosis, and UV Disinfection.

Suspended particle removal is imperative across all industries that utilize water, and ACE11 was a great meeting place for industrial, municipal, and agricultural water professionals to discuss optimal filtration techniques. The projects concerning the engineers at ACE11 were diverse and included water sources of all varieties.  Forsta addressed filtration applications including; of river water for cruise ships, sea water for cooling and recycled water for irrigation.

Overall, the event was a great success.  The conference afforded a great opportunity to connect with colleagues and share the newest information available.
