Automatic Seawater Filters: Shipboard Reverse Osmosis Desalination

Forsta Filters has recently collaborated with BluMetric Environmental Inc. to provide custom automatic self-cleaning water filters for shipboard reverse osmosis desalination (SROD). The M2-90 U-Stamped ASME model filters for BluMetric are custom fabricated from Duplex Stainless Steel, made to withstand corrosive seawater environments. According to a recent news brief in Canada’s Martime Engineering Journal, the new automatic self-cleaning filters utilized in the Mk IV shipboard reverse osmosis desalination (SROD) system in HMCS Halifax (FFH-330), outperform conventional solid-liquid separation technologies in many aspects, including reduced operating costs and footprint.

According to BluMetric’s Managing Director of Military Systems, James Thomas, the level of pre-filtration on the new Mk IV SROD allows for continuous operation in littoral waters without any decrease in system performance or increase in operating costs or maintenance. Read the full article here:
