Liquid Filtration

R.P. Adams manufactures liquid filtration products suitable for drinking water applications and chemical filtration applications.

Simple, Reliable, and Efficient Operation

The R.P. Adams IWF filter provides a high level of filtration and reliability through a proven design. The filter has no internal moving parts reducing maintenance and operating costs. The filter backwash is operated by system pressure, or by compressed air, eliminating the need for clean water therefore reducing operating costs and the generation of wastewater. The backwash is highly effective and utilizes less than .05% of the filter throughput.

The R.P. Adams IWF Filter is a multi-element tubular filter designed to remove fine particulate from liquid process streams. Utilizing a filter aid precoat, it can remove particulate as fine as 0.3 micron with flow rates in excess of 2 gpm/ft2 of filter area.

Our IWF Filters Are Built-to-Last

Our IWF filters have no moving parts, reducing the amount of maintenance required and lowering operating costs. The rugged filter elements are designed to be cleaned in place by backwashing.  Many installations have experienced element life of over 25 years. The rigid nature of the elements provides reliable support of the precoat media even in the event of pressure or flow fluctuations assuring effluent quality. Other types of filters can flex due to changes in pressure or flow causing the filter media to crack, allowing contaminates to pass down-stream.
