Filtration is a process of physical re-
moval of suspended matter in raw wa-
ter & re-circulating cooling water in
Power, Steel, fertilizers and Cement
industries.
Side stream fltration decreases water
usage and improves heat transfer ef-
ciency, thereby reducing operating
cost. Employing side stream fltration
results in:
Reduced fouling
Reducebiologically induced corro-
sion
Reduce scaling by limiting corro-
sion
Signifcant energy and water sav-
ings
Reduction in chemical use
Lower maintenance cost
Improved productivity and reduc-
tion in downtime
ADVANTAGES OF SEBAC FILTERS
Minimum Labour:
The SEBAC flters are Operatorfree
as they flter and backwash without
any human intervention.
///////.,
Minimum Maintenance:

In the SEBAC flters have no valves,
pumps, fow controllers switches or other
instruments which require frequent
maintenance. The system requires no-
power as it a gravity flter.

Uniform High Quality Efuent:

As the fltered water is discharged above
the flter bed, a negative head loss cannot
develop. This eliminates the problems of
conventional flters including channelling,
mud balls, that upset beds. The net result
is uniform high quality efuent water with
high reduction of suspended solids (99%).
Complete Control:
Backwash can be manually initiated at
any time regardless of bed condition;
this permits adjustment of plant sched-
ules.
Saves Time, Money & Space:
Easy for transportation in Containers
for horizontal bed designs.
With Space saving dual bed designs,
larger capacities can be met and very
high loads can be dealt by using sever-
al units in parallel.
Manufacturing at our works eliminates
uncertainities of site, thus enabling us
on-time delivery with high quality &
economical construction.

Self-Backwashing Gravity Filters
These flters are of "Self Back-washing
gravity type". Instead of monitoring
the turbidity of fltered water which is
seldom practical, the head loss princi-
ple is a better control option.
Head loss actuates a backwash
siphon and draws wash water
from its storage through the bed
and out through the siphon pipe
to waste. A low level in the back-
wash storage section breaks the
siphon, and the flter returns to
service.
SEBAC ofers efcient water man-
agement solution. This self-
backwashing flter technology is
developed at IEC Fabchem in-
house Product Development Cen-
tre. The flter design has been duly
validated for establishing capacity
of fltration & auto-backwash ca-
pability.
IEC has successfully designed, de-
veloped & installed single bed and
dual bed Self Back-washing auto-
matic valve-less gravity flters.
Product Description
SEBAC consists of a tank divided into
three functional compartments
Backwash storage space
Filter bed compartment
Collection chamber
The backwash storage space is
designed to hold an adequate
amount of backwash water.
The flter bed compartment nor-
mally contains graded flter sand
supported on a collection system
of disc having strainers which pro-
vide uniform collection of fltered
water.
Graded flter sand or dual media is
generally used as the flter media.
Dual bed flters is generally preferred
for large capacity fltration require-
ments wherein the fltration equip-
ment occupies considerably smaller
footprint than a single bed flter of
same output capacity.
This innovative fltration technology
has the advantage of being able to
treat large fows of water without
consuming energy for the fltering
and backwashing operation.
The standard models are available in
steel.

The Stages of the Filtration:
The raw water fows through the fl-
ter media. The hydrostatic pressure
increases as suspended particles are
retained causing the water level in
the relative chamber goes up.
When pressure drop through the fl-
ter bed reaches the set level, the
backwashing is run automatically. The
backwashing is achieved in a very
short duration (approximately in 5
minutes or less)
The backwashing water, containing
the solid particles retained during the
fltration process, is siphoned into a
dedicated sump, which later can be
transferred to the sludge dewatering
unit.

Energy Saving & Cost Cutting

SEBAC automatic Valve-less Gravity
Filter can be easily installed in a
closed- circuit cooling water system.
Furthermore, due to the simple princi-
ple, the management and the supervi-
sion of the process has minimal costs.
