Algas microfilters recover useable fiber and enable safe re-use of process temperature water. This reduces both heating energy and water consumption in the plant. We have been supplying filters world-wide for over 30 years, with hundreds of installations in the pulp and paper industry.

The filters are designed for recovery of fiber from white water, producing a filtrate of sufficient quality for re-use in the process. The need to save and re-use water is ever increasing, and today our flexible concept has also been taken into many other applications of water treatment.

• An efficient water treatment leads to many savings:
• Water savings – efficient re-use of process water.
• Energy savings – re-use of warm clarified water instead of heating new fresh water.
• Raw material savings – filtration saves good fiber for re-use.
• Power savings – recovering the raw materials retains the power that has been put into processing it.
• Waste savings – reduced solids loading in the effluent plant reduces the handling of sludge.
• Chemical savings – chemicals are recovered in the raw materials and in the effluent plant.
