Forsta Filters Announces Self-Cleaning Screen Filters in Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP)

June 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Forsta Filters’ exciting new FRP Series offers an ideal solution for corrosion resistance in brackish, brine and seawater filtration applications. All wetted components of the FRP Series self-cleaning filters are constructed from seawater-resistant plastic and other high alloy materials, making it the only one of its kind.  The FRP Series filters can withstand pressures up to 150 psi and feature all the same great benefits of Forsta Filters’ stainless steel self-cleaning water filters.

Forsta’s FRP Series self-cleaning water filters are available with an on-line, or in-line flange configuration to accommodate simple installation, and easily integrate with any pipeline.  A two-stage screening process distinguishes the FRP Series filters. A coarse screen is responsible for straining out large debris from the water source, and the fine screen purifies water to the designated micron rating.  As with all Forsta self-cleaning filters, the FRP filter’s short backwash cycle never interrupts the main system flow.

FRP Series Filter Characteristics:
   Flow Rate: 15-20,000 gpm
   Flush cycle duration: 6 - 12 seconds
   Flush valve size: single 1" or a single 2"
   Screen opening: 5µ - 4000µ
   Temperature: 210ºF
   Flush Volume: 2- 50 gallons per backwash
  Working pressure: 35- 150 psi
