Tubular Backwashing or Pressure Leafoth FSD Systems Eliminate Bags and Cartridge

ExpertiseFSD incorporates over 60 years of filtrationexperience in every amine filtration systembuild. Founded in 1933, FSD manufacturesbroad line of self-cleaning Tubular BackwasFilters, Pressure Leaf Filters, Pressure NutsFilter Presses and Sludge Dryers.FSD's worldwide customer list includescompanies such as Koch Refining, Texaco/Aramco, Bechtel, Black & Veatch/PritchardParsons Engineering. Systems range in size- ]5 gpm to 3,000 gpm (lm'/hr - 700m /hr) anincorporate pre-coat, admix, piping, pumpautomation skids.

Tubular Backwashing Amine Filter System for ParsonsEngineering features self-cleaning, reusable f il ter elementsand refinery-grade features such as nit rogen purge.

and natural gas often contain high levels ofhur that require removal (sweetening) iner to lower the environmental impact andase value. Amine systems are commonlyloyed to perform this "sweetening."

ine systems become contaminated with organicinorganic solids that cause severe foaming in thetactor and stripper, resulting in poor systemormance. Filtration systems are challenged toide safe operation (eliminate personnel H2S exposure)efficient solids removal. (0.5-20 micron filtration)

Tubular Backwashing Amine Filtration SystemsContinuous Duty, High Flow Rates

FSD Tubular Backwashing AmineFiltration Systems offer continuous andself-cleaning operation throughsequential backwashing of individualfilter elements. They eliminate thehazards and costs associated with bag andcartridge filter replacement. In addition,isolating the amine from the backwashwater through the use of control andnitrogen purge limits the COD load towaste treatment.High Pressure HousingsTotal Range of Control OptionsFlanged, Removable Filter ElementsFire Safe Features including ANSIflanged valves and double acting, springretum actuators
