Overview

The Ebbco Inc. Closed Loop Filtration System (CLS) is an industrial filtration system designed for waterjet applications. Its primary function is to reuse overflow water from a waterjet cutting machine's work tank by processing it to meet high-pressure pump specifications. The system aims to reduce water consumption and improve the efficiency of waterjet cutting operations by continuously filtering and recirculating the water.

Function Description:

The CLS operates by capturing overflow water from the customer's waterjet catch tank. This water first flows into a Settling Weir, which prevents large solids from entering the main filtration system. Inside the Settling Weir, a Pre-Filter Bag (Filter #5) removes debris 150 microns and larger, preventing it from settling into the dirty portion of the system tank. A float level assembly in the dirty tank maintains a consistent water level (10-14 inches) and supplies make-up water if the catch tank overflow is insufficient.

From the dirty tank, the system pump moves water through a series of filtration vessels. First, it passes through the Bag Vessel (Vessel #1), where an ultra-fine bag filter polishes the fluid to 1 micron. Next, the water enters the Hurricane Filter Vessel (Vessel #2), where a hurricane filter cartridge removes particles above 0.35 microns. The now clean fluid is deposited into the clean portion of the system tank.

The clean tank's Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Meter continuously monitors water quality. If the TDS level exceeds a preset high point (40-100 PPM), water is directed through the D.I. Vessel (Vessel #3). This vessel contains a waterjet resin bag that removes dissolved solids, reintroducing deionized water into the clean tank.

A High-Pressure Feed Pump then delivers the clean, cooled, TDS-controlled water from the clean tank back to the High-Pressure Waterjet Pump. The system is designed for continuous overflow from the clean tank into the dirty tank, ensuring a positive level of clean water for the feed pump and preventing potential damage.

The CLS also incorporates an Ozone Generator, which continuously introduces a mixture of ozone and air into the clean tank. This helps eliminate biological fouling agents throughout the system. Additionally, clean water is routed through a heat exchanger and a closed-loop chiller to cool the water and remove heat generated by the high-pressure cutting pump and the cutting process itself.
