Automatic Self-Cleaning Water Filters for Power Generation

Self-Cleaning Water Filters for Power Generation

Power generation facilities rely on clean, uninterrupted water flow to maintain peak thermal performance and prevent damage to expensive critical systems. Tekleen automatic self-cleaning water filters deliver precise, minimal maintenance clean water that protects boilers, turbines, and heat exchangers while reducing operational costs and water waste.

Tekleen filters operate at high pressure and temperature ranges, removing particles down to 2 microns or finer without disrupting the clean water supply. From river water intake to boiler feed and cooling tower loops, Tekleen filters are built to perform in harsh conditions with minimal manual intervention.

The Solution

Filtration Challenges Solved by Tekleen

Fouling of Heat Exchangers
Continuous self-cleaning prevents scale buildup
Spray Nozzle Clogging
Maintains clean, pressurized spray flows
Debris in Intake or Cooling Loops
Removes suspended solids before circulation
Manual Filter Maintenance
PLC-controlled self-cleaning with no operator time

Why Tekleen Water Filters for Power Generation

Tekleen automatic filters use a stainless steel screen to trap particles inside the filter body. As dirt accumulates, a pressure differential is reached between the inlet and outlet, activating a backwash cycle. A suction scanner powered by water pressure or an electric motor rotates inside the filter, removing debris from the screen and flushing it out through a drain while the system remains online.

This self-cleaning process is fully automated. It eliminates the need for manual maintenance or media replacement and ensures uninterrupted system performance.
