Surface water extraction from the river Sieg

Application: process water for ink production

Four AP5011 are in use at Siegburg, to extract water from the river Sieg. Starting with a test filter in 2010, the filter station was quickly expanded to three AP5000 units. With time, these units had been modernized and updated to the next generation AP5011. In 2014 a fourth AP5011 in stainless steel was added to the filtration, since the water demand continuously grew. With a screen fineness of 100 µm and a flow rate of 400 m³/h all filters work reliably and without interruption still today.
