Fēnix Water

100% Ecological Water Purification

With extensive experience in the water treatment industry, FWS can swiftly and accurately address all your water filtration needs.

FWS has developed and patented a revolutionary pressure filter that incorporates newly developed combined technologies, offering significant advantages over existing filtration methods. This innovative approach, coupled with the unique internal component design, allows for much higher filtration rates, leading to substantial savings on capital, operational, and maintenance costs.

The FWS Technology has been rigorously tested.

Backwash Operation:

Our patented system is engineered to deliver the most efficient backwash possible, ensuring day-to-day filter media efficiency. The design of our high-efficiency sand filter eliminates the need for air scour assistance, thereby reducing capital costs and ongoing maintenance expenses.

Advantages:

• Unaffected by Variable Filtration Velocities, ideal for energy-saving with VSD.
• 100% Backwash Performance – No air scour required.
• Robust Construction.
• Reduces BOD, COD, Iron, etc.
• Available in 316 Stainless Steel – Fully Recyclable & Environmentally Friendly.
• Removes 99.2% of Cryptosporidium without Flocculation – Proven by independent testing with actual live Cryptosporidium oocysts.
• Reduced Footprint and Gross Weight.
• Lower Backwash Water Consumption.
• Low Maintenance.
• Various media options available for different applications.
• Capacity ranges from 3,000 l/h to 4,000,000 l/h.

Chemical & Pharmaceutical Industry

FWS Technology is ideal for treating process water within the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, allowing for water reclamation for reuse or water polishing before final discharge. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, the FWS filtration unit is among the few that can handle hot liquids used in sterilization and cleaning. Additionally, internal components can be made of stainless steel, and the units can be designed taller and slimmer to reduce the required footprint.

Offshore Oil & Gas Industry

Desalinated water is essential for offshore oil and gas platforms and Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) systems, used for potable water and various production processes. The limited footprint on these platforms demands compact pre-treatment solutions. Pilot tests with FWS Technology confirmed that it reduces the silt density index (SDI) to levels suitable for reverse osmosis (RO) systems at higher filtration velocities. The ability to operate at high velocity reduces vessel size, saving space and money. FWS Technology is currently employed in FPSO removal systems and desalination plants in offshore applications.

Fruit & Vegetable Preparation

FWS Filters are being tested for use in cleaning fruit at packaging facilities, enabling water recycling in a closed-loop system. The final recycled water quality is very high, and the water authority has granted permission to recycle the water within the plant for cleaning equipment and transport vehicles.

Pollutant Effluent and the Environment

Water bodies such as lakes, rivers, and oceans have limited capacity to process polluted effluents from industrial, agricultural, and urban sources. Water quality degradation can contribute to water scarcity and has devastating effects on wildlife and humans. The EU’s Water Framework Directive (WFD) aims to achieve “good water status” in all European waters. The FWS Technology can help meet these guidelines by reducing industrial discharge and recycling process water, significantly lowering pollution and particulate matter reintroduced into the environment. Post-installation, discharge readings of less than 3 S/S mg per liter can be consistently achieved without flocculation.
