Energy
Techno Filter provides reliable and sustainable filtration solutions for the energy sector. In power generation, district heating and cooling networks, renewable energy installations, and biogas plants, maintaining consistent water and process quality is essential for achieving high efficiency, safe operation, and a long service life for critical equipment.
Our filtration systems are designed for continuous operation under demanding and often fluctuating process conditions. We supply both main-stream and side-stream filtration systems, including blowdown filters, together with a comprehensive range of filter cartridges, filter bags, and specialised filter elements
Specific filtration applications in the energy sector and biogas plants
Our filtration solutions are used in a wide range of energy and biogas applications, including:
- Blowdown filtration for Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) and Thermal and Cold Storage (WKO) systems, removing sand, sludge, iron, and fine particles from groundwater
- Filtration in geothermal installations to protect equipment from sand production, corrosion products, and mineral deposits
- Side-stream filtration of heating and cooling systems for the continuous removal of magnetite, sludge, and corrosion particles
- Filtration of district heating networks and closed-loop energy systems to support reliable, long-term operation
- Pre-filtration for heat exchangers and heat pumps to maintain efficiency, heat transfer performance, and system capacity
- Filtration of process water and cooling water in power generation plants and industrial energy systems
- Filtration in biogas and biomethane installations, including:
- Protection of pumps, valves, and instrumentation from particulate contamination
- Removal of corrosion products and process solids from digestate and process water streams
- Filtration of cooling water and utility water systems
- Protection of membrane systems used in biogas upgrading processes
- Filtration of condensate and process liquids to improve equipment reliability and reduce maintenance requirements
Protection of critical energy systems and installations
Effective filtration plays an important role in protecting critical equipment and maintaining the reliability, efficiency, and service life of energy systems. Our filtration solutions help protect:
- Heat exchangers from fouling, scaling, and reduced heat transfer efficiency
- Heat pumps and boilers by maintaining clean circulation flows and reducing the build-up of deposits
- Pumps and pipework from blockage, wear, and erosion caused by suspended solids
- Control and isolation valves, ensuring reliable and accurate operation
- Instrumentation and control equipment, including flow, pressure, and temperature sensors, by preventing contamination and fouling
- ATES and geothermal wells from silting, sediment build-up, and premature wear
- District heating and cooling networks by continuously removing corrosion products and suspended solids
- Biogas and biomethane installations by supporting stable operation, reducing maintenance requirements, and protecting downstream equipment
Robust filter housings and complete filtration solutions
Techno Filter supplies robust filter housings in carbon steel, stainless steel, and plastic, designed for high flow rates, elevated operating pressures, and long-term service in energy systems and biogas installations. Our solutions are available as manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic self-cleaning blowdown filters, as well as side-stream filtration systems.
By combining customised designs, durable materials, and proven filtration technologies, Techno Filter helps improve energy efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of critical equipment and installations.
From initial consultation and system design through to supply, commissioning support, and ongoing maintenance, Techno Filter works closely with customers to ensure that every filtration solution is optimised to meet the technical, operational, economic, and sustainability objectives of the energy system or biogas plant.
