Built for water that never stops arriving.
Turn-key and skid-mounted. Wedge-wire screens from 50 to 500 micron, and up to 50,000 barrels a day through a system that cleans itself and reports back over cellular VPN.
What it replaces
Filter pots. Bag housings. Cartridge skids. Anything with a consumable inside it and a man in a truck scheduled to change it.
The 98 Series was built specifically for produced water — not adapted from a clean-service design and sold into the oilfield. The screen is permanent, the cleaning is automatic, and the flow doesn't stop for either.
What changes
- No disposable filter media, and no disposal cost for it
- No backwash line to run, permit, or maintain
- Significantly fewer tank cleanouts
- Chemical programs reduced or eliminated
- Low pressure drop and minimal fluid loss
- Labor moves from scheduled filter changes to occasional service
How it works
01 CAPTURE
Fluid enters through a 10" CL150 inlet and passes through a reinforced wedge-wire screen. Solids are held on the screen face while pressure drop stays low enough for extended run times.
02 CLEAN
As the screen loads, differential pressure rises. At your setpoint, brushes sweep the screen face mechanically — no backwash, no flow reversal, no interruption. You can also run on a fixed interval with dP as the fallback trigger.
03 PURGE
Captured solids leave through a double-isolated purge line to a separate tank. Purge timing and duration are set on the touchscreen and adjustable remotely.

dP mode
Cleaning triggered on differential pressure alone
dP + timer mode
Preset intervals with dP as the fallback trigger

Timing and duration, user adjustable
Data logging
Readable on the touchscreen or pulled remotely
Valve actuation
Electric actuators throughout — no instrument air
Remote access
Secure cellular VPN
A 7" touchscreen at the skid, and secure cellular VPN from wherever you are. Electric actuators on every valve mean there's nothing to turn by hand and no instrument air to run.
Every internal surface of the 98 Series is 316L stainless steel lined with Seaguard® 5000 HS, a two-component, high-solids, polyamine-cured epoxy. It has been the general-purpose primer of choice for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard for more than fifteen years.
Seaguard® 5000 HS
MIL-PRF-24647 — qualified for underwater hull
MIL-PRF-23236 — qualified for ballast tanks and fuel tanks
IMO Performance Standard — SOLAS II-1/3-2 and XII/6.3
On a ship it lines ballast tanks, fuel tanks, and underwater hulls. In the 98 Series it does the same job against produced water — which is why the vessel outlasts everything plumbed to it.
Applications
PRODUCED WATER
All produced water applications.
SALTWATER DISPOSAL
Pre H-pump, or in front of aboveground storage tanks.
RECYCLE & REUSE
Incoming flow, outgoing flow, or a pond-cleaning loop.
OILFIELD & INDUSTRIAL
Any rigorous fluid system, oilfield or industrial.
Front-end solids removal is becoming a prerequisite
Produced water rules are moving toward advanced treatment, contaminant removal, and reuse without discharge risk. Every one of those paths starts with getting solids out of the stream.
The 98 Series preprocesses high-solids water — sand, grit, emulsions — ahead of downstream technology like desalination. That reduces residuals, protects the equipment behind it, and gives you a repeatable, certifiable filtration step to point at when someone asks how the water was handled.
