Bernoulli Systems

What Bernoulli Systems does

Bernoulli System AB is a Swedish manufacturer of self-cleaning water filters headquartered in Lund, Sweden. Founded in 1986 (originally as Seacool AB, renamed Bernoulli System AB in 1998), the company designs and produces industrial filtration equipment for water drawn from natural sources — sea, lake, and river — serving cooling, water treatment, aquaculture, petrochemical, power generation, and HVAC customers in over 80 countries. The technical foundation is the patented application of the Bernoulli Principle to filtration: a disc mounted on a pneumatic cylinder enters the filter basket and, through local pressure reduction, reverses flow to release accumulated particles without contact, enabling continuous automatic cleaning without manual intervention.

The product portfolio comprises single-basket filters (BSP in PVC for low capacities, BSS in stainless steel 316L, BSG in GRP for corrosive seawater up to 6,400 m3/h), multi-basket filters (BMG, four models DN400-DN800 up to 8,400 m3/h, with filtration down to 100 microns), manual filters (MSG in GRP, MSS in stainless steel, used as bypass or guard filters), and centrifugal separators (CXW, CPW, CXWV, CXWL) for particle separation without a screen element. Manufacturing, R&D, and corporate operations are consolidated in Lund following the 2015 closure of the in-house GRP production unit; the company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications.

The business model combines hardware sales (capital equipment priced per quote based on country, filter type, and application parameters) with after-sales service and spare parts revenue. Distribution is handled through direct enterprise sales at headquarters supported by a network of over 30 named regional channel partners covering Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and North America. The customer base includes power utilities, pulp and paper operators (e.g., SCA Östrand), electronics manufacturers (e.g., Alps Electric Malaysia), fish-farming operators, steel producers (e.g., Qatar Steel, RE Alloys), energy companies (e.g., Eren Enerji, Atlas Enerji), and infrastructure projects (e.g., Copenhagen Opera House).

Core offering

Bernoulli Systems designs and manufactures automatic and manual water filters plus centrifugal separators for industrial customers. Its self-cleaning filters use a disc on a pneumatic cylinder to apply the Bernoulli Principle for contactless cleaning, enabling continuous filtration of natural water sources (sea, lake, river) used in cooling systems, water treatment, aquaculture, and process industries. The product line covers flow rates from below 1 m3/h up to 8,400 m3/h with filtration down to 100 microns.

Product overview

Bernoulli Systems is a Swedish water filtration company offering automatic and manual filters for natural water sources. The product portfolio consists of three main filter categories: Single Basket Filters (BSP, BSS, BSG) for various capacity and material requirements, Multi-Basket Filters (BMG) for finer filtration at high flow rates, and Manual Filters (MSG, MSS) for bypass or guard applications. Additionally, the company offers a Centrifugal Separator product line (CXW, CPW, CXWV, CXWL) for particle separation without screen elements. All products utilize the Bernoulli Principle with a pneumatic disc cleaning system for contactless, automatic filter maintenance.

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Russell Finex: UK-based manufacturer of industrial sieves and filtration equipment for process industries. Comparable in being a privately held, niche industrial filtration specialist serving process manufacturers, though its focus is more on fine screening and vibratory separators than cooling-water self-cleaning filtration.

Direct peers

• Amiad Water Systems: Israel-based manufacturer of self-cleaning, automatic water filters and filtration systems for industrial, irrigation, and municipal applications. Closely comparable product family (automatic screen filters with self-cleaning capability), similar target customers, and overlapping applications in cooling water and water treatment.
• Boll & Kirch Filterbau: German manufacturer of automatic, self-cleaning filters and filtration systems for industrial water, cooling water, and process applications. Directly comparable in offering automatic filters for power plants, cooling circuits, and industrial water treatment, with a similar German/European engineering heritage.
• HYDAC Filtration: German industrial filtration and hydraulics company producing automatic and process filters for cooling water, water treatment, and industrial process applications. Comparable in serving industrial cooling and water-treatment end markets with engineered filtration products.

Broad incumbents

• Donaldson Company: US-based global manufacturer of filtration systems across industrial, engine, and liquid filtration. Comparable in industrial liquid filtration for process water and cooling water applications, though Donaldson operates as a broad multi-segment incumbent rather than a Bernoulli-principle specialist.
• Pentair: Global water solutions company offering commercial and industrial water filtration, treatment, and flow products. Overlaps with Bernoulli in industrial cooling and water treatment applications but at a much larger scale and broader product portfolio.
• Veolia Water Technologies: Global water-treatment solutions provider (part of Veolia) supplying filtration, cooling water, and process water systems to industrial customers. Comparable end customers and applications (cooling towers, industrial water reuse), though Veolia is a much broader water-services and systems incumbent.
• Alfa Laval: Global Swedish industrial equipment company with a broad separation and fluid handling portfolio including separators, decanters, and filtration equipment for industrial water, power, and process applications. Overlaps with Bernoulli in centrifugal separation and industrial cooling/water treatment, but as part of a much wider portfolio.
• Eaton Filtration: US-based industrial conglomerate with a substantial filtration division offering automatic self-cleaning filters and strainers for industrial water, cooling water, and process applications. Directly competes with Bernoulli in power-plant and industrial cooling filtration as part of a broader electrical and industrial portfolio.
• Andritz Separation: Austrian-headquartered global supplier of separation equipment (centrifuges, filters, screens) for industrial and environmental applications, including cooling water and process water treatment. Comparable technology category (centrifugal separation and screening) serving overlapping industrial customers.
