Thermoplastic Linings for Industrial Basket Strainers

Industrial basket strainers — which are used in heavy industrial applications such as mining operations, power generation facilities, and chemical and metal refineries — are subjected to some of the harshest working conditions. The fluids that pass through industrial strainers are some of the most corrosive liquids out there, such as seawater, pickle solutions, scrubbers, and various chemicals. This means they have to be built tough to resist their environments and remain operational. Read more...

Chosing the Right Industrial Strainers for Wet Scubber Systems

If you’re using a wet scrubber for air pollution control, you know how they work: They capture flue gas particulate matter in liquid, dissolve it, and then separate it from the capturing liquid, recirculating treated liquid for future efforts. This process inevitably involves pumps, which need to be protected from the abrasive, erosive particulate matter that wet scrubbers capture, transport, and separate. Industrial strainers are placed upstream from pumps in wet scrubber systems to protect them from particulate matter as well as unanticipated materials that might wreck machinery — such as wrenches, nuts, and bolts accidentally dropped during maintenance.

How Basket Strainers Protect Pool Recirculation Systems

Pool recirculation suction systems are important parts of any commercial pool installation. They remove debris and impurities from the pool water and keep it moving. If set up and maintained properly, a pool recirculation system will guarantee a clean pool and happy swimmers. While regular maintenance is crucial to maintaining your pool recirculation suction system, selecting the right equipment is also important for ensuring that your system works correctly and remains fully functional.

Fluidtrol SSX Series Strainers

Fluidtrol is periodically asked for strainers for more controlled environments. While we have designed all of our strainers using the design philosophy laid out in the Recommended Design Equations for ASME BPVC X, there are areas where those standard equations fall short.  These areas include nozzle loads, large port to shell ratios, shear bonding of fiberglass to fiberglass joints, and super imposing external loads with pressure loads.
