Strainer on cooling water
Strainer on cooling water
(OP)
Hello everybody,
In my refinery, because of lack of area, Basket filter at suction of cooling water booster pump was dismantled. In place of this T type strainer (30") with mesh size 7 mesh was put but it is getting frequently plugged(every 4-5 hrs).Cooling water source is from sea water channel.
Pump flow rate (rated) is 5150 m3/hr
Currently we are operating with a 2.5 mesh screen.It seems that my 30" strainer is undersized. Please help me in deciding the suitable size of strainer required to overcome the problem.
Thanks all in advance

We use self cleaning filers from both Orival and Tekleen. Check you system out and see if you can get by with a filter made for irrigation systems.
