• Automatic self-cleaning strainers are used to strain fresh,
brackish, or salt intake water for plant services such as
cooling, process, and fire protection. The strainers allow
water to be recycled within the plant, reducing costs.
• Process Industry—Protect heat exchangers, pumps, valves,
and spray nozzles.
• Power Industry—Pump seal protection and cooling water.
• Pulp and Paper Industry—Remove and separate bark and
chips for recycling and prevent clogging of nozzles.
• Sewage and Water Treatment Plants—Strain secondary efflu-
ent prior to discharge and provide clean plant service water.
• Primary Metal Industry—Provide clean water for
quenching, descaling, and blast furnace cooling.
