Why Automatic Self-Cleaning Scraper Strainers are better than Backwash Strainers for River Water Intake Systems???
Many Industries like power generating plants, food processing plants, steel plants, and other manufacturing sectors pre-filter raw water from rivers, lakes etc and remove the organic, aquatic and other solids from it and use it as cooling water for various processes.
Because of the source, the intake water could have large amount of dirt, fibres, weeds, trash etc. So Filters/Strainers are employed to remove all this from the cooling water before it goes into cooling systems, heat exchangers and prevent spray nozzles from cooling.
Insufficient removal of both large solids and small particulate (i.e.-debris, dirt, and other suspended solids) as well as biofouling (i.e.-organic matter) from the water can cause serious problems. Plugging and fouling can cause unscheduled downtime, excessive maintenance, and costly, premature replacement.
HeroFilters Automatic, Self-Cleaning scraper strainers can handle both i.e filter the smallest particles to the largest debris, and resist clogging and fouling from micron-sized particles, oversized solids, and high solids concentration.
Unlike backwash systems, scraper strainers reliably resist clogging and fouling when faced with micron-sized particles, oversized solids, and high solids concentration and they can Filter Smallest Particles to Largest Debris
While backwash strainers are often used in these circumstances, backwashing is not ideal for removing large solids from the screen elements. The problem is that the backwash arm must be quite close to the screen to function properly, and that prevents the passing of larger particles.
The automatic scraper strainer from HeroFilters Manufacturing Company – India is a motorized unit designed to continually remove both very large and very small suspended solids from cooling water. Cleaning is accomplished by a spring-loaded blade and brush system, managed by a fully automatic control system.
