Petro-Chemical

Fouling of pipes and heat exchanging surfaces lowers the thermal efficiency of the system, which increases the friction losses, induces erosion, corrosion, and energy waste while increasing the demand for a higher flow rate.

• Problems include plugging of spray nozzles, blinding of sensors, analyzers, wearing down of pump gland seals, scrubbers, misters, membranes, and ion exchanger columns.
• Causes unscheduled shutdowns for maintenance and cleaning, and the loss of operating efficiency.

Rain Bird self-cleaning water filters provide the ultimate solution where Petro-Chem water is a problem:

• The filters operate on line pressure alone.
• The self-cleaning process is triggered by a pressure differential and is accomplished in seconds without interrupting the main flow.
• The filters are compact in size.
• ASME code stamp vessels are also available as an option.
