Boiler Feed Water Recirculation System Basket Strainer

This unit is for a natural gas power plant. Several of the units are for the boiler feed water recirculation system to protect the pumps from being clogged by debris. The design is unique since cleaning is by auto backwash, allowing the startup crews to avoid having to open the strainers and clean the baskets as is normal for most installations. This is our third plant with this design, one that startup personnel like due to the reduction of maintenance time to continue to operate the commissioning sequences.  They provide a time savings and therefore a cost savings to the “Engineering, Procurement and Construction” (EPC) contractor.
