The fluids that flow through pipelines are not free of foreign particles. The nature of these particles can cause a bunch of problems within the system if they are not handled properly.

Whether it is oil and gas, petrochemical or water industries, the impurities, debris or any foreign particles in the fluid flow must be removed before they reach the main operational area.

In industrial systems, filters are essential components for removing contaminants, pollutants and unwanted foreign particles from the flow. By removing these contaminants, filters help prevent equipment waste, improve efficiency and ensure the production of products in various industries, such as oil, gas, petrochemicals and water treatment plants works well.

Here’s when the role of strainers comes into play. We at Dutco Tennant LLC bring in the best strainer technology innovations that are designed to deliver top-notch performance. We will be featuring some of the products at this year’s ADIPEC 2024 Exhibition alongside our partner LSI-MECH Engineers. Let’s take a close look at their innovations.

 

 

Basket Strainers

 

When there is need for fluid flow or process flow to be shut for a short period then Basket Strainers are used. It is also referred to as Bucket type strainer or Pot strainer based on its size and industry they are designed for.

The manufacturing method of LSI-MECH Basket Strainers are fabricated, cast or forged according to customer’s request. They have their in-house painting and packing facilities to carry out the finishing process before the products are shipped.

What makes LSI-MECH offered basket strainer advancements stand out is their high flow rate handling capacity and ease of maintenance. The efficient designs are capable of working as single, dual and even multi-stage filters. Best of all, they come in low cost without compromising on their reliability.

 

Duplex Strainers

 

Some process and flow systems have a demand that requires consistent operations with no scope of shut down. In such applications, duplex strainers fit perfectly where they can function continuously while enabling them to filter larger amounts of media.

 

The key features of LSI-MECH duplex strainers are:

  • Cleaning without shutdown time 
  • Dimensional flexibility (overall length)
  • Both inline and offline construction available
  • Customised design
  • Can provide linings, cladding if required

 

Similar to other products, the duplex strainer technology by LSI-MECH is fabricated as per customer requirements with in-house packing/painting facilities.

 

T-Type Strainers

 

As the name itself suggests, this strainer innovation is in ‘T’ shape. They are normally compact in their size and shape. Also referred to as Bath Tub Type Strainer, their usage is widely seen in refineries and petrochemical application areas.

The LSI-MECH T-Type Strainers are best suited for coarse filtration. Customers can make the strainers fitted as per their specific system as the product comes in customisable design.

Adding to the list of T strainer improvements is their flexible construction which makes them ideal for use in a wide application area.

 

Y-Type Strainers

 

The perforated mesh and wired mesh straining element works in the Y-Type strainers for removing solids mechanically from the fluid. They are known to protect various components within a pipeline such as pumps, metres, control valves, etc.

The LSI-Mech Y-Type Strainers are efficiently designed for low cost. They have a compact, end-to-end dimension making them an easy installation. These strainers are also made suitable for vertical or horizontal mounting.
