Since 1986, Fluid Engineering’s mission remains unchanged – To provide customers with rugged, well-designed equipment that outperforms the competition, even in the most demanding applications. Headquartered in Erie, Pennsylvania, our Management, Sales, Engineering, and Production Teams are all located at the same facility. We are proud to say that our products are made in the USA!
The Eliminator® & Hyper-Jet® patented automatic self-cleaning pipeline strainers provide continuous debris removal from fluid piping systems that demand full time uninterrupted flow.
The Eliminator® Automatic Self-Cleaning Pipeline Strainer is a patented and proven filtration solution. It is particularly effective in fluid applications where unattended service and uninterrupted flow are required. Solids are captured in the strainer screen and are removed when the strainer backwashes. Downstream flow is not interrupted during the backwash cycle. The Eliminator® is effective in applications operating at as low as 10 PSIG, with some working in pipelines as low as 5 PSIG.
The Eliminator® is typically supplied with a basic control package. This package includes an electric motor, control panel, backwash control valve, and differential pressure switch. These controls can be customized to meet specific electrical and operational requirements of most applications.
The Hyper-Jet® adds internal spray nozzles fed by a high-pressure external source to aid in the backwash cleaning cycle. This feature is beneficial for difficult and demanding applications, as well as lower pressure applications where other self-cleaning strainers might not be as effective.
When designing strainer systems for use in a salt water environment, the life of the pumping systems and strainers will be greatly determined by the material used in its construction. The following table shows the comparative life of various materials used in salt water applications.
The life factors listed in the table are based on laboratory results and may not take into account other factors that may be contained in the water actually used in shipboard applications such as pollutants that may come from farmlands, landfills or other by-products that contain waste material.
Another factor is the amount of salt; not all salt-water is the same. There are regions that have much higher salt concentrations than in others. For that reason, considering the environment that the unit will be operating in is crucial when designing these systems to get the optimal life from the strainers.
