Power Industry Automated Scraper Strainers Filter Full Spectrum of Debris Sizes

The power generation industry often prefilters raw water from rivers, lakes, gulfs, and coastlines to remove organic, aquatic, and other solids for use as cooling water. Typically, with once-through systems, water circulates through pipes, absorbing system heat before it is returned to its original source.

Because the cooling water originates from bodies of water, it can be dirty, with considerable debris, weeds, and trash. Strainers are required to remove the waste from the cooling water before it goes into heat exchangers and cooling systems, and to prevent spray nozzles from clogging.
