Fluid Engineering Product Update – for Oil & Gas Midstream Service!

(courtesy of Fluid Engineering Filtration News, Spring/Summer 2014 Volume 3, Issue 4)

It has been brought to our attention that there is a growing need for inline duplex strainers for the

mid-stream pipeline market, that is being forecasted to be installed across the USA and Canada.

Construction is scheduled to start in 2014 and continue through 2020, at least.

Fluid EngineeringðÌð•s Model 534 and 545 have been very popular for this application.

We always pay attention to the feedback we get from customers and representatives: when we got

feedback that the Model 534 would be easier to pipe if it was inline (particularly on models larger than

four (4ðÌð“) inch), Fluid Engineering added the model 545 inline duplex strainer to its product offering

(2ðÌð“ thru 12ðÌð“ sizes, ANSI 150# ratings and higher pressures on application) to improve liquid flow and save

money in the piping process.

But weðÌð•re not done yet! ItðÌð•s so new we donðÌð•t even have a drawing for it!

The applications for the new Model 547 will be:

1. Meter and Pump protection and 2. Loading and unloading applications.

Preliminary information indicates a need for pipelines sizes of; 4ðÌð“, 6ðÌð“, 8ðÌð“, 10ðÌð“ and 12ðÌð“ and will be in

the 300# ANSI Flange Ratings, therefore the Model 547 will be designed for 500 psig @ 150 degrees

F, all in accordance with ASME Code Section VIII Division 1. This model will be designed using the

Posi-Sealoc IIðåð¬ closure (Same as the model 120 Simplex) and using the new inline pipeline

configuration used on the Model 545 (Patent Pending). The baskets for the new model will all be

designed using a Stainless Steel Encapsulated Magnets to remove any iron particles found in the

liquid stream. Fluid Engineering will have the ability to build larger units and higher ratings as

specified. Contact us for more information!

New ND50 Model and ECO-AXS Released by GEA PHE Systems!

About the ND50-

Double wall heat exchangers are an excellent solution for ensuring critical medias do not cross leak inside the exchanger. The double wall exchanger adds a physical lead path between the media to remove the potential for mixing. While a similar effect can be achieved by controlling the pressure in individual lines, differential pressure can only control which media leaks into the other. Select an ND series for applications demanding higher levels of safety against cross contamination. Some example applications are potable water systems, engine cooling systems and critical machinery cooling.

GEA Heat Exchangers is proud to release the ND50 series to complement the existing ND100. A large portion of the double wall market is residential potable water systems and small engine lubricant cooling. The ND50 can give you a double wall solution with a lower initial investment cost that is better suited for smaller applications. The ND50 boasts all the benefits of the NT series and gives significant advantages over other technologies.

About the ECO-AXS-

GEA Heat Exchangers recently introduced the new ECO-AXS, easy close frame at the Pack Expo in Chicago, IL. The introduction of this frame now allows GEA to meet the needs of customers who require a quicker and easier method of opening and closing their frames with the ability to move the loose plate at up to 7 inches per minute at the touch of a button.

The ECO-AXS frame is comprised of 4 tie rods that rotate in an ACME follower nut to pull the moveable end plate to the proper position. Three frame types ðÌð Automatic, Internally Powered and Externally Powered are available to meet all levels of required automation.

ECO-AXS ðÌð Your access to convenience, reliability, efficiency and profitability. Contact us for more information.
