Self-Cleaning Strainer at Ain Dar SRF Plant — Saudi Aramco
Ain Dar Plant is an essential operational facility supporting industrial and oilfield activities in the Ain Dar area. The plant provides critical services, utilities, and processing capabilities that ensure continuous and reliable operations for the surrounding infrastructure.
The sea water prefiltration system for the Sulfate Removal Plant in Ain Dar comprises a basket strainer (100-micron), pre-guard (10-micron), and guard (5-micron) cartridge filters (CF); however, the system experiences high frequency of CF replacement.
IE-Consult reviewed quality issues, proposed the pre-filtration solution, and designed the SCS and CF modification.
