PARTS WEAR
A FLO-TK™ Flow Conditioner increases velocity and pressure while providing a uniform laminar flow at the elbow outlet and eliminates the flow separation, which produces damaging vibration & wear to pipes, seals, bearings and pumps. FLO-TK™ Flow Conditioner reduces parts wear and maintenance intervals.
​
Economic Benefits & Performance Improvements
-
Improved pump performance (increased efficiency & more work per unit of energy)
-
Improved process control and product assurance, improvements in process yields can generate several million dollars of profit improvement per year for large facilities.
-
Substantial reduction of maintenance expense (increased time between required major maintenance procedures) this can mean as much as $500,000 per year for a typical oil refinery.
-
Substantial reduction in unscheduled downtime due to maintenance, increasing the effective capacity and total yields from continuous operations.
-
Increased safety. Eliminates the cause of pipe system rupture and component stress.
-
Reduction of environmental hazards. Contamination due to unwanted release of chemicals into the ground or in the air is prevented by eliminating the major causes of such release: pipe erosion, bursting, component leakage arising from vibration and pulse stresses, spillage due to inaccurate metering.
FLUID HANDLING & FLOW INDUSTRY EXPERTS
The FLO-TK™ is a stationary solid construction Billet device (of proprietary design) strategically positioned upstream of an elbow or tee to attack the root of the problem by eliminating flow problems from happening. The FLO-TK™ Flow Conditioner is precision manufactured with an aerodynamic design to produce a rotation to cancel out secondary flows and prevent flow separation. Flow problems are prevented by the creation of a uniform laminar flow with increase in NPSH, flow rate, head, velocity, pressure, plant efficiency, industrial safety, parts life extension and reduced maintenance/wear.
