Combined Corrosion Abrasion Glass Ceramic Strainer

Direct answer: Fluidtrol's Glass Ceramic Matrix Composite basket strainer is a seamless-cast fiberglass/ceramic/vinyl ester matrix explicitly engineered for fluid systems that are BOTH corrosive and abrasive simultaneously (seawater, scrubber discharge, and similar challenging systems) - a combined-hazard case that most single-purpose materials in this project's existing rules don't address (e.g. PVDF solves corrosion but not abrasion; hardened alloys solve abrasion but not broad chemical resistance). Custom-built to order (vertical or horizontal large basket strainer configurations), ASME Sec X / PS15-69 standard. Relevant to mining/mineral-processing brine slurries and marine/seawater scrubber applications where this project's existing abrasive-slurry guidance (mining-slurry-pump.md) doesn't fully address chemical corrosivity, or vice versa.

Confidence: single-vendor

This is a general engineering rule derived from real field/case-study evidence, not a substitute for a project-specific specification review — confirm against your exact process conditions before ordering equipment.

Applies when	seawater, abrasive slurry, scrubber, corrosive and abrasive, brine slurry, leach circuit, heap leach slurry, leach solution strainer
Avoid	standard alloy basket strainer, PVDF-only strainer, plastic-only strainer (Strainer)
