Hydraulic Solutions • Engineering Design Services • Manufacturing Excellence
Flow Optimizers specializes in producing inlet flow conditioning products, such as flow conditioners and flow straighteners including baskets, bellmouths, vaned tees, vaned crosses, suction cones, and spool assemblies. These products are designed for use in flow meter systems, various process applications, and pump systems.
Solutions for Optimal Flow
Standard Inlet Flow Conditioning Solutions
for Municipal Water and Wastewater Pumping
Flow Optimizer Basket
Flow Optimizer Vaned Spool
Flow Optimizer Floor Cone
Flow Optimizer Vaned Tee
Flow Optimizer Vaned Cross
Flow Optimizer Bellmouth
Flow Conditioning Bells mounts onto the suction of a submersible pump.
Flow Optimizer Handhole Clean-out
Flow Optimizer Handhole Clean-out w/Plug and Vanes
Custom made pipe spool with a handhole clean-out to allow you to lock-out/tag-out the pump, easily open the clamp, our contoured plug gives access to the suction of the clogged pump and helps to minimize disturbances as flow passes clean-out port.
Flow Optimizer Vaned Reducing Elbow
Reducing Elbows with a 2 diameter reduction have been proven to be the most effective way to condition the flow prior to the pumps suction.
What is Flow Conditioning?
The goal of Flow Conditioning is to achieve a predictable and desirable flow pattern in new or existing
piping that would otherwise be less than optimal.
When should you use Flow Conditioning?
Flow Conditioning is utilized when there is an absence of proper piping geometry, changes in pipe size,
or a flow direction that would cause instability, turbulence, and a non-repeatable flow profile.
What is a Flow Conditioner?
A Flow Conditioner is a device that uses straightening vanes, grids, or grates to help improve the flow
profiles in less than desirable upstream situations (i.e. Elbows, Tees, Pipe Reducers or Expanders, or less
than desired upstream pipe length) helping to reduce or eliminate swirl.
