Abstract

Water pollution is a major problem in today's world. Various industries dump their wastewater into rivers, lakes, and estuaries without proper and adequate treatment so they still contain high pollutants. All of these pollutants have caused an imbalance in water conditions and quality, thus endangering the survival of aquatic creatures, the environment, and humans. This study aims to examine one of the technologies designed to help overcome the problem of water pollution, namely a self-cleaning type of water strainer. A self-cleaning type of water strainer is a filtering device that can help remove particulates in a flowing fluid. The water strainer will collect dirt and debris without significantly hampering the performance of the flow system. The design designed and analyzed is a self-cleaning type water strainer with a DC motor as the blade drive. The components that make up the water strainer in this design include the body, cover, motor, exhaust valve, blade, and wire mesh. Design analysis using the finite element method (FEM) and ANSYS to determine the flow velocity out of the water strainer outlet. Based on the value of the discharge that enters through the specified inlet of 100 m3/hour, the velocity of water leaving the outlet of the water strainers is 5.51605 m/s.
