Warning: A clogged suction line on the 'Mississippi Queen' took us 14 hours to clear because we didn't check the trash rack upstream.

Has anyone else had a simple oversight turn into a full shift nightmare, and what's your go-to method for checking intake flow now?

Yeah, that "trash rack upstream" is a classic weak spot. I read a case study where a plant added a simple pressure sensor before the rack, like river182 hinted at with a camera. It gives you an early heads-up before things get bad.

Trash rack upstream" - you guys have a camera on it now?

Saw a video where a crew just ties a plastic bag to the rack. If it stops moving, you know the flow is blocked.
