Polished Duplex Basket Strainer 2" to 48", Brand Name : FALCON

Falcon Duplex Basket Strainers: Zero-Downtime Filtration

Falcon is a premier manufacturer of high-performance Duplex Basket Strainers, designed specifically for critical systems that cannot be shut down for maintenance. Our duplex strainers feature two separate basket chambers connected by a diverted valve system, allowing one side to be cleaned while the other remains in full operation.

With Falcon’s expertise in advanced alloys, including Duplex Stainless Steel, Titanium, and Zirconium, our strainers provide the ultimate defense for pumps, nozzles, and heat exchangers in the world's most corrosive environments.

Design & Operation Excellence

Falcon Duplex Strainers are engineered for reliability and ease of use.

• Continuous Operation: The integrated changeover valve (plug or butterfly type) redirects flow seamlessly between chambers without interrupting the process.

• Pressure Balance: Designed with an equalization system to ensure smooth handle operation even under high-pressure conditions.

• Ergonomic Maintenance: Tool-free, quick-opening covers allow operators to access and clean the standby basket in minutes.

• Compact Footprint: Engineered to provide maximum filtration surface area while maintaining a space-efficient design for skid-mounted systems.

Unmatched Material Specialization

Falcon’s reputation is built on our ability to fabricate from the most challenging materials. We ensure your strainer is chemically compatible with your specific media:

• Duplex & Super Duplex SS: Offering superior strength and resistance to pitting and stress corrosion cracking—perfect for desalination and offshore use.

• Nickel Alloys (Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy): For high-temperature and high-concentration chemical processing.

• Titanium & Zirconium: Specifically utilized for aggressive mineral acids and bleaching agents where standard stainless steel fails.

• Cupro-Nickel: The industry standard for seawater handling and maritime cooling systems.

• Tantalum: For extreme-service acid applications requiring total corrosion immunity.

Industrial Applications

Falcon Duplex Strainers are the heartbeat of continuous-flow industries:

• Marine & Offshore: Constant filtration of seawater for cooling and fire-fighting systems.

• Oil & Gas Refineries: Protecting high-value catalysts and downstream equipment in continuous fuel processing.

• Chemical Plants: Handling aggressive acids and alkalis where system shutdown is hazardous or costly.

• Power Generation: Ensuring clean water flow to condensers and lubricating oil systems for turbines.

• Water Treatment: Efficient removal of debris in large-scale desalination and reverse osmosis plants.

Quality Assurance & Testing

At Falcon, quality is non-negotiable. Every Duplex Strainer undergoes a rigorous validation process:

• Hydrostatic Testing: Performed at 1.5x design pressure to ensure shell integrity.

• Positive Material Identification (PMI): 100% verification of alloy grades to ensure compliance with project specifications.

• Zero-Leak Changeover Test: Ensuring the diverter valve provides a bubble-tight seal between the active and standby chambers.

• NDE Inspection: Including Radiography (RT) and Dye Penetrant (PT) for all critical weld joints, especially in reactive metals like Titanium.
