A single-chamber strainer forces a flow interruption every time the basket needs cleaning. Fluidtrol's duplex configuration — available across its strainer lines, rated for 6 fps of the corresponding line size — isolates one chamber at a time so a wastewater line doesn't have to go offline for routine maintenance.
A wastewater strainer that has to be pulled offline for cleaning is a design compromise, not a fact of the process — duplex, continuous-operation configurations exist precisely so a treatment plant doesn't have to choose between clean flow and constant flow.
