Temporary Cone Strainers for Commissioning and Start-Up

Monarch designs and manufactures Temporary Cone Strainers in Australia for commissioning, start-up, shutdown, and maintenance applications where critical equipment must be protected from debris in new or modified pipework.

During commissioning and start-up, pipelines commonly contain weld slag, rust, scale, gasket material, construction debris, and other foreign solids. If not removed before the system is placed into service, these materials can damage pumps, control valves, flow meters, spray nozzles, heat exchangers, and other sensitive equipment. Temporary cone strainers provide a practical and effective method of capturing this debris before it reaches downstream plant.

Temporary cone strainers are typically installed between flanges and are designed to suit the line size, flange standard, flow rate, and expected debris load of the application. They are widely used in oil and gas, water treatment, chemical processing, power generation, general industrial plants, and other systems where plant protection during commissioning is critical.

Monarch manufactures temporary cone strainers to suit a wide range of applications, including:

• pump protection during start-up
• equipment protection after maintenance or shutdown works
• pipeline commissioning and flushing operations
• temporary filtration during hydrotesting and system cleaning
• protection of valves, meters, nozzles, and exchangers from construction debris

Our temporary cone strainers can be supplied in a range of materials, perforation patterns, mesh linings, and reinforcement configurations to suit the duty. Designs can be tailored to suit required open area ratio, pressure drop considerations, and plant operating requirements. Depending on the application, strainers may be manufactured in stainless steel, carbon steel, or other suitable materials.

As Monarch designs and manufactures in Australia, we can provide local engineering support and custom manufacture to suit project requirements. This is particularly valuable where customers require a non-standard size, urgent replacement, or a strainer designed to match specific plant conditions.

Whether required for a new project, commissioning program, plant shutdown, or maintenance work, Monarch temporary cone strainers provide dependable protection for valuable plant equipment and help reduce the risk of costly start-up damage.
