In virtually every chemical process, there is a need to divert process flow from one pipeline to another. 
This may be accomplished by the use of multiple valves or it may be done through the use of diverter valves 
specially designed for this purpose.
Process pumps are sometimes high maintenance items and are thus installed in parallel so that one may be serviced 
and/or repaired while the other carries the process load. With the use of a diverter valve, changing from one pump 
to another becomes an easy task with no process flow shutdown being necessary.
Disc Type

Disc type diverter valves are specially designed to divert one main flow into two separate flows. The valves are 
designed to minimize retention areas and are bi-directional. They are often used in full vacuum applications in 
combination with high temperatures.
Plunger Type

To divert high viscosity products, polymers and slurries, no-dead-space valves are mandatory. Full piston design 
avoids product build up and clogging of the valve. Strahman offers a full range of piston diverter valves specially 
designed for this purpose, these valves can be customized to match any piping layout.
