"Le matériel annexe est nettoyé par une mise en canard de l’installation."
could it be something like "dummy run"?

rotary lobe pump?
Once I hade to translate "pompe en canard" and ms Chapman gave me this answer and these are her references. See if this fits your context
Due to a number of carefully engineered features, the Megator Rotary Lobe Pump manages such a task whilst ensuring a low life cycle cost.
The gentle action of the two interacting rotors creates a fluid movement through the pump, with minimal damage to suspended particles. Various types of rotor materials can be used, combined with a wide range of materials for all other wetted parts, resistance to wear and corrosion are obtained.
The special design of the Megator Lobe pump allows dry running, as the standard mechanical/lip - seal system is constantly lubricated. The same lubrication acts as a seal detector, allowing the user to react swiftly in case of any leaks occurring.
Typical fluids handled with the Megator Lobe Pump are:
Sludge with high dry-matter content, mud slurries, chemicals, centrifuge feed fluid, meat offal, cement slurry, gypsum, sauces with vegetables, marmalade etc.

As you see, this pump allows dry running

: definitely looks like it's something to do with pumping "en canard" but I don't think it's referring to the actual pump

dipping
When talking about sugar lumps, anyway, it refers to dipping.
And in your context, you have "nettoyer."

connecting to a duct fan
possible typo?
canar = air conduit or tube, air duct, casing, tube, duct fan (Ernst French-English dictionary of industrial technology)

"canar" in mining terminology, see below: Industry and Engineering dictionary French-English - www.mijnwoordenboek.nl/EN/theme/MG/FR/EN/B/7
"canar d'aération"; they seem to have mixed up their English and French entries, but otherwise the site is useful. It's either "canard" or "canar" in French, but the result (in English) is the same. In other words, flushing the system out with air. HTH

Discussion
I don't think "false circulation" a.k.a. "in-pipe circulation" is the right expression in the pharmaceutical context.
If you're thinking that "falsehood" might be what "canard" meant, then I would suggest going with the "dummy circuit" idea that you had initially, as this would be understood by someone in a lab...
I think that the "splaying" idea could be relevant here as the splitting off of an accessory circuit / loop from the main unit, and then using this accessory line to run DI water into the main unit. <br/>
Could you just get away with saying that the system was "flushed" with DI water?
" Effectuer une circulation canard sur R3 ou R". This is part of the preproduction reactor inspection. It seems to fit with the discussion referenced above.

closed-loop circulation?
(although it's better in cognac)
and "plonger en/de canard"
