Wedge Wire Lateral Assemblies for Tank Draining Filtering

Wedge wire screen lateral assemblies are essential components of vessel internals. They consist of a hub steel pipe outfitted with screen laterals designed to efficiently collect or distribute liquids and gases while preventing unwanted media from escaping.

Often referred to as under-draining filters, water distributors, or medium collectors, these assemblies can be tailored to specific vessel or filter sizes, flange dimensions, flow rates, and medium particle sizes.

Customizable Designs

We offer custom designs for wedge wire screen lateral assemblies to accommodate various requirements. The central structure of these assemblies can be configured into several shapes, including radial, fishbone, or T-type designs. Both the size of the lateral branch pipes and the main hub pipe can be manufactured to meet customer specifications.

Applications

Wedge wire screen lateral assemblies are widely utilized in various applications, including:

--Ion exchange processes

--Clay and sand filtration

--Carbon towers

--Power plant water systems

--Cation and mixed bed exchangers

The high strength and filtration efficiency of wedge wire lateral assemblies make them an exceptional choice for under-draining filtration needs.

Types of Assemblies

We provide a range of screen laterals and hub/header lateral assemblies to meet diverse needs. Our offerings include:

Screen Laterals: The key components of wedge wire screen assemblies, connected through hubs or headers using threaded or flange connections. They are primarily constructed from wedge wire screen tubes, and can also include perforated steel tubes for added functionality. Various designs allow these laterals to be adapted for different tank applications.

Threaded-end wedge wire screen laterals

Flange-connected wedge wire screen laterals

Threaded-end wedge wire screen laterals with perforated metal tubes

Flange-connected wedge wire screen laterals with perforated metal tubes

Hub and Header Lateral Assemblies: These are categorized based on their location and function within the tank.

Hub Lateral Assembly: Positioned at the top or bottom of the tank, it primarily distributes and collects liquids at the equipment outlet.

Header Lateral Assembly: Located in the middle section, it ensures even distribution and discharge of liquids while preventing media from escaping.

We can create hub and header assemblies in various shapes, such as radial and fish spike types, and can adjust main pipe diameters and lateral quantities to align with customer requirements.

Quality Control

Our commitment to quality control ensures that every product meets the highest standards. Our rigorous quality assurance process includes:

Pre-installation inspections of the wedge wire lateral assembly hub

Height measurements of the assemblies

Length measurements of the tubes within the assemblies

This meticulous attention to detail guarantees that you receive a reliable product tailored to your specific needs.
