Wedge Wire Hub and Header Laterals

JX Filtration April 22, 2024 Wedge Wire Screen

Wedge wire hub and header laterals are components used in various filtration and separation processes, particularly in water treatment systems.

Wedge Wire Hub: This refers to a central hub constructed using wedge wire technology. Wedge wire is a type of screen characterized by a series of triangular-shaped wires positioned perpendicular to the flow. The wedge wire hub serves as a central distribution point for fluid flow in filtration systems. It ensures even distribution of fluids across the filtration media, maximizing efficiency and effectiveness.
Header Laterals: Header laterals are pipe assemblies installed within filtration vessels or tanks. They are typically connected to the wedge wire hub and serve as the outlets for filtered fluids. Header laterals are designed with precision to ensure uniform flow distribution across the filtration media. They play a crucial role in maintaining consistent filtration performance and preventing channeling or uneven flow patterns within the filtration system.

In summary, wedge wire hub and header laterals are integral components in filtration systems, contributing to efficient fluid distribution and optimal filtration performance.
