Wedge Wire Header Lateral Distributor Assembly - An Efficient Method for Fluid and Gases Distribution and Collection Evenly in Vessel Internal
A wedge wire header lateral distributor is a stainless steel assembly for optimal fluid flow within a filtration vessel. It consists of multiple wedge wire laterals connected to a central header or manifold, ensuring uniform distribution or collection of liquids and gases.
This wedge wire assembly system is widely utilized in industrial applications due to its durability, efficiency, and adaptability, such as water treatment, ion exchange systems, and chemical processing.
The wedge wire header lateral assembly features a V-shaped profile wire, which minimizes clogging and opens the area for fluid flow. This unique design ensures consistent performance and reduces maintenance needs.
Installation location:
Wedge wire lateral assemblies are available for side-mounted, top/bottom mounted vessels and can be designed to fit dedicated vessels/systems.
Connections Types:
Standard NPT thread, fabricated flanges, and ANSI connections, as well as fully welded assemblies.
Applications of Wedge Wire Header Lateral Distributors
▪ Water Treatment PlantsWastewater Treatment: Installed in the tank or vessel of the water treatment system to accurately distribute and collect flow.
▪ Ion Exchange Systems: The header lateral for ion exchange systems ensures even distribution of the ion exchange media, enhancing the efficiency of chemical reactions.
▪ Chemical Processing: In reactor vessels, the wedge wire header assembly provides reliable support for filtration media, ensuring uniform flow and high productivity.
▪ Underground drainage system
Benefits of Wedge Wire Header Lateral Assemblies in Vessel Internals
1. Durability and Corrosion Resistance
High-grade stainless steel lateral assemblies offer exceptional resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for harsh environments.
2. Efficient Fluid Distribution
Wedge wire design increases the open area for better collection.
3. Customizable Designs
These systems can be customized to fit specific vessel dimensions, flow rates, and process requirements. Options like radial header lateral distributors and multiport header lateral systems are available to meet unique operational needs.
4. Low Maintenance
The V-shaped wire profile prevents clogging and simplifies cleaning, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. This design feature is especially beneficial in applications such as industrial water treatment vessel distributors.
