Header and Lateral Systems

Multitech Header and Lateral Systems use precision-engineered wedge wire elements to ensure even flow distribution, prevent channeling, and maintain media stability. The system typically includes a central header (or hub) connected to multiple lateral arms, each fitted with wedge wire nozzles or slotted screens, designed to handle specific flow capacities and filtration loads.
Header and Lateral Systems

Model

Multitech Wedge Wire Header-Lateral Systems
  • Configurations: Hub & lateral, header & lateral, and central pipe distribution
  • Available as screen laterals, pipe-based laterals, or a combination of both
  • Materials: Stainless steel (SS 304, SS 316, SS 316L) and other alloys upon request
  • Slot sizes: 0.05 mm to 2 mm, customized based on flow and filtration needs
  • Connection types: Threaded, flanged, or welded assemblies
  • Diameter and layout are custom-designed to fit vessel size and performance criteria

Use

Header and lateral systems are used to distribute or collect flow uniformly in media-based filtration and separation vessels. They are ideal for applications involving:
- Downflow and upflow filtration
- Ion exchange systems
- Media retention and regeneration
- Underdrain systems for filter beds
- Resin bed support and scouring processes
These systems are critical in optimizing flow balance, hydraulic performance, and media integrity across a variety of industries.

Description

The non-clogging V-wire profile ensures consistent performance and reduces maintenance frequency, while the modular design enables easy assembly, disassembly, and retrofitting.

Each system is designed in-house to meet unique client requirements, ensuring optimal flow distribution, structural durability, and long service life, even under harsh operating conditions.

Key Advantages

  • Uniform flow distribution and collection
  • High mechanical strength, even under backwash and pressurized conditions
  • Custom-engineered layouts to suit vessel geometry
  • Corrosion-resistant construction using premium-grade stainless steels
  • Non-clogging design for uninterrupted operations
  • Easy integration, minimal maintenance
