Hub and Header Lateral for Drainage Systems
Hub and Header Lateral for Drainage Systems
Blog Article
Drainage systems are critical in various industrial applications from water treatment plants to chemical processing facilities. These systems' essential components are the hub and header lateral ensuring efficient flow and distribution of liquids through filtration systems.
Hub and header lateral systems are components of integral underdrain systems used in filtration applications. They consist of a central hub or header, connected to a series of lateral pipes (laterals) that extend outwards. These laterals typically have small slots or holes that allow for the uniform distribution or collection of fluids.
Components of Hub and Header Lateral
▪ Hub/Header: The central distribution or collection point.
▪ Laterals: Perforated or wedge wire pipes that extend from the hub/header to cover a broader area, ensuring even flow distribution.
How Do Hub and Header Lateral Systems Work?
The primary function of these systems is to provide uniform flow distribution across a filtration bed. The hub or header acts as the main conduit for the fluid, which then travels through the laterals.
The perforations/slots in the laterals allow the fluid to be evenly distributed or collected, depending on whether the system is used for distribution or drainage.
Applications of Hub and Header Lateral
▪ Designed as collectors and distributors in larger vessels.
▪ Optimum systems where mid-bed or regenerant processes are employed.
▪ Units are custom-designed for either side or center vessel configuration.
Key Advantages of Hub and Header Lateral
▪ Uniform Distribution
Ensures even flow across the filtration medium, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the filtration process.
▪ Versatility
Can be used in various applications, including water treatment, chemical processing, and food and beverage industries.
▪ Durability
These systems are made from robust materials like stainless steel 304, 316, and 904. They are designed to withstand harsh operating conditions.
▪ Ease of Installation
Modular design allows for easy assembly and maintenance.
We can design and offer various hub and header laterals for drainage systems. They provide uniform distribution and efficient flow.
