Wedge Wire Filter Distributor

UBO has a patented advanced wedge wire filter distributor design that allows for fractal control of fluid flow in a media.

Wedge wire filter distributor are fractal in that the residence time for a path through the upper header lateral and collector header lateral is the same for each exit/entrance pair in the system. It allows for a better use of the media and an increase in overall process efficiency.

Providing for equal contact time with media and resonance time in the system, these fractal laterals have an exit flow variation as low as three percent for the entire assembly.

Application of Wedge Wire Filter Distributor

Wedge wire filter distributor consist of a series of screen laterals connected to either a central-header pipe or a hub, they are important components of ion exchange units, media filters, sand filters, carbon strip vessels, carbon towers, clay filters and in many water and waster water treatment.
