Hub Lateral Systems for Vessel Filter

A hub lateral system for vessel filters features a central hub connected to multiple lateral filters, creating a radial flow pattern that maximizes filter surface area and minimizes pressure drops. 

Our hub lateral systems are typically positioned at the bottom or the top of a vessel filter. These systems are designed to distribute or collect the flow of liquid or gas evenly within the vessel, ensuring optimal contact with the filtration media.

The hub laterals are commonly used in sand filtration, activated carbon columns, and demineralized vessels up to 8′ diameter.

Key Components of Hub Lateral Systems

▪ Central Hub: The hub is the core component designed to withstand high-pressure and corrosive environments. It serves as the junction point for the laterals.
▪ Laterals: These are perforated pipes or wedge wire screens extending radially from the hub. The perforations or slots are engineered to specific dimensions to regulate flow and prevent clogging.
▪ End Caps and Connectors: These components secure the laterals to the hub and ensure a tight, leak-free connection.

We can custom-design various hub lateral systems for vessel filters. 
Our hub lateral systems consider the following factors when customizing to achieve optimal performance:
▪ Flow Rate and Distribution: The system must be designed to handle the required flow rate without causing excessive pressure drop. Uniform distribution is essential to maximize the filtration media's effectiveness.
▪ Material Selection: Depending on the application, materials must be chosen for their durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with the filtered substance.
▪ Perforation Size and Pattern: The size and pattern of perforations in the laterals are critical for preventing clogging and ensuring consistent flow.
▪ Installation and Maintenance: The system should be easy to install and maintain, with provisions for cleaning or replacing components.
