Hub and header laterals are essential components in industrial filtration and water treatment systems, designed to provide uniform liquid distribution and reliable media support inside tanks and vessels. Their precise design ensures efficient filtration, improved backwash performance, and extended media life, making them indispensable in industries such as water treatment, chemical processing, petrochemical, and industrial filtration.
Hub and header lateral systems are engineered for durability and high performance. Key features include:
Central Hub: Acts as the main collection or distribution point for incoming or outgoing fluids.
Header Pipe: Distributes flow evenly from the hub to multiple lateral outlets.
Lateral Arms: Slotted or perforated pipes that allow uniform fluid flow while supporting filter media.
Durable Materials: PVC, ABS, stainless steel, or corrosion-resistant alloys are used depending on operating conditions.
The precise slot design and robust construction ensure consistent liquid distribution and filtration efficiency under heavy-duty operating conditions.
Hub and header laterals are designed to:
Distribute Liquid Evenly – Ensures all parts of the media bed receive uniform flow for optimal filtration.
Support Media Retention – Slotted laterals prevent filter media from escaping while allowing liquid to pass.
Enable Efficient Backwash – Uniform reverse flow cleans the media thoroughly during maintenance cycles.
Prevent Channeling – Maximizes the utilization of the media bed, improving overall filtration performance.
Systems can be configured for vertical or horizontal vessels, depending on tank design and flow requirements.
Hub and header laterals are widely used in industries where efficient fluid distribution and filtration are critical:
Water Treatment Plants: Sand or multimedia filters for municipal and industrial water.
Chemical Processing: Uniform liquid flow through filter media in reactors or tanks.
Petrochemical and Oil Industries: Filtration of hydrocarbons, crude oil, or process water.
Industrial Filtration Systems: Supporting filter beds in large vessels or tanks to maintain flow consistency.
Uniform Flow Distribution – Prevents dead zones and ensures efficient filtration.
Durable and Corrosion-Resistant – Materials are chosen for chemical and industrial environments.
Enhanced Filtration Efficiency – Maintains media integrity and improves backwash cycles.
Customizable Designs – Configurable for vessel size, media type, and orientation.
Low Maintenance – Easy to inspect, clean, or replace without shutting down the entire system.
Hub & header laterals provide optimized liquid distribution and reliable media support for tanks and vessels in water treatment and industrial filtration systems. By ensuring uniform flow, supporting media retention, and enhancing backwash performance, these systems help operators achieve high-efficiency filtration, extended media life, and reduced maintenance costs. Properly designed and installed lateral systems are a key factor in achieving consistent and reliable industrial filtration performance.
