Wedge wire collector/distributor systems are critical components in a wide array of water and wastewater treatment processes, including ion exchange units, media filters, sand filters, carbon vessels, and clay filters.

Collector/Distributor screens are vital in ensuring efficient media retention and uniform flow distribution within these systems.

Collector/Distributor screen systems generally consist of a network of wedge wire screen laterals connected to either a central hub or a header pipe. Their design allows for effective media retention, preventing loss during operation and backwashing, which is essential for optimal performance in various filtration and separation applications.

1. Hub Lateral Systems:Ideal for smaller diameter filters and vertical vessels, hub lateral systems feature screen laterals radiating from a central hub. These can be designed with multiple tiers for enhanced collection or distribution.

2. Header Lateral Systems:Designed for larger diameter filters, header lateral systems utilize a central header pipe with laterally connected wedge wire screens. They can be augmented with a perforated pipe distributor to improve backwash distribution and increase structural strength.

These cylinders can be configured for either radial flow (outside to inside) with wires running radially on the exterior, or axial flow (inside to outside) with wires positioned axially on the interior.
