APPLICATIONS
|
| DESIGN Assembly - The purpose of the top or bottom, distributor and collector assembly is to collect or distribute a uniform flow within the media or for intermediate collection or distribution in mixed-bed processes. Attention must be applied to the need for backwashing or regeneration. Designs include a hub with spokes or parallel laterals. Laterals - The smallest diameter is 21 mm and the finest slot is 30 microns. Each lateral consists of either a single wedgewire screen or screen jacket with an internal perforated pipe to control distribution and to add to mechanical strength where required. Materials - stainless steel 304, 316, 904, hastelloy C276, Inconel 600 and 800 series, titanium T40, Duplex and Superduplex alloys etc. |
