Header-Lateral System

For the treatment of process water such as in ‘Ion Exchange’ and in the process of removing organic matter, Completion Products offers products such as the Header-Laterals Systems to uniformly collect and distribute process flow. Sizing of both the main header pipe and the screen laterals are based on recommended through-pipe and slot opening velocities to ensure higher efficiency and lower pressure drop. Sizing of the slot size is also critical to ensure that there is no resin/media leakage. The screen laterals (screen-based or screen + drilled pipe-base) are removable and can be designed with either a flange or threaded nipple connection.

 

Each of our Header-Lateral Systems are carefully designed from the specified design conditions including the volumetric flow rate, allowable pressure drop through the screen, resin/media to be retained and minimum open area to list a few. Therefore it is very important to work closely with Completion Products during the design and engineering stage to ensure that all screen characteristics are accommodated.
