Media retention nozzles are designed with a wedge wire screen. Vee wire is welded around a support rod to create a uniform slot for maximum open-area flow.
Our wedge wire filter nozzles are typically installed at the bottom of a tank or vessel for media retention. The filter nozzles are custom designed with an orifice plate, and can be customized with screen diameter, connection method, slot size, etc.
The media retention nozzles are designed to retain media such as sand, resin, and gravel while allowing the fluid to pass through. They ensure the filtration media remains in place, preventing it from being flushed out during operation, which could lead to inefficiencies and contamination.
The design of the wedge wire screen type media retention nozzle offers several advantages, including:
▪ High filtration efficiency: The wedge wire screen provides a high-degree of filtration efficiency, allowing for precise control over the size of particles that pass through the nozzle.
▪ Low pressure drop: The unique design of the nozzle minimizes pressure drop, reducing the energy required to operate the filtration system.
▪ Easy maintenance: The wedge wire nozzle is designed for easy maintenance, with a simple and efficient cleaning process.
Applications of Media Retention Nozzles
The nozzles are used in filtration systems for many water and wastewater treatment applications, such as ion exchangers, sand filters, media filters, etc.
