Underdrain and Distribution Systems

⚙️ Principle of Operation

Water is distributed evenly through the system and passes through the filter media.

Treated water is collected through underdrain elements, while backwashing ensures uniform reverse flow distribution.

⚙️ Design and Applications

Systems are installed in the upper or lower parts of filters and can have different designs:

• radial (“spider”) systems
• collector systems
• false bottom systems
• nozzle-cap systems

Applications: • mechanical filters
• sorption filters
• ion exchange systems
• water and wastewater treatment systems

🧱 Materials and Design

Systems are made of corrosion-resistant materials:

• stainless steel
• polymer materials
• composite structures

Materials are selected according to operating conditions and water parameters.

📊 Technical Specifications

Main parameters depend on filter type and operating conditions.

Key characteristics: • flow capacity — project-specific
• distribution uniformity
• mechanical strength
• compatibility with filter media
