Header Lateral Screen Systems – Optimized Media Retention & Flow Control


Johnson screen header lateral systems are the ultimate solution for efficient media retention and uniform flow distribution. Engineered for adaptability, these header lateral assemblies excel across a broad spectrum of applications, ensuring precise liquid collection and distribution in vessels of varying sizes and configurations.


Connected to a central header pipe or hub, our header lateral screens are designed to deliver consistent performance in:

Side-, center-, top-, or bottom-inlet piping systems

Multi-directional flow handling (upflow, downflow, or counter-current)

Customizable layouts for diverse vessel shapes and dimensions

Johnson screen header lateral systems

Whether used as distributors or collectors, these systems ensure even flow distribution, preventing channeling and optimizing media contact time. 


A typical setup includes:

Top-mounted laterals for uniform influent distribution.

Bottom or side collection laterals for efficient effluent extraction.


Customizable for Precision Performance

Every system is tailor-made to meet specific operational demands, with adjustable parameters such as:


1. Lateral spacing & quantity for optimal flow coverage.

2. Slot sizes ranging from 0.05 mm (and up in 0.03 mm increments) for precise media retention.

3. Stainless steel (SS 304/316L) or exotic alloy construction for corrosion resistance and longevity.

Vessel Internals for Unmatched Durability

Our Vee Wire vessel internals are engineered to:

1. Minimize media loss & breakdown – Extending operational life.

2. Withstand high loads & pressure – Ensuring reliability in demanding conditions.

3. Improve backwash efficiency – Higher open area reduces pressure drop.

4. Reduce maintenance costs – Durable metal construction outperforms non-metallic alternatives.


Ideal for Critical Water Treatment Processes

From ion exchange and demineralization to softening and filtration, our systems are trusted in industries requiring:

Effective liquid distribution/collection

Secure media retention

Optimized backwash performance
