Support Grid

Wedge Wire Screen Support Grids for supporting media in vessels and tanks

Support Girds are each a custom-engineered design.

Support grids are a fundamental part of any reactor.

The Wedge Wire Support Grid performs two primary functions, support for both the dead load (weight of the bed) and the live load (pressure differential during operation) and combines the precise wire and slot spacing forming a screen that prevents losses of costly media.

Wedge Wire Support Grids: Reliable Media Retention for Process Vessels

Wedge Wire Support Grids are an essential component for reactors, sieves, and various media bed applications, where the vessel is filled with catalysts, sieve beads, or other media that must remain suspended above the bottom of the vessel.

These support grids serve two critical purposes: supporting both the static load (the weight of the media bed) and the dynamic load (pressure differentials during operation). In addition, the grids are designed to maintain the integrity of the media by preventing costly material loss through precise wire and slot spacing.

Due to the high cost and essential function of the media in many processes, having a well-designed Wedge Wire Support Grid is crucial for the overall performance and efficiency of the operation.

Key Features and Benefits:

Custom Engineered Design: Each Wedge Wire Support Grid is a tailor-made solution designed to meet the specific requirements of your application. This custom design ensures that the grids provide the correct support while allowing optimal flow through the system.

Superior Media Retention: The continuous slots of the Wedge Wire provide more open area compared to traditional wire mesh or perforated metal. This feature minimizes clogging and ensures excellent media retention, reducing the risk of material loss during operation.

Durability: Wedge Wire's consistent slot openings make the support grids highly durable, ensuring long-lasting performance even in harsh conditions. This reduces media abrasion and enhances the overall reliability of the system.

Pressure Drop Management: The design of the Wedge Wire Support Grid ensures the correct open area to meet pressure drop requirements. This means the system can maintain optimal flow and minimize the chances of pressure build-up or drop during operations.

Versatile Framing Options: Wedge Wire Support Grids are available in various framing options, including one-piece construction or modular multi-section designs. This versatility ensures that grids can fit through installation manways, accommodating a wide range of vessel sizes and configurations.

Wide Application Range: Wedge Wire Support Grids are ideal for a broad spectrum of process vessels, including reactor vessels, gas absorbers, carbon filters, desulfurizers, molecular sieves, sand filters, gas sweeteners, lauter tanks, media bed filters, and hydrocarbon vessels. They are highly effective in applications that require reliable media retention and minimal loss.
