Passive Intake Screen for Efficient and Sustainable Water Capture

 Passive intake screens offer an advanced filtration solution for capturing water from rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and seas while maintaining minimal visual impact. Designed with a submergible static filter, these intake screens are constructed from durable stainless steel, featuring a smooth surface composed of V-shaped profiles. With no moving parts and a low suction velocity, they require only a small inlet diameter, making them an efficient, low-maintenance choice for various water intake systems.

Superior Protection for Industrial and Municipal Applications

As the first line of defense in water intake systems, passive intake screens safeguard municipal, industrial, irrigation, and hydropower facilities. These screens, using wedge wire construction, protect aquatic life, including fish, while preventing harmful debris from entering pumps and turbines. 

Intake Screening systems are essential for large-scale water use in facilities such as:

Fossil-fuel and nuclear power plants

Drinking water treatment facilities

Refineries and heavy industrial plants

Run-of-River Intake Systems: Minimal Environmental Impact

Run-of-river intake systems are an environmentally friendly method of water capture that requires little to no water storage. Commonly used in high-elevation areas, these systems offer lower civil installation costs while maintaining ecological balance. A passive run-of-river intake typically includes a small dam and head pond, ideally suited for Coanda screens, which enhance filtration efficiency with minimal maintenance.

Innovative Cylindrical Screens for High-Capacity Intakes

Submerged cylindrical intake screens are designed for large-capacity water capture. These passive screens distribute suction evenly across the screen surface, reducing clogging and minimizing environmental impact. With no moving parts underwater, they provide long-lasting, reliable service.

Application Highlights

Irrigation Diversion Systems

Water T-screens for large-scale irrigation diversions effectively manage high water volumes while ensuring fish safety and debris exclusion.

Power Plants

Custom slot-size drum screens provide efficient cooling water intake solutions, tailored to meet specific power plant requirements.

Hydropower Facilities

Slot V-wire T-screens offer durable, high-performance solutions for hydropower tunnel intakes, ensuring smooth operation and reduced maintenance.

Desalination Plants

Header and Hub-Lateral Systems by YUBO Filter

 For the treatment of process water such as in ' ion Exchange’ and in the process of removing organic matter, YUBO Filter offers products such as the Header and Hub-Lateral 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. The screen laterals (screen-based or screen + drilled pipe-based) are removable and can be designed with either a flange or threaded nipple connection.

Available as both Header Lateral and Hub Lateral assemblies, wedge wire screen laterals and pipe-based laterals can be connected to distributor headers and spider hubs using standard thread, fabricated flanges, and ANSI connections, and can be fully welded.

Connection orientation:

Suitable for side-mounted, top/bottom-mounted vessels, custom spool assemblies can be designed to fit specialized vessels/systems.

Multiple configurations

Filter solutions under-drain assemblies for sand filters, carbon filters, and ion exchange units are offered in multiple layouts and configurations. Laterals are available in all standard pipe and tube diameters for both Header Lateral and Hub Lateral type of assemblies.

Wedge wire Header Lateral and Hub Lateral assemblies For the most demanding applications: 

The combination of both wedge wire having its unique internal support rod structure and the ability to be constructed out of stainless steel or many exotic alloys, makes it an easy choice when designing an under-drain system. Incorporating these factors has resulted in a higher collapse strength allowing the design to handle most demanding load applications. 

Header-Lateral or Hub-Lateral Collectors/Distributors fabricated with wedge wire have been seen as a superior option for retaining media in vessels of all types.

The main reason is that wedge wire offers a continuous slot, more open area, precision slots offered and stronger, more durable, reduction in clogging and reduce media abrasion. 

V wire Laterals allow uniform collection of feed water due to the much larger area provided for collection. Fine Slots on the Lateral substantially reduce the need for under-bed support media.

Headers

Headers and Laterals are available in all types of standard and nonstandard pipe/tube sizes adapting to new and current systems.

Spools

Wedge wire screen has long been considered the most effective media for uses in underdrains/ion exchange systems due to wedge wire having an inherent even pattern of open area that allows for accurate flow distribution.

Standalone Hub

Each system is designed specifically for your application which serves both as a collector of down-coming service flow and a distributor of incoming backwash water.

Hub & pipe base laterals

Laterals can be connected to distributor and drain headers by fabricated custom bolt patterns, standard NPT thread, flanged, ANSI connections or welded as one assembly.

Hub & Screen laterals

Each system is designed specifically for your application which serves both as a collector of down-coming service flow and a distributor of incoming backwash water. 

Pipe base laterals

Laterals can be connected to distributor and drain headers by fabricated custom bolt patterns, standard NPT threaded flanged, ANSI connections or welded as one assembly. 

Screen laterals

Laterals can be connected to distributor and drain headers by fabricated custom bolt patterns, standard NPT threaded flanged, ANSI connections or welded as one assembly. 

Pipe lateral

Laterals can be connected to distributor and drain headers by fabricated custom bolt patterns, standard NPT threaded flanged, ANSI connections or welded as one assembly. 

Each of our Header and Hub-Lateral Systems are carefully designed from your specified design conditions that includes the vessel inside diameter, volumetric flow rate, allowable pressure drop through the screen, resin/media to be retained and minimum open area to list. Therefore it is very important to work closely with YUBO Filter during the design and engineering stage to ensure that all screen characteristics are accommodated for.
