Petrochemical industries play an important role in the modern energy and chemical sectors. These industries involve complex processes of extracting, processing and separating raw materials from underground oil and gas and converting them into a variety of petrochemical products. These processes are often accompanied by the presence of solid particles, impurities, and contaminants. 

In this context, wedge wire screen products provide support for the separation, filtration, screening and handling of liquids, gases, and solids in oil and gas production, to optimize product quality.


The wedge wire products are mainly used for media retention and solid-liquid separation processes.


Our wedge wire strainers can used for:

1. Oil and gas extraction. Wedge wire screens and sand control screens are used to prevent sand and other solid particles from entering and damaging downhole equipment while allowing hydrocarbons to flow into the well.

2. Water injection and produced water treatment. In enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and water drive operations, wedge wire screens are used as filtration elements in water injection systems to remove solid particles and impurities from the injected water. Additionally, they are also used in treating produced water to ensure that oil and solids are effectively separated from the water before disposal or reinjection, thus maintaining the efficiency of the system.

3. Refineries and petrochemical filtration. Wedge wire screens are used in filtration units within various refineries and petrochemical processes to remove impurities and particulate matter from crude oil, condensate water, or other process fluids. This ensures the quality and integrity of downstream products.

4. Gas-liquid separation. Wedge wire screens are employed in the gas processing units in the petrochemical industry. They help separate entrained liquid droplets from natural gas or other gases, to improve the quality of gases and prevent damage to downstream equipment.

5. Hydrocyclone support. Wedge wire screens can be used as a support structure in hydro cyclones, typically used in processes such as oil-water separation or sand removal from produced water, facilitating liquid-liquid or liquid-solid separation.


YUANLV has been supplying wedge wire screens to the petrochemical industry for many years and has wide range of products in our portfolio including Support Grids, center pipes, scallops, Header Laterals, Centrifuge baskets, and filter Nozzles.


1. Support Grids: 

our support grids are individually sized to suit customers' specifications and requirements which may also include the supply of calculations where necessary.

Support Grids are used in a variety of applications due to their strength, durability, and high flow rate capacities such as:

  • Molecular sieves

  • Catalysts supports

  • Media retention

  • Plus, many other absorption systems

2. Header Laterals

Various types of Header Laterals are available which are mainly used for media retention. The design allows for an even distribution or collection of liquid or gas and therefore vastly reduces any dead areas within the system.
