The first step of operationally reliable and efficient wastewater treatment
The separation of solids in wastewater with screens and fine screening systems is the first step in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment.
The main task here is to remove all coarse and foreign materials that could inhibit or hinder the function of subsequent wastewater treatment stages.
The following factors, among others, must be taken into account when planning an operationally reliable solids separation solution:
- Maximum required hydraulic throughput
- Expected screenings quantities
- Required bar spacing or separation capacity for solids
- Influence of sewer system (surges, deposits, pumping stations, etc.)
- Redundancy requirements
- Installation situation (channel, tank)
- Feeding (by gravity, pump, hoist, ...)
All this information and framework conditions are then taken into account for the choice of the right machine technology and determine the number, size and type of screening systems.
