SmartWave™ Septage Receiving (SR)
Where tough loads meet smart motion.
Septage doesn’t arrive the same way every time. The SmartWave Platform is a new approach to screening built around controlled-vibration technology. Its first product, the SmartWave Septage Receiving screen, is designed to handle challenging, unpredictable loads while helping capture difficult solids and resist FOG buildup. Its patent-pending design eliminates the need for a rock trap, reducing maintenance and giving operators a simpler, more reliable way to screen septage.
Put SmartWave to the test.
The SmartWave Septage Receiving Screen is currently available through Duperon’s Pilot Program. Test the technology under your actual operating conditions and gain firsthand insight into screening performance at your facility.
Septage Receiving Screens Engineered for Controlled Motion
SmartWave™ is designed to deliver the motion needed for effective screening without transferring significant vibration to the surrounding area. During testing, vibration was measured at the floor less than 1 foot from the SmartWave™ Septage Receiving Screen while the unit was operating. No detectable vibration was measured at that location, demonstrating that the controlled motion remains focused on the screening surface rather than being significantly transferred to the surrounding floor.
See the difference motion makes.
SmartWave™ uses controlled vibration to create a wave-like screening motion that separates liquids from solids and keeps captured material moving.
No scrapers. No brushes. No augers. Just smart motion designed for tough septage loads.

Difference
High Solids Capture
Designed to remove more solids per gallon of influent, helping reduce downstream loading and improve overall plant performance.
Controlled Vibration Technology
Purpose-built vibration delivers consistent screening performance while directing energy where it matters most, without brushes or scrapers to wear, replace, or maintain.
Built for FOG-Laden Loads
Patent-pending screening technology helps prevent FOG smearing and blinding, maintaining reliable performance through challenging septage conditions.
Designed Without a Rock Trap
Eliminates the need for a separate rock trap, reducing maintenance, manual debris removal, and operator effort.
Reliable Through Variable Loads
Handles challenging septage conditions—including rags, wipes, grit, organics, and changing loads—with dependable performance.
Simplified Maintenance
Purpose-built for septage receiving with a streamlined design that helps reduce maintenance demands, minimize operator effort, and support lower lifecycle costs.
Customizable
Screen panel openings, motor sizing, and drainage port location can be tailored to your application requirements.
Description
The SmartWaveTM Septage Receiving Screen is designed to receive and screen septage, separating liquids from solids while continuously conveying captured debris to discharge. Septage flows onto the screening surface, where controlled screening motion creates a wave-like action that promotes liquid/solids separation and keeps captured material moving. Dual SmartWave rotary electric motors provide the controlled motion required for consistent screening performance.
The screening system uses perforated screen panels to capture rags, wipes, grit, FOG, and other organic solids from challenging septage streams. The screening surface is designed to minimize FOG smearing and blinding without the use of scrapers, augers, or brushes. Removable screen panels provide quick access for maintenance, while built-in spray bars wash debris from the screening surface.
The SmartWave Septage Receiving Screen is designed without a rock trap, allowing rocks and dense debris to pass through the screening system. This reduces manual debris removal and maintenance while supporting reliable operation through variable septage loads.
How SmartWave™ Works
[include graphic to show how debris moves through the SmartWave]
- RECEIVE
Septage flows directly onto the SmartWave screening surface. - SEPARATE
Controlled vibration creates a wave-like motion that promotes liquid/solids separation. - CAPTURE
Perforated screen panels capture rags, wipes, grit, FOG and other solids. - CONVEY
Continuous screening motion moves captured solids toward discharge while built-in spray bars help keep the screening surface clear.
The result: A continuous screening process designed to handle variable septage loads without scrapers, augers, brushes or a separate rock trap.

Key Features
The SmartWave™ Septage Receiving Screen uses controlled screening motion to:
- Controlled screening motion separates liquids from solids, moves captured debris toward discharge, and helps prevent FOG smearing and blinding—without scrapers, augers, or brushes.
- Quick-change screen panels provide easy access for maintenance
- Built-in spray bars wash debris from the screening surface and minimize hair pinning
- No rock trap required moves rocks and dense debris across the screening surface to discharge, reducing manual removal and maintenance
- High solids capture removes rags, wipes, grit, FOG, and organic solids from challenging septage streams
Accessories
This option is available for the Duperon® Washer Compactor and can transport debris up to 40 feet in any direction, even vertically, eliminating the need for additional motorized conveyance systems.
The Bagger System attaches to the discharge chute for applications where bag dispensing and odor control are required. Included is a 90 meter length of continuous feed bags.
This flexible Drop Sleeve is an economical way to direct and contain downward debris discharge. Also used where waste container hauling may cause damage to metal discharge chutes.
The washer compactor housing and chute can be thermally protected from cold temperatures with the addition of the Heat Blanket with integral heat trace.
Other options include: Operating hopper bypass and hopper level sensor
