Bar screens are an important first-line defense when it comes to keeping debris and large solids out of a wastewater treatment system. For low-flow systems that need ultra-fine screening, a drum screen can be installed after the bar screen or at other critical points in the treatment process. They are particularly beneficial for certain industrial… Continue reading
Before wastewater can be treated to minimize biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), nutrients, and pathogens, it is important to eliminate as much debris as practical, as early on in the treatment plant as possible, to avoid clogging pumps or compromising downstream performance. Careful consideration of design and operating factors can minimize total lifecycle costs and maintenance… Continue reading
By their very nature, wastewater bar screens are intended to operate under some pretty tough conditions. When a storm surge hits, however, both the severity of conditions and the criticality of results ratchets up several notches. With heavy storms seeming to occur more frequently and with greater intensity, here are multiple points to consider while… Continue reading
