Why Wastewater Screens Are Essential for Effective Treatment Systems

Wastewater screens are the essential step in the filtration and purification system in the water treatment plants of the latest generation. These pulsing devices are to be installed to extract large solids like plastics, rags and debris in their raw waste water before they are filtered into secondary waste water treatment procedures. Inadequate upstream screening may lead to eventual clogging and malfunctioning of downstream equipment such as sewage grinder pump systems, which not only become expensive to repair, but also become inefficient.

Wastewater screens can be classified in several types such as coarse screens, fine screens and micro-screens and they are used to screen certain particle sizes. Screens are useful in preserving the integrity of the wastewater biological treatment systems, as they degrade the organic waste by microbial actions, by efficiently removing the non-biodegradable materials very earl
