Wastewater Screen (WS)

Wastewater Screen (WS)

A Wastewater Screen, also known as a screening device or bar screen, is a mechanical structure used in wastewater treatment plants to remove large solids, debris, and other non-biodegradable materials from raw sewage or wastewater before it enters the treatment process.

The Wastewater Screen typically consists of parallel vertical or inclined bars or wires spaced at intervals. As sewage flows through the screen, the bars or wires trap large objects such as sticks, rags, plastics, and other debris, preventing them from entering downstream treatment processes such as pumps, pipes, and biological treatment units.

Wastewater Screens are essential for protecting pumps, piping, and other equipment from damage caused by large solids, as well as preventing clogging and blockages in the treatment system. They help maintain the efficiency and effectiveness of the treatment process while also reducing the risk of operational disruptions and costly repairs.

Product Benefits

  • Equipment protection, prevents large debris from entering pumps, reducing equipment maintenance
  • Prevention of clogging, removal of large solids prevents blockages and reduces the risk of overflows
  • Enhanced treatment efficiency, cleaner influent improves the performance of downstream treatment
  • Cost saving, by preventing equipment damage and reducing maintenance requirements
  • Operational reliability, by maintaining consistent influent quality and minimising disruptions due to equipment failures or blockages

Typical Applications

  • Screening of raw sewage (black and grey water) prior to a wastewater treatment plant
  • Screening of industrial wastewater prior to a wastewater treatment plant
