Why Wastewater Screening Equipment is Essential for Treatment Plants

Wastewater screening equipment removes harmful solids & prevents damage. Learn manual vs. mechanical solutions for your treatment facility.

Foundation for Effective Wastewater Treatment

There are big solid matter, rags and grit in wastewater which can greatly disrupt the process of treatment. And this is where the wastewater screening equipment becomes very important at the preliminary stage of treatment. This equipment removes unwanted materials before they damage your facility and increase maintenance costs.

Types of Screening Solutions

Wastewater screening equipment comes in various forms, each designed for specific needs:

  • Coarse Screens remove large debris with openings of 6mm or larger
  • Fine Screens tackle material that causes downstream problems, with 1.5-6 mm openings
  • Hydrocyclone Systems separate liquids from solids efficiently
  • Communitors and Grinders shred material up to 19mm in size

Manual vs. Mechanical Screening

Manually screening the water involves labor that has to be done constantly, which causes more money to be spent in terms of operations and downtime. Mechanized sewage screens work without stopping, saving money on labor cost and avoiding problems of clogging.

Key Design Advantages

Wastewater Screening equipment that is effective should have features such as being compactly designed, built using stainless steel, and able to carry out screening, washing, compaction, and dewatering in one process. The current generation of equipment handles wastewater, septage, sludge, scum, and grease without any problems. 

Selecting Your System

The selection of good wastewater screening machines depends on your site, costs, size, and requirements of the plant. The EPA recommends having a backup screen for uninterrupted operations and to prevent dangerous backups.

At Lakeside Equipment Corporation, we provide specially engineered equipment designed to maximize efficiency and minimize setbacks. Our solutions are built with quality materials to handle your facility's specific wastewater treatment challenges while reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Choose the right screening equipment - choose reliability and performance.
