Technology Overview
Untreated sewage first passes through a screw screen, which effectively removes larger floating and suspended materials, known as screenings. The screened sewage then flows into a longitudinal sedimentation tank where sand and other heavy particles, referred to as grit, settle out and are removed by a system of screws.
A horizontal shaftless grit conveying screw transports settled grit to the sump. Grit is then removed from the sump via a shafted extraction screw which lifts the grit from the tank for discharge into a bin. Additionally, the system can be configured to remove fats, oils, and grease (FOG), offering enhanced treatment where required.
Key Features
- Small footprint & minimal civil works
- Ease of installation and operation
- Low operating costs and maintenance
- Low organic matter in the solid residue extracted
- Reduction up to 40% in volume of solids removed
- No odours
