Description and operation

Definitive Ecology’s compact screening and grit separation plant can be supplied with wastewater for treatment by means of a pump or by gravity feed, depending on the application.
The wastewater flows through the screen. The suspended solids are intercepted by screen: due to gradual binding of the screen the level of liquid upstream from the screen starts to rise. When the level reaches a pre-determined value the screw responsible for cleaning the screen starts to rotate. While they are being transferred out of the wastewater the screenings are washed (optional accessory) to reduce the organic matter contents. An additional screenings wash can be performed in the transport zone (optional accessory). Before being discharged, the screenings are compacted in the screw compaction zone.
Wastewater that has passed through the screen enters the settling tank, where the grit is separated. Here, the wastewater is subjected to coarse bubble aeration to optimise the grit settling process.
The grit deposited in the tank is lifted and dewatered by a shaftless screw conveyor before being discharged.
The water level in the settling tank is pre-determined to optimise grit separation.
Aeration is performed continuously with the ingress of the wastewater.
Operation of the screw conveyors and grit lifting conveyor is controlled by a timer in accordance with the quantity of grit present.
The wastewater discharged from the plant can now be transferred to the downstream treatment stages
