First MS Series Bar Screen Installed In The United States - Still Running Strong!

The fourth largest city in the United States is home to Headworks® headquarters and also boasts the first MS Series Bar Screen installed in the United States. The Beltway Wastewater Treatment Plant is located on the west side of Houston, TX and receives wastewater from Alief, Kirkwood, Dairy Ashford, Richmond, and other surrounding residential areas. Wastewater flows have steadily been on the rise as Houston’s population continues to grow and the plant that previously handled approximately 6 MGD now receives anywhere from 8 MGD to upwards of 20 MGD.

Since Headworks Inc. is based in Houston, Texas it made perfect sense to approach the City of Houston for a bid in 1994 that involved replacing two old climber type screens at the Beltway WWTP. Headworks was new to the United States and the City of Houston wanted to witness firsthand the operation of the MS Series Bar Screen before they would consider the product for their application.
