How To Get The Most Out Of Your Drum Screen

Bar screens are an important first-line defense when it comes to keeping debris and large solids out of a wastewater treatment system. For low-flow systems that need ultra-fine screening, a drum screen can be installed after the bar screen or at other critical points in the treatment process. They are particularly beneficial for certain industrial applications or in small municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) that utilize sensitive membrane filtration, such as membrane bioreactors (MBRs).

A properly designed and sized drum screen can be crucial to a successful wastewater treatment system. But some drum screens are a headache to run. Screen openings can clog, and parts can corrode. Preventative maintenance and cleaning the drum is often a time-consuming and laborious process. The excess downtime can be costly and impact treatment results. That’s why Duperon designed a drum screen with a blend of features that address major operator pain points.
