Multiple step pre-treatment processes to reduce TSS, BOD and FOG before discharge are typically energy hungry and may also require significant plant space. The Hydro MicroScreen™ is a low-energy, small footprint rotating belt screen that delivers exceptional solids removal from process water. Hydro MicroScreen™ provides energy savings of up to 50% compared to conventional primary clarification technologies in only one tenth of the footprint of multi-stage processes.
Meeting water discharge regulations is critical for industrial organisations – the more suspended solids in your effluent, the more your costs for discharge / disposal. The Hydro MicroScreen™ can also help operators minimise discharge / disposal charges by capturing residual material rather than flushing it into the sewer system. This material could then be sold, repurposed or re-used.
The Hydro MicroScreen™ is already well proven in other parts of the world. At a tannery facility in the United States, the Hydro MicroScreen™ has halved haulage and disposal costs by reducing the total solids volume and water content of waste material for transport to a specialist waste processing facility.
“A demonstrably short ROI can help with getting the go ahead on a project. The exceptional solids removal and reduction in power use of the Hydro MicroScreen™ provide measurable savings and can result in short ROI times – some larger industrial sites have seen ROIs of between a few months and 2 years.” says Phil Collins, Hydro International, Sales Director Europe.
