Wastewater Screen

Case 1: Municipal Wastewater Facility

Country: Illinois, USA

Application: Municipal Wastewater Facility

Goal: Reduce maintenance cost of filtration system in the municipal wastewater facility

Background:

A medium-sized wastewater treatment plant in Illinois was experiencing frequent blockages in its wastewater treatment equipment at the inlet, requiring frequent downtime for maintenance. This wasted time and increased overall wastewater treatment operating costs. The wastewater plant contacted us for a solution.

Solution:

We equipped the plant with our wedge wire wastewater treatment screens and rotary drum screens, leveraging the advantages of wedge wire. It effectively resolves the blockage and downtime issues. Data showed that this reduced manual labor, cut downtime by 60%, and improved solid removal efficiency by 40%. The plant now processes over 8 MGD (million gallons per day) with minimal blockages.

Case 2: Seafood Processing Plant, Spain

Country: Spain

Application: Seafood Processing Plant

Goal: Used in preliminary seafood processing treatment, filter out shells, scales, and soft tissue residues, at the same time reducing production costs

Customer requirements:

In seafood processing wastewater treatment, filtration equipment is used to initially remove larger solids and act as a physical barrier to prevent clogging of downstream equipment. It is required to allow water and smaller particles to pass through while capturing larger debris such as fish pieces, scales, and other solids. The wastewater screen mesh size should be less than 6 mm, ultimately meeting government-mandated wastewater discharge requirements. 

Solution:

After learning about the customer's needs, YUBO custom-designed a wedge wire static screen for the seafood processing plant in Spain. With slot sizes of 0.5mm, the facility achieved full compliance with local discharge regulations and reduced load on their DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation) units.

Case 3: Brewery Wastewater System, Germany

Country: Germany

Application: Brewery Wastewater System

Goal: Solving the problem of anaerobic digester blockage

Backgrounds:

Recently, a brewery in Bavaria, Germany, faced a blockage issue with its anaerobic digester and sought a solution. The main nature of solids is hops from the brewing process.  The filtration requirement is to remove most of the solids in the water.

Solutions:

We installed a coarse mechanical screen followed by a fine static wedge wire screen, effectively removing spent grain and yeast sediments. Within three months, gas production stabilized, and overall BOD load was reduced by over 25%.

Efficient solid-liquid separation through wastewater screen equipment is the backbone of effective water treatment. Whether you're managing urban sewage, food production waste, or industrial effluent, our coarse screening solutions deliver reliability, efficiency, and compliance.
