Q–Screen Unit (Static Run Down Screen)

How it Works

The effluent enters the Q-Screen unit via the feed inlet before passing over the feed distribution weir. The water passes through the wedge wire panels leaving the solids to collect on the surface of the wedge wire panel. The solids pass down the surface of the panel and build up over time before eventually falling off the solids discharge chute into a skip or other machinery for further treatment.

The screened liquid travels through the wedge wire panel before leaving through the liquid outlet at the bottom of the unit. The Q-Screen unit can also be fitted when necessary with a pressurised water spraying system to help keep the wedge wire panel clean and avoid clogging.
