How the Rotating Belt Screen Works

The Rotating Belt Screen (RBS) utilizes a continuously rotating filter belt to separate solids from the influent ideal for sludge detwatering. The RBS is effective with a wide variety of wastestreams with screen openings between 65 and 300 microns. The continuous belt screen receives influent wastewater in an enclosed tank, which is then filtered as the filter belt comes out of the water tank. The solids residue is then conveyed above the tank liquid level, to a belt cleaning section and then removed by water spray and dewatered using a screw auger. The dewatered solids or cake can discharge to a container or to a conveying system to a solids disposal container for easy disposal. minimizes the time spent by a maintenance operator required to keep the technology functioning.

Wastewater Filtering Technology

This wastewater filtering technology can also be used with wastewater treatment chemicals such as coagulants and/or flocculants to break oily emulsions found in the wastewater. Oils and Greases, Heavy Metals, Heavy Solids, and Insoluble BOD and COD concentrations can be reduced from the wastewater discharge.

Unlike a vibratory shaker screen that can blind with varying wastewater solids, the RBS utilizes a water spraying system to keep the filter media clean and prevents blinding. This feature
