Unlikely Technology Combo KOs Large Suspended Solids, Paper360º November/December 2024

Various industries including wastewater treatment, power generation, food processing, and chemical manufacturing depend on industrial strainers to separate unwanted suspended solids from liquids and slurries. However, conventional strainer methods can be unreliable and lead to extensive maintenance, particularly in cases (such as pulp mills) where the debris or solids are of substantial size and there is a significant amount of suspended solids present.

Fortunately, the use of a novel blend of industrial wastewater technologies now allows for the efficient removal of solids without the need for extensive manual labor, worker exposure to messy or potentially hazardous substances, or constant maintenance. Specifically, the design involves a one-two punch combination of a macerator, which breaks down large solids into smaller fragments; and an automated scraper strainer flexible enough to efficiently filter out larger debris along with tiny particles.
