Optimize Wet Well Screening with the SAVÉCO Basket Screen
The SAVÉCO Wet Well Basket Screen is used in pumping stations and treatment plants to effectively capture and remove large solids, rags, and debris from municipal and industrial wastewater.
Screening plays a vital role at wastewater treatment plants. Stones, wipes, rags, and other large debris in the wastewater ultimately end up at wastewater treatment plants clogging pumps, aeration systems, and other critical process equipment, resulting in high maintenance costs and inefficient operation.
Screening Improves WWTP Performance
Screening improves the overall performance of treatment plants by reducing the load on downstream processes and helping to improve the quality of the treated wastewater. This is an important factor in achieving discharge permits and meeting regulatory requirements.
Operating Process
SAVÉCO’s FSM Wet Well Basket Screen efficiently removes debris from wastewater. Positioned below the influent pipe, the stainless steel basket with bars and perforated plates captures solids as flow passes through. Above ground, curved guide rails facilitate easy emptying: an operator uses a local control panel to raise the basket, allowing water to drain from the screenings. A chute then directs the raked-out debris into a dumpster. Importantly, when the basket is raised, a screen automatically lowers over the inlet pipe, preventing any debris from entering the wet well during the emptying process. The system includes all necessary frames and accessories for trouble-free operation.
