Bar screens serve as the first line of defense in wastewater treatment, responsible for intercepting and removing large solid waste, thereby protecting subsequent equipment from damage. With the industrial development in Thailand, the sales of bar screens have been steadily increasing, making them an indispensable part of both industrial and municipal wastewater treatment facilities.
The primary role of bar screens is to prevent solid materials from entering downstream treatment equipment, such as screw presses, plate and frame filter presses, and belt filter presses, thereby avoiding efficiency reductions or damage caused by blockages. Bar screens also ensure the proper operation of blowers, diffusers, MBR systems, and DAF systems.
Regular cleaning of bar screens and ensuring their coordination with sludge pumps, PH/ORP controllers, and RO/EDI systems are crucial for maintaining overall operational stability and efficiency.
