Description

OPERATING MODE

The Microscreen Drum Filter operates using a proven IN-OUT filtration process. Wastewater enters the central influent pipe and flows through individual filter cartridges. Suspended solids are retained on the inside of the filter media while clean water passes through the filtration cloth.

As solids accumulate, the water level inside the drum gradually rises. Once the preset level is reached, the drum automatically rotates and activates the backwash cycle. High-pressure spray nozzles remove collected solids and discharge them into the sludge trough.

When the water level returns to normal, rotation stops and filtration resumes at full capacity. The process operates continuously without interruption.
