Screen gross solids and floatables at CSO sites with infrequent overflows.

Though overflows may be infrequent, when they occur they are still damaging to the environment. The Hydro-Static® Screen offers an economically sustainable screen for combined sewer overflow sites with infrequent overflows, but at which environmental protection is still a concern.

Configurations

Up-Flow

The Hydro-Static® Screen is mounted horizontally over the dry weather flow channel so that the flow passes up and through the screen in a storm event.

Through-Flow

The Hydro-Static® Screen is offset from the vertical to encourage screenings to drop away from the corrugated mesh once the storm has subsided.

Applications

  • CSO sites with infrequent spills

  • Floatables control within collection systems

  • Retrofits or new CSO screening facilities

Benefits

  • Get economical, effective CSO screening

  • Reduce maintenance requirements

  • Installs quickly and easily
