Climber Screen
Maximize screenings capture; minimize problems Engineered to last with virtually no maintenance, Climber Screen reduces costs and complications in severe-duty applications. A precision, gear-driven cleaning rake carries solids from the bar rack to a discharge chute for removal without the need for chains, sprockets, or cables that can break. A hinged wiper assembly engages at the discharge point to ensure that the screenings reach the chute instead of returning into the channel. Large obstructions arent a problem for Climber Screen. The rake will disengage from the bar rack until it clears the object, or activate an alarm to reverse the unit before damage occurs. Since all moving parts are kept above the water level, maintenance and repairs are minimal. Invest in Climber Screen for years of return.

ABW
Applications CSO or stormwater treatment Excessive grit or large debris removal Deep water and/or low headroom installations Raw water intakes Sanitary applications Exclusive traveling bridge filter performs without downtime The ABW Filter operates at low head losses of just six to 12 inches for effective media cleaning with reduced construction, maintenance, and operating costs. Regular, short-duration backwash cleans each cell in the compartmentalized filter bed sequentially, so the system uses less water and can remain on line at all times. Our exclusive, seven-stage process introduces backwash water gradually to maintain a consistent media bed for optimum effluent quality. ABW Filter Underdrain Weve improved the ABW Filter Underdrain with a unique, two-piece cell divider that converts to various media depths. The unit provides additional support of the porous plate and a positive seal that virtually eliminates media leaks. Easy to install and maintain, it directly replaces our current underdrain configurations for simple retrofits.

AquaDAF
HIGH-RATE DISSOLVED AIR FLOTATION
Patented technology for unparalleled flotation rates AquaDAFs patented effluent collection system raises dissolved air flotation technology to the next level. Dissolved air flotation (DAF) flocculates and clarifies raw water that has been pretreated with coagulant only, which keeps the process cost-effective and polymer-free. A pressurized recycle stream produces microbubbles that attach to the floc, pushing solids to the waters surface where they can be mechanically or hydraulically removed. AquaDAFs patented technology creates a unique flow pattern that increases the bubble surface area for increased flotation and loading rates up to ten times greater than conventional DAF systems. The result: A smaller footprint, reduced energy consumption, less capital, and lower operating costs. AquaDAF for clear advantages Patented technology yields unequaled loading rates Expanded plant capacity without additional basins Polymer-free, low effluent turbidities ensure longer filter runs Flexible float removal adapts to plant needs Simple design for easy operation and maintenance Small footprint results in space savings and lower capital costs Hydraulic or mechanical flocculation and float removal Sample Bubble Density Applications Efficient low-density particle removal High-level algae removal Membrane pretreatment Low turbidity (< 30 NTU), high color, high TOC clarification Cold water treatment DensaDeg delivers efficiency with real value DensaDeg is a high-rate solids contact clarifier that achieves unparalleled hydraulic loading rates and treatment efficiencies by combining optimized flocculation, internal and external sludge recirculation, and tube settling in two conjoined vessels.
