Superior Performance
The Salsnes Filter provides the most cost effective mechanical separation in the market. The filter is very effective at cleaning the wire cloth while maintaining a high capacity. The sludge produced is very dry and the compact unit provides a very high reduction in suspended solids.
Increased Secondary Treatment Capacity
Salsnes Filters remove a large portion of the suspended solids from sewage. This results in a significant decrease in the BOD and TSS of the sewage going to secondary treatment. Therefore a smaller secondary treatment system is required or the capacity of an existing system can be increased.
Proven, Reliable, Pre-Engineered Systems
All systems are pre-engineered and may be available in stock. Upon order of a new system it is possible to select the orientation of nozzles, etc to best fit into the facility. Several communities in North America are proceeding with the installation of Salsnes filters.
Modularity
The use of modular filters allows a municipality to increase capacity as required by adding more filters as the population demand requires. For redundancy, a 100% spare unit can be installed that will act as a backup and will also serve to handle peak loads.
Reduced Costs
The capital and operating cost is substantially less than traditional pre-treatment and primary sedimentation. There are also substantial cost savings associated with a drastically reduced footprint.
Reduced Sludge Production
By removing a large portion of the solids entering a secondary treatment system, Salsnes Filters are able to significantly reduce the amount of waste activated sludge produced. In some cases, WAS production has been reduced by over 80%. This results in large reductions in WAS handling expenses.
