HUBER Screenings Wash Press WAP® SL Super launder wash press

Super Launder Wash Press for disposal cost reduction

  • Reduced volume, weight and disposal costs up to 85 %
  • Compaction up to 50 % DR
  • High washed screenings quality of (< 20 mg BOD5 / g DR)
  • Disposal costs reduced up to 10 % compared to simple wash press systems

The HUBER Screenings Wash Press WAP® SL operates in a batch mode. The screenings are either deposited directly into the wash press trough from a screen or conveyor, or they are flushed into the trough via a launder channel. This flexible system ensures efficient handling and processing of screenings, depending on the specific installation setup.

Once a batch of screenings is fed into the wash press trough, it is filled with wash water. An impeller then agitates the mixture for a set period, creating high turbulence. This intense agitation loosens and removes organic matter and other organic particles from the screenings through shear forces, ensuring effective cleaning and dewatering.

Design and Function

Once the washing cycle is complete, an automatic valve opens, allowing the wash water to drain through perforations in the trough. In the next step, the washed screenings are discharged, and the compaction and dewatering process occurs simultaneously, all in a single operation, ensuring efficient handling and processing of the screenings.

The screw then pushes the screenings through the pressure zone, where they are compressed, dewatered, and compacted. After this, the screenings are discharged through the discharge pipe, either into a dumpster for disposal or into a bagger for further handling. This final step ensures that the screenings are efficiently processed and ready for disposal or transport.

Feeding through a HUBER Launder Channel HLC

The screenings drop from the screen or conveyor into the HUBER Launder Channel HLC. Screened wastewater or process water is then used to flush the screenings through the launder channel into the trough of the HUBER Screenings Wash Press WAP® SL. This flush water also serves as the wash water in the trough, ensuring effective cleaning and dewatering of the screenings during the washing process.

Feeding Directly from a Screen or Conveyor

The screenings drop directly from the screen or conveyor into the trough. Screened wastewater or process water is then introduced directly into the trough, where it serves as wash water to clean the screenings during the washing process.

The HUBER Launder Channel HLC Feed System for Screenings Wash Presses

The HUBER Launder Channel operates either in a discontinuous batch mode or continuously, depending on the system configuration. The screenings to be treated drop into the launder channel from one or more screens. Wastewater or service water is then used to flush the screenings into the wash press, where it also serves as wash water for the screenings washing process. Any free transport water is returned to the system through a perforated plate, ensuring efficient water reuse and minimizing waste.

HUBER Launder Channel HLC systems are highly adaptable to meet customer-specific requirements. To ensure maximum operational reliability, the launder channel control system can be configured to use redundant wash press systems. This setup allows the individual units to be operated as needed, with valve control managing the flow to each unit, ensuring continuous operation and reducing the risk of downtime during maintenance or unexpected issues.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Due to the highly carbonaceous composition of the loaded wash water, the C/N ratio of the entire treatment plant influent is positively influenced. Depending on the screen aperture size and the inlet situation of the sewage treatment plant, the C/N ratio can be improved by up to 6 %, and thus the denitrification performance in the case of unfavourable nutrient ratios in the sewage treatment plant.

After washing, the screenings are compacted so that the water content in the washed screenings is significantly reduced. As a result of washing out the faecal matter, a significant improvement in screenings dewatering is observed in many cases.
