Description
The FCD is a compact and economical micro combined equipment designed specifically for screenings and grit removal, making it an ideal solution for pre-treating wastewater at small flow rates.
The process begins with the incoming wastewater being filtered through a screw screen. The screen basket of this screw screen is made from either perforated plate or wedge wire, ensuring effective filtration.
Following the screening stage, the wastewater proceeds to the settling tank. This tank is engineered with a fluid dynamic design that maximizes grit separation efficiency within a limited volume. A special internal baffle system facilitates the efficient separation of sand, which accumulates at the bottom of the tank. The collected sand is then removed via a valve, which can be either manually operated or actuated. This design not only achieves excellent separation efficiency but also minimizes the unit’s footprint, making it particularly beneficial in scenarios where on-site handling capabilities are limited or when installation within a confined space, such as a container roof, is required.
The FCD unit can be manufactured using a variety of materials, including stainless steel (grades 304 or 316) for the main body, with the spiral component available in either carbon steel or stainless steel, or a combination of these materials to suit different application needs.
Key advantages of the FCD system include:
- High efficiency in operation.
- Simplicity in design and function.
- Extremely easy installation and maintenance.
- Very small footprint, requiring minimal space for installation.
To cater to specific operational requirements, the unit can be equipped with a control panel upon request, available in either electromechanical or PLC-controlled formats.
