What Is a Bar Screen?
Bar screens are devices used to intercept floating debris in fluids, consisting of bars set at regular intervals. They vary from simple vertical bars to more complex systems that automatically lift debris, wash it away, or rotate the filtration surface. When selecting a bar screen, considerations include screen opening size based on debris size, width for the installation location, and method based on intended use.
Compliance with standards, such as sewage facility design guidelines, is often necessary. For example, these guidelines may specify certain dimensions and angles for screens in sewage treatment.
