The SmartWave septage-receiving screen is built around controlled-vibration technology to address the challenges of unpredictable septage loads coming into treatment facilities. The SmartWave Septage Receiving screen gives facilities a more reliable way to manage what arrives at the receiving station by increasing solids capture, reducing downstream loading and improving overall plant performance. Its controlled vibration creates a wave-like screening motion that separates liquids from solids and keeps captured material moving, providing consistent screening without brushes, scrapers or augers to replace or maintain. The SmartWave’s patent-pending screening technology minimizes FOG smearing and blinding during challenging septage conditions. The system also eliminates the need for a separate rock trap, helping reduce maintenance, manual debris removal and operator effort. Built to handle variable septage conditions, the SmartWave offers reliable performance with a streamlined design that can help reduce maintenance demands and lifecycle costs. Each system is engineered around site-specific flows, solids loading and operational goals. — Duperon Corp., Saginaw, Mich.
