Salsnes Filter – Separation, Thickening and Dewatering
A Salsnes Filter system combines three critical processes into one compact unit – solids separation, sludge thickening and dewatering. The rotating filtermesh removes >50% TSS, and >20% BOD from effluent and produces drier sludge (20-30% dry matter). It’s the only filter design that can replace conventional primary treatment and fulfill the EU regulations on primary treatment.
Cost-effective, compact, high-performing, chemical-free and sustainable, the Salsnes Filter system defines eco-efficient.
Compared to conventional primary treatment, a salsnes filter system can offer:
- 30 – 60% lower investment cost
- 1/10th land requirement
- Integrated thickening and dewatering
- Significantly lower lifecycle cost
- Less civil works
- Higher removal of TSS
- Fully-automated equipment
- Fast and easy maintenance
- Lower operating costs (no chemical to purchase)
- Smaller secondary/biological treatment processes
Applications:
- Municipal wastewater treatment
- Industrial wastewater treatment
-
- aquaculture
- tanneries
- pulp & paper
- food processing>
