Building the largest drum screen in North America<\/h3>\n\n \n

Ovivo was the nominated supplier of a large regional waste water plant in California to produce the Brackett Green\u00ae Double Entry drum screen<\/a> to be installed between the clarifiers and the large chlorination and UV disinfectant system. The process took about five years to complete and included engineering, designing, fabrication and shop testing in Salt Lake City. The system has been running for a few months after a short installation period and is now considered not only the largest drum screen in North America, but also the heaviest. Measuring 36 feet in diameter and 20 feet wide, the drum screen and supporting equipment can sustain a high level of seismic activity.<\/p>\n

The drum screen is a small part in the entire project, but it plays an essential role. The plant preferred our solution as it featured the Brackett Green\u00ae Drum Screen that is considered the most reliable technology for large flows with a high-performing capture rate. It can screen 343 million gallons per day, the equivalent of certain parts of the Sacramento River\u2019s daily flow, catching debris and directing it onto Ovivo\u2019s dewatering equipment and into a dumpster.<\/p>\n\n

Looking Through the ESG Lens<\/strong>
\nThe footprint of the Brackett Green\u00ae drum screen installation is relatively small for the size of the flow that it is processing in comparison to other technologies. \u2018\u2019With other solutions, the plant would have needed between 5 and 10 separate systems to accomplish the same throughput of flow\u2019\u2019 explained Jared Holindrake, Project Group Manager. The Brackett Green\u00ae Drum screen is also energy efficient as it only needs a small electric motor to drive the entire system as the drum rotates from its perimeter.<\/p>\n\n

\u2018\u2019It\u2019s quite an achievement and most definitely a great team effort. With Abner Aviles as Senior Project Engineer and Steven Gates as the Senior Controls Engineer, we had a lot of detailing done in our Salt Lake City and India offices\u2019\u2019 says Jared. This technology can be used in other situations such as industrial and power systems, municipal headworks, river and ocean intakes.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
