Complete Solutions for Wastewater Treatment

• Perforated Screens: Effectiveness in Retaining Small Solids:

Perforated screens are designed to retain very small diameter solids in wastewater with high efficiency. This fine-screen model reduces maintenance requirements in treatment plants by lowering the risk of clogging and improving operational reliability. The system operates through perforated belts mounted on a chain mechanism that capture solid waste and transport it upward, where it is removed by a brush system while the belt surface is cleaned with pressurized water to ensure continuous operation.

ARTAS Umwelt Technologien GmbH provides advanced screening systems used in the preliminary treatment stage, including multi-rake bar screens, mechanical arc screens, rotary drum screens, internal flow drum screens, and rope-driven screens. These systems remove coarse and fine solids before wastewater enters subsequent treatment units, protecting pumps, pipelines, and mechanical equipment while ensuring reliable plant performance.

• Mixers

Efficient mixing is essential in many treatment processes such as coagulation and chemical dosing.

Key Advantages

• High mixing efficiency ensuring uniform distribution of chemicals and liquids.
• Designed to operate with minimum energy consumption.
• SCADA monitoring capability.
• Heavy-duty and reliable design is suitable.

• Penstocks & Weirs

Penstocks and adjustable weirs provide accurate flow regulation and water level control across different treatment stages. Effective sealing is achieved using P- and/or K-type double-lip rubber gaskets. The equipment can be manufactured from stainless steel, galvanized steel, epoxy-coated steel, or aluminum to ensure durability in demanding environments.

Key Advantages

• Precise water level and flow control.
• Available with electric or pneumatic actuators for automated operation.
• SCADA integration for monitoring and remote control.
• Durable sealing systems ensuring minimal leakage and reliable operation.
• Simple maintenance.

 

• Clarifier Rotating Bridge Scraper

Sludge collection is an important stage in sedimentation tanks and the operation of linear scrapers used in rectangular settling tanks. Sludge scrapers, used to collect bottom sludge and froth in rectangular settling tanks, move the sludge out of the basin in linear motion. The operation of the equipment is based on a moving bridge mechanism. Before the bridge starts to move, the scraper arms go down and move with the bridge. After the scraper arms, controlled by switches, go down, the bridge moves. Features: Long service life. Easy maintenance. Heavy-duty design with strength. Fully automatic operation.

• Sludge Scrapers, Thickening & Dewatering

Efficient sludge handling is essential for reducing sludge volume and optimizing downstream treatment processes. The equipment includes several stainless steel components such as the filtrate outlet, wash water inlet, frame, and cover, while bolts and nuts are typically A2/A4 grade.
Key Advantages

• High sludge thickening and dewatering efficiency.
• Low energy consumption is contributing.
• Continuous operation capability for reliable plant performance.
• SCADA monitoring and automated control options.
• Reduction of sludge volume helps lower transportation and disposal costs.
