The S:MAX range is specifically designed for automated screening of all types of sewage sludge including:

• Raw Sludge
• Surplus Activated Sludge
• Septic Tank Sludge
• Digester Feed Sludge and digestate
• Lagoon / Pond Emptying Solids
• Storm Screenings
• Tank Cleanout Residues.

It can easily accommodate both indigenous sludge and imported sludge with a design that enables the capture of rag and grit from even high solids sludges. S:MAX offers significant operational efficiencies as a result of increased screenings removal, elimination of blockages and reduced power and water requirements.

Eliminating blockages during sludge screening

Blockages within existing sludge screening plants are the single biggest cause of increased operational costs and long periods of plant downtime. A unique back wash system on the S:MAX ensures that the screens do not block with material offering utilities and contractors a significant reduction in the cost of operation and maintenance as well as an increase in plant uptime.

By processing at the fastest rate possible, with no requirement for a reception tank, tanker assets are optimised and transportation costs minimised.

Biomass power generation

Removing the majority of rag and grit before they reach valuable sludge processes, maintains capacity in tanks further down the treatment line for biomass power generation in the anaerobic digestion phase. Companies can maximise the potential for the generation of energy from biosolids by reducing the level of biosolids contamination within the digesters. The benefits of effective screenings removal also include reduced operation and maintenance costs at the anaerobic digestion phase.
