Finescreens at WWTP Aarle-Rixtel

“As of the first large scale wastewater treatment plants (wwtp’s) in Europe, the wwtp Aarle-Rixtel is equipped with CellCap screens. The essence of the innovative concept in this project is the recovery of suspended solids from raw wastewater based on particle size. In comparison to common solids separation based on density, the positive impact on downstream processes is significant. Besides the difference in characteristics of the solids removed, the BOD:N ratio of filtrate can be controlled by changing the operational conditions of the screens.”
