Guidelines for Wet Muck Out

THE WET MUCK OUT/HYBRID SYSTEM

iii) Screen

The purpose of the screen is to remove suspended solids and coarse matter in the wastewater before it enters the aeration tank.

The screen openings should be sufficiently small to retain the solids but large enough to allow the wastewater to pass through. The screen(s) must be arranged in such a way that the screenings can be easily removed on a regular basis.

The collected screenings must be properly contained and disposed of.
