National Screen Evaluation Facility - Inlet Screen Evaluation Comparative Report (1999–2015)

Abstract

This report details the results of process performance tests performed at the National Screens Evaluation Facility, Chester-Le-Street STW, between March 1999 and December 2015 on a total of 59 Inlet Screens of different generic type, comprising 11 Bandscreens, 10 Finescreens, 27 Combined Screens, 8 Bar / Slotscreens and 3 Stepscreens, with nominal aperture size varying from 6 mm to 1 mm.

The testing establishes the effectiveness of each screen tested in terms of screenings removal (expressed as Screenings Capture Ratio - SCR) and also identifies screen hydraulic performance by establishing a head loss versus flow trend for each unit tested.

The report also offers a comparison of the various generic types of screens available to the industry.
