Uneven backwashing, media loss, and rising pressure drop often point to the same overlooked component: the underdrain. Read More

Municipal water intakes have to balance two competing needs: moving enough raw water to meet plant demand while keeping debris, sediment, and aquatic organisms away from pumps and downstream equipment. Read More

Pumps drawing from rivers, ponds, reservoirs, or wells often face a simple but costly problem: debris reaches the intake before the equipment has a chance to handle it. Read More

For desalination plants, a clogged seawater intake is more than a maintenance nuisance. Debris, marine growth, and changing seasonal loads can reduce available screen area, disrupt flow, and increase the burden on intake equipment. Read More

Choosing an intake screen is rarely as simple as selecting the smallest opening. A screen may block debris effectively yet still cause problems if it restricts flow, fouls quickly, or creates unfavorable conditions for aquatic life. Read More

Choosing the wrong screen can slow a plant fast. A rotary drum screen must handle real water, not ideal lab samples. In this article, you will learn how to match screen design, slot size, material, flow, cleaning, and maintenance needs.  Read More
