Membrane Protection: Grinders, to Coarse, Fine, & Ultra Fine Screens Why? How Fine is Fine Enough? The Do’s & Don?ts

This presentation illustrates the benefits realized from coarse and fine screening for both conventional and membrane facilities. It outlines the pros and cons of screen types and models, and the screening panels, drives, and seals that provide positive and negative features of each as it pertains to capture efficiencies, maintenance, and space requirements. Emphasis will be given to fine screening for membrane protection, as well as the criteria for designing a low maintenance, high efficiency engineering design.
