What advantages does the Hydro-Static Screen offer?
A. Patented flow modifying baffles are used on the Up Flow Hydro-Static Screen to encourage a re-circulation pattern above and below the screen panels. This flow pattern helps reduce any blinding effect when the screen is in operation. The Up Flow Hydro-Static Screen is also configured so that the top of the corrugated screen sits below the weir level. Once a storm has subsided this will allow a volume of water to backwash the screen panels helping to remove any debris that may be caught on the underside of the screen. The Through Flow Hydro-Static Screen is offset from the vertical to encourage screening to drop away from the corrugated mesh one the storm has subsided.
