Process Advantages

The AES 4000 can effectively remove long and short fibers, felt hair, and granular solids from process water.  It can also handle system upsets and slugs, without sacrificing the filtered water quality.  In many applications, upsets to equipment or process upstream of the gravity unit will result in a large increase in fibrous contaminants.  The 4000 Strainer continues to deliver strained water downstream, with a possible temporary rise in reject flow.

Easy Performance Monitoring

The 4000's low pressure shower and drive are easily accessible from the top of the strainer and its construction allows quick and easy monitoring of media conditions and performance.  Removable flow distributors assure an even flow of the influent onto the stationary screen.

Designed for Efficiency

The very efficiency of the AES 4000 is due to the controlled flow over the media surface and the gentle separation forces.  Filtered solids are continuously washed inward to the center of the screen by the strainers rotating shower and discharged into the center reject port.  The screen is returned to full effectiveness without manual attention even after an upset condition is encountered.
