Engineers around the world have found rotating belt filters to be an efficient and economical solution to a variety of wastewater challenges due to its flexibility to be arranged in multiple configurations. In new plants, the EcoBELT replaces conventional primary clarification. In existing plants, these filters are integrated to expand primary clarification, as well as relieve solids and BOD loading to the secondary system. By removing this loading from the front end, you automatically improve the performance of secondary and tertiary processes.

Engineers have been able to maximize the use of existing infrastructure while expanding plant capacities by installing the EcoBELT and thus reallocating the capacity of conventional clarifiers to the secondary system. In addition to the flexibility and ancillary plant benefits, the EcoBELT is less than one-fifth of the lifecycle cost of conventional treatment technologies.

The EcoBELT also offers an optional, fully-automated hot water wash to flush fats, oils and greases that accumulate over time, and EcoBELT’s reliable solids dewatering capability also means loading isn’t just diverted, it falls into a dumpster to be disposed of through landfilling, as illustrated by the image at left.
