Static Bar Screen

Static bar screen – mechanically water cleaning

Static bar screens, also called stationary screens or coarse screens are used for mechanically clean or screen water extracted from the sea, rivers or lakes.  Mechanical cleaning removes entrained (floating) matter with screens, sieves or filters. This protects downstream process stages from buildup, clogging and abrasion.

A static bar screen is often the first barrier in a water intake ‘screening train‘ and is intended to withstand and remove all large to relatively small contamination in an open chanel water intake. Debris can be natural (like seaweed and jelly fish, or man-made plastic, etc. )

Hubert is specialized in design, engineering & manufacturing of water intakes.We have several years experience in providing the best screening solution for a water intake.

Water intake systems are used for screening cooling water for power plants and process water for industrial production processes, like refineries & petrochemical plants.  Hubert’s intake screening machines also filter raw or fresh water for drinking or potable water plants, desalination plants, drainage channels, fire fighting channels, irrigation offtakes, food processing plants and mines.
