Bar Screen Chamber 

  • The bar screen chamber is used to separate plastics and other non-decomposable matter from incoming waste water to prevent clogging of pipelines and pumps thereby causing break-downs.
  • The bar screen chamber consists of two screens i.e., a coarse screen followed by a fine screen which are inverted at an inclined angle.
  • These are followed by a platform to support the weight of three people. The platform is used by the workmen to remove the plastic etc using a rake. This is done on a regular basis to prevent clogging of the screens.
  • The bar screen chamber is to be at a suitable overflow height to the equalization tank.
