| Product Overview | The rotary drum microfilter is a mechanical filtration unit for reducing suspended solids in pretreated livestock wastewater. Water passes through fine filter media mounted around a rotating drum, while retained particles are removed by an automatic backwash system. It can be integrated into a commercial pig farm wastewater treatment line for effluent polishing or to protect downstream filtration equipment. Feed suitability and the required treatment stage depend on wastewater testing and the overall process design. |
| Key Features |
|
| Structural Components | A typical unit comprises a supporting frame or tank, cylindrical drum, replaceable filter media or panels, drum drive, inlet and filtrate outlets, backwash spray header, solids collection trough, reject outlet, level sensor and control panel. Covers, access platforms and connection details can be specified according to the installation layout. |
| Working Principle | Pretreated wastewater enters the drum and flows through the filter media. Suspended solids remain on the inner surface while filtrate passes into the surrounding collection area. As retained solids increase the water level, a sensor initiates drum rotation and backwashing. Spray water dislodges the solids into a collection trough for discharge through the reject connection. The filtration and cleaning sequence is controlled according to the selected equipment configuration. |
| Technical Specifications |
|
| Applications | Applicable to engineered wastewater treatment systems at commercial pig farms, livestock production sites and agricultural facilities. Potential duties include polishing clarified or biologically treated effluent and reducing particle loading ahead of downstream filters. Raw manure slurry generally requires appropriate solids separation and other pretreatment before fine drum filtration. |
| Customization Options | Filtration area, media selection, inlet and outlet orientation, backwash controls, enclosure and structural support can be coordinated with the treatment process and available floor space. The installation can be designed according to local climate and farm conditions, including integration with a steel structure wastewater treatment building where required. |
| Installation & Maintenance | Provide a level equipment foundation, suitable inlet and outlet elevations, a reject drain, electrical supply and access for removing filter panels. During commissioning, check drum rotation, water levels, backwash coverage and control response. Routine maintenance includes inspecting and cleaning spray nozzles, checking media for damage, and servicing the drive and sensors according to the supplied equipment instructions. |
