2.02 SCREENING EQUIPMENT
2.02.1 Mechanically Cleaned Fine Bar Screen Description
A. The bar screen shall consist of a stationary step -type screen, operated by an electric drive unit. The
screen shall operate via a series of stationary and circularly rotating screen bars which are rotated to
remove debris from the screen surface. All metal components, except motors, driveshaft and bearing
housings, shall be Type 316 stainless steel. The screen system shall include a screw wash press to
collect the screenings from the step screen, discharge piping, supports, anchors and all associated
equipment. The screen system shall be automatically controlled based on the differential raw water
level in the influent channel before and after the screen. Being named or bidding as an equal does
not relieve the manufacturer of meeting the requirements specified herein of this Section.
B. The manufacturer selected must stock parts local to the state of installation, including screen bars,
drive motors and gearboxes which can be delivered from stock.
C. The manufacturer shall supply the screen channel with the maximum screening area available. All
structural steel shall be Type 316 stainless steel with a minimum thickness of 0.20 inch. The screen
step blade packages and frame shall be mounted within and above the sewage channel. Easy access
shall be provided for maintenance of the screen from the front and sides of the unit by employing a
pivoting mechanism out of the channel.
D. A control system shall be provided to control the motor in the manner indicated in section 2.02.8.
Motor controls shall be coordinated with the associated motor and shall have properly sized thermal -
overload protective elements or IDEC trips. Except where otherwise indicated, starters shall be
provided in weatherproof, Class I, Division II, enclosures. The step screen motor shall be, isolated
from the channel, and shall be fully enclosed.
2.02.2 Self Cleaning Step Screen Requirements
A. The step screen shall comprise a screen with multiple fixed -parallel and movable bars which are
arranged in a plane, 50 degrees inclined downwards into a flow of water. The movable bars shall be
interconnected in parallel to at least one package of fixed bars, with the blade edges turned into the
wastewater flow. Movement is caused by a drive mechanism which brings about a closed, circular
path in the plane of the bars, including a vertical movement component surpassing the step height of
the bars. The bars must be a minimum thickness as specified bar width indicated in section 1.03.B,
and shall have a contoured hook design; flat steps shall not be allowed.
B. Blades shall have a hinged (non rigid or attached) bottom step to assure passage of flushing sand.
The bottom step mechanisms must actuate with each step action and prevent any opening greater
than the specified spacing of the screen from being exposed. The flap mechanism must move with
each step automatically and shall pump grit from under the feet of the bars to prevent jamming.
Manual flap mechanisms shall not be allowed.
C. The fine screen must give a closed circuit path for a self-cleaning movement across the entire surface
of the screen, in accordance with the principle of counter -flow. Cleaning shall be accomplished

4. Functional description
Principal
Operation
The screen is mounted in an installation angle between 45-50 ° in a channel
or in a stainless steel tank. The edges against the channel or tank wall are
sealed with rubber strips. This means that all water including solids
(screenings) must pass through the screen, where a number of moving and
fixed bars are mounted. As the water passes the bars, the solid particles (the
screenings) remains on the bars forming a screenings mat. The thicker the
mat, the better the separation of small particles. The size of the particles
depends on the slot width and screenings mat thickness.
The screenings mat makes the water level in the channel or tank to rise. At
pre-set water level the screen will start and run for one rotation. When the
machine runs one rotation moving the screenings upwards towards the
discharge, the part of the bars closest to the bottom are clean which
makes a passage for the water. The step shaped bars will step by step
transport the screenings mat upwards towards the top edge where the
screenings finally are discharge down to, for example, a press.
Since a thicker screenings mat helps to increase separation it is very
important that the screen does not run more than necessary. Therefore,
make sure that the default starting level of the level sensor is correct.
The machine is operated by a control panel, which is sometimes included in
the delivery from MN Water Treatment.
Operation and maintenance manual - XS - Fine Screen 110

TM
WATER TREATMENT
PRODUCTS
The level sensor mounted in the channel/tank before the screen gives a
signal to the control panel that the water level has risen to the pre-set start
level. The screen will start and run one rotation to get the water level to
drop. If the level hasn't dropped, the machine will still have start signal and
run one more rotation.

1. The measurement of water levels shall be made prior to purging the wells. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The measurement of
pH shall be made after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters.
2. The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well. The measuring points (top of
casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
3. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) - In November only, analyze by one of the following methods:
a. Standard Method 6230D, PQL at 0.5 gg/L or less
b. Standard Method 621 OD, PQL at 0.5 gg/L or less
c. EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 gg/L or less
d. EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 gg/L or less
e. Another method with prior approval by the Water Quality Permitting Section Chief
Any method used shall meet the following qualifications:
a. A laboratory shall be DWR certified to run any method used.
b. The method used shall include all the constituents listed in Table VIII of Standard Method 6230D.
c. The method used shall provide a PQL of 0.5 gg/L or less that shall be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by the DWR Laboratory Certification Unit. Any constituents
detected above the MDL but below the PQL of 0.5 gg/L shall be qualified (estimated) and reported.
4. If any volatile organic compounds (VOC) are detected as a result of monitoring as provided in Attachment C, then the Washington Regional Office supervisor, telephone number [phone],
shall be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.
5. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/L are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis shall be conducted to identify the individual constituents comprising
this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/L, this concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring TOC
concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
6. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in Figure 1 and this attachment.
7. Annual monitoring shall occur in November.
