After almost four years of design review, a major city in the northern Midwest has decided to use Brackett Green® CF 200® Band Screens and the MacerAcer® Screenings Conditioning process. The initial design will implement 3 of 4 "CF 200" Band Screens each capable of passing 60 MGD with 5mm screen apertures, essentially making this the country's largest fine band screen installation on the head works of a waste water treatment plant.

The owner and the final design engineer spent almost a year specifically reviewing different types of screens, flow patterns, cleaning methods and ways to treat the concentrated screenings. Brackett Green worked closely with closely with the owner and engineer to demonstrate the clear advantages of both the CF 200 and MacerAcer. Virtually every aspect of each product was examined and critiqued from the point of functionality, space requirements, utility consumption, wear, corrosion, maintenance, reliability, cost and most importantly - sites with similar sized equipment and their history. At the end of the day, Brackett Green's equipment was select based on longevity and cost.

The CF 200 Band Screens will provide the owner with proven reliable fine screens that require only wash water for cleaning with no secondary brushes thus reducing operating and maintenance cost. The MacerAcer will reduce the overall end product volume by as much as 5 times as compared to washing screw compactors, thus saving the owner thousand of dollars per annum in disposal cost. The equipment is due for delivery in the summer of 2004 with start up later in the year.
