The TurboWash agitator creates a highly turbulent mixing regiment zone in a channel or tank (similar to the water around a propeller on a motor boat), immediately preceding the screening equipment. Wastewater enters the agitation zone and is heavily mixed. The turbulent zone of influence created by the TurboWash agitator loosens and emulsifies the organic BOD material attached to the screenings allowing the soluble and fine particulate BOD material to pass through the screen openings. Additionally, the screenings device intermittently runs backward, thus pushing retained solids back into the turbulent zones, exposing them to further turbulent actions in order to dislodge the biological particles.

The TurboDrum IN is installed in a channel at a 35 degree angle. For pressure feed applications, the same unit can also be installed as a self-contained TurboTank system. The operation cycle controlled by monitoring differential head loss across the screen is performed by rotating the basket with the process flow entering the internal diameter of the screen and exiting through the screen elements to the outside. The screenings are retained on the internal surface of the screen by paddles fixed longitudinally to the inner screen surface which carries the material to the top where it is sprayed and falls into the receiving hopper. The receiving hopper spiral conveys the screenings material through the optional washing and compaction zone and discharge outlet.

The TurboTank is the stand-alone version of the TurboWash which includes the TurboWash and Spiralman screen, suitable for large volume screenings washing, ie: flow through a sluice trough.

The TurboStat sidehill static screen is one of the simplest and most economical methods for solids separation. All units feature a stainless steel wedge wire filtration surface. The working principle is based on a liquid current circulating over the screen`s curved surface. This surface, made up of long triangular metal bars (wedgewire), provides a sequence of edges for cutting the flow, allowing the free liquid to drain through the reduced slot openings while retaining the screened solids at the base of the screen.

The Headworks Turbudrum IH horizontal drum screen is a unique, in-channel, rotary screen suitable for fine screening of sewage and industrial effluent. It is the ideal solution for large applications requiring fine screens with openings as fine as 1mm and no carryover. This equipment is available in a wide range of hydraulic and separation capacities to allow customizing for the most effective solution for your application.

Headworks Integrated Treatment (HIT) System The world’s MBBR/IFAS technology experts at Headworks BIO have developed a smarter way to treat wastewater for reuse. The result is the Headworks Integrated Treatment (HIT) System: a modular, compact wastewater treatment system designed for smaller communities and industries. The HIT System provides a complete solution – screening, grit removal, MBBR or IFAS treatment, clarification, tertiary filtration, and disinfection – all with low capital investment and operational costs.

Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) processes improve reliability, simplify operation, and require less space than traditional wastewater treatment systems. MBBR technology employs thousands of polyethylene biofilm carriers operating in mixed motion within an aerated wastewater treatment basin. Each individual biocarrier increases productivity through providing protected surface area to support the growth of heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria within its cells. It is this high-density population of bacteria that achieves high-rate biodegradation within the system, while also offering process reliability and ease of operation. This technology provides cost-effective treatment with minimal maintenance since MBBR processes self-maintain an optimum level of productive biofilm. Additionally, the biofilm attached to the mobile biocarriers within the system automatically responds to load fluctuations.
