Hydrodynamic screws - Cee-Environmental

Why use a hydrodynamic screw?Fossil fuels can be saved by means of theenvironmentally-friendly use of this source ofenergy. In this process the hydrodynamic screwcan be ideally inserted into the environment– without having a disruptive effect.Varying water heads and varying water flowrates upstream and downstream of the screwonly marginally affect the efficiency and haveno effect on the function or operation of thehydrodynamic screw.With hydrodynamic screws, even minimumhydrodynamic potentials at powers from 1 kWcan be made use of economically.Energy losses due to a decrease in the heightof fall or flow losses are thus avoided.Due to the large jaw settings of the upstreamcoarse screens the rakings’ quantities that areincurred – and thus the waste disposal costs– are greatly reduced.Small hydrodynamic facilities hide an immensepotential for extracting natural energy fromwater power.Another positive aspect is that the water becomesenriched with oxygen, which in turn improvesthe quality of the water downstream.With hydrodynamic screws, fine screeninginstallations for protecting against floatingobjects and fishes, needed for turbines, canbe done without: The parts washed up andfish can pass through the screw unhinderedand unharmed.
