Bar Screen Installation Configurations

Every project comes with its own specific constraints: hydraulics, civil works, operation, maintenance, safety or future expansion. That is why FB PROCÉDÉS supports its customers from the design stage onwards to determine the most suitable layout, whether a pumping station or a channel installation.

Equipment layout is a decisive factor in the performance, reliability and longevity of a treatment installation. Depending on the site configuration, hydraulic constraints and operating objectives, two main installation options are available: pumping station installation and channel installation.

FB PROCÉDÉS designs and supplies solutions precisely tailored to each configuration, taking operating, maintenance and safety constraints into account from the study phase.

Channel Installation of a Bar Screen

Implantation of one bar screen in a canal

Principle of Channel Installation

The automatic Bar Screen is installed across the flow of effluent, with upstream or downstream discharge depending on the model.

Depending on the flow rate and technical specifications, the Bar Screen can either match the full width of the channel or be narrower, in which case a side deflector is fitted.

The Bar Screen is secured at two points:

  • at the base of the upper section, on top of the channel walls, using chemical anchors
  • partly at the low level of the approach bay, on the walls of the channel by mechanical bracing

For an installation in an existing civil engineering project, whether for a first installation or as a replacement for an bar screen existing one, the bar screens FB Processes are designed to adapt perfectly to the existing civil engineering project, thus avoiding any modification to it.

Installation of one bar screen in a straight or circular position

Implanting one bar screen in a post

Principle of implantation in a post

The bar screens vertical FB Process units have the main advantage of taking up little space. This characteristic makes our vertical bar screens units the best solution for installation in a straight or circular position.

The bar screen upright or circular post is designed specifically to suit the depth of the watercourse and the diameter of the post. It bar screen is then simply applied against the wall of the post.

This configuration minimizes the space occupied by the lift bar screen, leaving, for example, enough space to access the station, which is particularly useful for a lifting station, so that access to the pumps can be easily and safely achieved.

The Bar Screen is secured at two points:

  • at the bottom of the upper part, on the top of the post by chemical chevillage
  • in the lower part against the wall of the post by mechanical bracing
