Initial Concepts & Designs Created

In 2007, the inventor (Fred Davis) created initial concepts and designs for a compact wastewater inlet screen to remove debris and grit from incoming flow to treatment works.

Design benefits included low hydraulic loss, reduced impact-damage and clogging. It used contemporary and novel techniques.

The sewage screen eliminated the requirement for additional grit removal, greatly removing carbon footprint.

The new concept costs less to build, install and maintain due to its enhanced debris capture ratio.
