What Is A Rotary Vacuum Filter

Per Wikipedia, a Rotary Vacuum Filter consists of a drum rotating in a tub of liquid to be filtered. TheALAR Auto-Vac is a rotary vacuum drum precoat filter is exactly that…it effectively removes solid particles from the sludge, producing dewatered waste. Typically, this waste is disposed of at a local landfill without further drying.  The Auto-Vac is self-cleaning with every revolution, which prevents blinding or clogging, and provides rapid filtration and extremely high filtrate clarity.

The Auto-Vac Features:  16 Filter Sizes  -  Reduces Hauling Costs  -  Easy Operation  -  Quality Water & Dry Solids  -  Environmental & Economical Solutions  -  Absolute Microfiltration

Ideal For: Total Suspended Solids  -  Metals  -  Biological Oxygen Demand

Industries:  Concrete  Flexographic Printing  -  Food & Dairy  -  Grease & Septic  -  Metal Finishing  -  Paint & Coatings  -  Hydraulic Fracturing  / Oil Drilling Fluids…as well as many others

Municipal Disposal Done Right

Dean Trevaskis pumps and hauls commercial greasetrap, residential septic, portable toilet and wine lees near the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern California.

In 1999, with several disposal sites closing or raising their discharge fees, Trevaskis opened a private processing plant to dewater over 3.5 million gallons of sludge a year.  The plant turns a profit, and Trevaskis sees a lot of potential for growth and may one day move away from pumping and concentrate solely on the processing business.

Trevaskis was excited to share what he’s learned by hosting an open house this past October (2011) in conjunction with a wastewater sysmposium held by COWA and NAWT.  Sierra Septic showcased their 12-year-old ALAR system consisting of a Rotary Auger Strainer, Super Sack Unloading System and Auto-Vac AV690 Rotary Vacuum Drum Precoat Filter.

June is National Dairy Month

Does your wastewater contain any of the following:

  • Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
  • Fat, Oil & Grease (FOG)
  • Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)
  • Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
  • Restaurant Greasetrap
  • SBR (Bio Bug) Digester Sludge
  • DAF Sludge

What are you doing to treat it??
