Pre Treatment Plant Equipment for Effective Inlet Treatment
Reliable wastewater treatment begins at the inlet. Pre-treatment plant equipment intercepts solids, grit, grease, and floating debris before the flow reaches pumps, pipelines, and biological treatment units. Skipping this stage leads to accelerated wear, blockages, and poor downstream performance.
Durable pre-treatment plant equipment for wastewater and industrial use, built to remove solids and protect downstream treatment systems. We supply the full preliminary treatment sequence including bar screens, grit chambers, grease traps, and flow equalisation basins, each addressing a distinct separation requirement in the treatment train.
At Dutco Tennant LLC, we source water pre treatment systems and pre treatment equipment from established international manufacturers for municipal, industrial, and infrastructure projects across the UAE and GCC, covering all filtration pre treatment equipment needs in the region's most demanding applications.
Built for the Toughest Inlet Conditions
- Intercepts large solids, grit, grease, and floating matter before they reach primary treatment stages of any water pre treatment systems.
- Reduces abrasive wear on pumps, pipelines, and mechanical treatment components throughout the plant.
- Stabilises hydraulic loading across the treatment train by absorbing peak flow fluctuations.
- Available in mechanical, gravity-fed, aerated, and vortex configurations, our filtration pre treatment equipment suits a range of flow capacities and site conditions.
- Suitable for both municipal sewage treatment and industrial effluent management applications across the GCC.
Technical Strength at Every Stage
- Solids Interception: Bar and fine screens within our pre treatment plant equipment capture debris down to 0.5 mm, keeping downstream channels clear.
- Grit Separation: Aerated and vortex-type grit chambers remove sand, gravel, and dense inorganic particles before they damage rotating equipment.
- Grease and FOG Removal: Grease traps and dissolved air flotation units extract fats, oils, and grease, preventing surface fouling in clarifiers and digesters.
- Flow Stabilisation: Equalisation basins absorb peak flow variations, delivering a consistent influent rate to biological and chemical treatment stages.
- Automated Screen Cleaning: Our pre treatment equipment uses mechanically raked drum screen configurations to maintain continuous throughput with minimal manual intervention.
Types
Bar Screens
Intercepts large solids, rags, and plastics at the headworks before they enter the treatment system.
- Available in coarse, medium, and fine bar spacing to match inlet conditions
- Self-cleaning rake mechanism sustains uninterrupted flow
- Suitable for pump stations, inlet channels, and stormwater screening
Rotary Drum Screens
A high-capacity screening solution separating suspended solids and fine grit from the liquid stream within our water pre treatment systems.
- Integrated spray nozzle cleaning maintains consistent screen performance
- Handles higher flow rates requiring fine solids removal at the inlet
- Effective across industrial effluent streams with variable solid compositions
Grit Chambers
Removes sand, gravel, and dense inorganic particles that pass through inlet screens, available in horizontal flow, aerated, and vortex configurations within our pre treatment plant equipment.
- Aerated chambers provide organic wash-out keeping separated grit clean
- Vortex chambers deliver enhanced separation in a reduced plan area
- Screw and rake classifiers dewater and convey collected grit
Grease Traps and Flotation Units
Intercepts fats, oils, and emulsified greases forming an essential part of any filtration pre treatment equipment arrangement for food, hospitality, and industrial facilities.
- Available in below-ground and above-ground configurations
- Gravity-based separation for standard FOG removal applications
- DAF units handle emulsified contaminants that gravity alone cannot separate
Flow Equalisation Basins
Buffers flow fluctuations from diurnal patterns and storm events as part of a complete pre treatment equipment arrangement.
- Submerged mixers prevent solids settlement during low-flow periods
- Valuable in industrial plants with batch-process discharge patterns
- Stabilises inlet load concentrations reducing downstream chemical dosing
