As part of the first phase of a multi-year rehabilitation and improvement project for the Pan American Wastewater Treatment Plant, Utilities budgeted for the replacement of two of the four bar screens at the plant's headworks. The headworks are the point of entry for all influent wastewater that enters the plant from the collection system and provides the initial steps in the treatment process by removing troublesome and recognizable solids, so they do not cause harm or damage to downstream equipment and processes. The four bar screens provide this initial and critical step prior to wastewater moving into the biological process of the treatment plant.
Parkson Corporation is the manufacturer of all four bar screens currently in place at the headworks of the plant. Replacing two (2) of the four (4) with like-kind OEM replacement parts allows Utilities to ensure compatibility with the existing equipment and to avoid engineering, programming and fabrication costs that would be incurred if an alternative brand is used.
