To minimize downstream maintenance problems and improve aesthetics in downstream processes, there is a growing tendency to install screens with finer openings. In addition, some newer wastewater treatment processes, such as membrane bioreactors and biological aerated filters, require screen openings in the range of 3 mm or less.

There are a number of fine screen technologies available and selection of the most appropriate technology requires careful consideration of site specific objectives and constraints. When using fine screens, a careful review of the screenings handling systems is also required to minimize the overall volume of screenings, reduce captured fecal matter and reduce odours.", pages = "4339-4349", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/wef/wefproc/2005/00002005/00000011/art00015", doi = "doi:10.2175/193864705783866586" }
