Research Impact
This project evaluated a prototype of a device capable of removing micron-sized particles from wastewater. The dynamic medialess inertial seperator uses boundary layers on rotating disks to dynamically separate particles suspended in fluids. It could be used as a prefilter upstream from other media filters, as a standalone microfilter, or to reduce wastewater turbidity prior to other treatment processes. This device operates on low power levels and could significantly reduce treatment plant energy costs. Published by WERF. Online PDF only.
