CST Model FS In-Channel Horizontal Drum Screen
CST Model FS Horizontal Drum Screen
CST Horizontal Fine Screens are high-capacity in-channel screening systems designed for efficient removal of fine solids at municipal and industrial inlet works. Installed as part of preliminary treatment, the system protects downstream equipment, reduces blockages, and improves overall plant reliability in high-flow wastewater environments.
The horizontal screening configuration uses either wedgewire or perforated-plate screening elements mounted within a concrete channel or stainless steel tank. Influent is evenly distributed across the screen surface, where solids are retained while screened liquid passes through under gravity. Continuous self-cleaning action ensures stable performance even under fluctuating hydraulic loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
CST screens are commonly used in municipal and industrial wastewater headworks to remove fine solids and protect downstream treatment processes such as pumps, membranes, and clarifiers.
Maintenance requirements depend on site conditions, but CST systems are designed to operate continuously with automated solids removal to minimize manual intervention.
Yes. CST screening systems are suitable for both new installations and retrofit applications, depending on channel geometry and hydraulic conditions.
Key factors include flow rate, channel dimensions, solids loading characteristics, and the required level of downstream protection.
