FAQs: Septage Receiver Systems

Or-Tec Septage Receiver Systems for Municipal & Industrial Wastewater

Or-Tec Septage Receiver Systems are designed to safely receive and screen septage directly from hauling trucks before it enters a wastewater treatment plant. Available with either a bar screen or screw screen, the system removes wipes, rags, plastics, grit, and high concentrations of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) while helping protect downstream equipment from clogging and damage. Or-Tec Septage Receiver Systems are engineered for reliable automatic operation, simple maintenance, and long service life in demanding municipal and industrial wastewater applications.

Fine septage screening system: Or-Tec Septage Receiver Systems are fine screening systems that receive and screen septage directly from hauling vehicles before it enters a wastewater treatment plant.

Protects downstream equipment: Removes wipes, rags, plastics, grit, and grease while protecting pumps, piping, and downstream treatment equipment.

Flexible screening options: Systems are available with either bar screen or screw screen technology to suit different plant requirements .

Fine septage screening: Or-Tec Septage Receiver Systems provide fine screening down to 1/8 inch (3 mm), removing wipes, rags, plastics, grit, and grease before they enter the wastewater treatment plant.

Protects downstream equipment: Capturing debris at the receiving station helps protect pumps, valves, piping, and downstream treatment equipment while reducing maintenance and improving plant reliability.

Designed for high-solids waste: The systems are engineered to handle septage, grease trap waste, and other high-solids wastewater streams commonly received at municipal treatment facilities.

No washwater required: Yes. The Or-Tec Septage Receiver Bar Screen operates without washwater or rotating cleaning brushes, helping reduce water consumption and operating costs.

Low-maintenance design: Eliminating washwater and rotating brushes helps reduce maintenance requirements while providing reliable solids removal in demanding septage applications.

Optional screenings washing: When washing and compacting screenings is desired, optional compactor washer systems are available to match the application's requirements.
