Horizontal Plastic Belt POD Screen LWC-04 On Whimpey Creek
Process – Start to Finish • Design ideas • Contact Hydrolox and purchase materials • Overcoming problems during fabrication • Input from engineer • Changes during fabrication • Finding a site for installation • Installation • Monitoring and evaluating screen operation
Need for other types of POD screens • Idea to build a horizontal plastic belt screen • Fabrication crew talking about ideas and materials • Jim Jones contacted Hydrolox and ordered plastic belt materials after discussions with their Engineers • Harvey Goddard assigned to take lead on project
Monitoring and Evaluation • 2.47 cfs design flow • Hydrolox Series 1800 mesh top with 37% open area • 1.10 cfs measured flow • Water level was to low to accurately evaluate both sweeping velocity and velocity through the screen
