METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING WATER AND CONTROLLING EFFLUENT SURGES PRODUCED BY DISC AND DRUM FILTERS

摘要

A disc filter is provided having a controller for controlling effluent surges that are produced by the disc filter. The method entails sensing one or more process variables that are a function of the effluent, and based at least in part on the sensed process variables, the disc filter controls the flow of effluent in order to control or minimize effluent surges.
