With the development of the industrial economy, the discharge volume of industrial wastewater continues to increase, featuring relatively complex water quality components. Consequently, the requirements for wastewater treatment equipment are also constantly rising. As a key piece of equipment in industrial wastewater treatment, the drum filter has become an important choice for many enterprises due to its highly efficient suspended solids removal capability. However, not all drum filters can adapt to the complex operating conditions of industrial wastewater. They must meet multi-dimensional requirements to ensure treatment effectiveness and operational stability.

I. Industrial wastewater treatment Rotary drum filter must meet these core requirements:

The core function of Rotary drum filter is to remove suspended solids from wastewater. They must be tailored to the specific parameters of industrial wastewater to prevent equipment inefficiency or damage.

(I) Performance Matching

1. Matching Filtration Precision with Treatment Capacity

(1) Precision must be determined based on subsequent wastewater treatment requirements: For pretreatment, precision typically requires 30–200 μm; for deep filtration, precision must be ≤10 μm.

(2) Treatment capacity must cover the facility's “maximum wastewater discharge volume plus fluctuation margin” to prevent effluent exceedances caused by influent shock loads.

2. Corrosion Resistance

(1) Material selection must match wastewater pH levels: Neutral wastewater may use 304 stainless steel; Strongly acidic or alkaline wastewater requires 316L stainless steel, carbon steel lined with epoxy resin, or specialized anti-corrosion coatings (e.g., PTFE).

(2) If wastewater contains chloride ions, avoid ordinary carbon steel to prevent “pitting corrosion.” Prioritize duplex steel or 316L stainless steel.

3. Anti-clogging and Contaminant Tolerance

(1) For high-viscosity, scale-prone wastewater, incorporate “anti-adhesion design”: e.g., use smooth polyester/nylon filter media or implement high-frequency backwashing to prevent clogged pores that reduce treatment efficiency.

(2) For wastewater containing fibrous or hair-like contaminants, install a “pre-treatment screen” upstream or adopt a two-stage filtration system with a “coarse-pore pre-filter + fine filter” to prevent debris entanglement around the drum.

(II) Operational Stability

Industrial wastewater treatment requires 24/7 continuous operation, making equipment stability critical.

1. Continuous Operation Capability and Automated Control:

(1) Supports unattended continuous operation: Requires automatic unloading and backwashing to avoid frequent shutdowns for manual cleaning, with a continuous operation rate ≥95%;

(2) Intelligent control system: Enables parameter monitoring via PLC + touchscreen and features “abnormal alarm” functionality.

2. Structural Reliability and Serviceability

(1) Core components must utilize wear-resistant and fatigue-resistant materials;

(2) Equipment must incorporate dedicated “maintenance access points” to minimize downtime for servicing.

(III) Economic Requirements

Industrial wastewater treatment must balance “effectiveness” and “cost,” with equipment meeting economic viability throughout its entire lifecycle.

1. Low Energy and Water Consumption

(1) Operational Energy: Select energy-efficient motors for drum drives, vacuum pumps, and backwash pumps; ensure individual unit power consumption aligns with treatment capacity.

(2) Backwash Water Consumption: Limit backwash water usage to ≤1% of treated water volume. Prioritize designs utilizing “recycled filtered water for backwashing” to minimize fresh water consumption.

2. Low Consumables and Low O&M Costs

(1) Filter Screen Lifespan: Based on wastewater quality, filter screen lifespan must be ≥6 months or 3 months, with low replacement costs;

(2) No Additional Chemical Consumption: Unless required for special needs, equipment should not rely on chemicals to avoid increasing chemical procurement and subsequent sludge treatment costs.

II. Recommended Premium Drum Filter Manufacturers in China: Tailored for Industrial Needs, Each with Core Advantages

Based on the above requirements, a number of domestically based drum filter manufacturers with mature technology and reliable products have emerged. Their products not only meet the core requirements for industrial wastewater treatment but also demonstrate distinct advantages in specialized applications.
