Technician in a wastewater treatment plant during mechanical precleaning

Mechanical wastewater precleaning Reliable processes for the removal of impurities

Good mechanical precleaning is a prerequisite for low-wear and low-maintenance operation of the entire wastewater treatment plant. Removing solid particles from raw wastewater and sludge protects downstream process stages from clogging and sedimentation.

Discover particularly robust hardware adapted to the conditions as well as software solutions for the regulation and control of field devices. For monitoring drives in potentially explosive areas, we provide you with tailored communication solutions.

Low-wear and low-maintenance first cleaning stage

Efficient mechanical wastewater treatment is a prerequisite for the reliable operation of the entire wastewater treatment plant. Removing solid particles from raw wastewater and sludge protects downstream process stages from clogging and sedimentation. Phoenix Contact provides solutions for mechanical precleaning that satisfy these high demands and ensure that the process operates seamlessly. These include modular control solutions, intrinsically safe input and output modules, communication solutions, as well as an industry-specific software library.

Our solutions for your processes

Intrinsically safe signal acquisition

Protect against explosions

Due to unforeseeable events, such as unauthorized wastewater discharge, digestion processes or accidents, wastewater treatment plants always represent an explosion hazard. Coarse and fine screens are particularly explosive systems in wastewater technology plants. Intrinsically safe signal acquisition is ideal for protecting these areas.

Phoenix Contact provides a comprehensive product range for the Ex area. You install your I/O station simply and safely in zone 2. The sensors and actuators are separated from this and installed in zone 0, 1, or 2 as required.
