Abstract
Micro-straining as an advance treatment of wastewater has been evaluat ed in a half as well as full technical unit. Mesh dimensions of 10, 20 and 40 mu have been used, straining velocities between 10 to 35 m/h h ave been measured and suspended solids retention of 75 - 85 % could be achieved. The investment and operational costs are lower than those o f other systems, e.g. sand filtration.
