Rotary drum screens BFRD / BFGD type.
Perrier Sorem gravity filters are designed to protect downstream hydraulic equipments such as river or sea water pumping stations. These filters are used to efficiently respond to the difficult operating conditions found in industry or in power stations.
When the filtering band is clogged, a pressure drop detector integrated into the filter triggers the rotation of the filter as well as the counter-current washing system. The waste is then evacuated by a washed-water collector. The pressure drops then decreases to its initial value.
Perrier Sorem gravity filters are available in 304L, 316L or duplex stainless steel and can be optionally fitted with electrical control cabinet, pressure drop detector and cathodic protection.
A gear motor with one or two speeds driving a ring gear or rollers fixed on the rim of the drum allows its rotation. During this rotation, the waste retained outside are rejected by the jets of the washing ramp towards a discharge washed-water collector.
The direction of the water flow with Perrier Sorem drum filters is from the outside to the inside.

Perrier Sorem filter drums are suitable in all cases where the water levels variations are relatively low.
The filter drum is placed upstream of the pumps of the pumping stations or on potable water treatment stations.
It is installed in the axis of the flow.
The filter gradually clogs with the accumulation of retained waste, which creates an increase in pressure drop. This is controlled by a pressure drop detector associated with the drum.
When the pressure drop reaches a preselected value, the drum gear motor is energized and starts to rotate. The wash system opens and backwashes the filter cloth. Once the pressure drop returns to its initial value (clean filter cloth), the gear motor and the washing water circuit are automatically shut down at the end of the time delay until the next washing cycle.
The BRFD and BFGD drums filters have a similar construction but contrary rotating directions:
