Surface sweeping mechanism for removing grease and oils from the wastewater, installed on a metal or concrete tank.
The greases and floating sludge carried by the effluent that arrives in the tank is retained in this mechanism by a screen.
They are floated by large bubbles from diffusers arranged at the bottom of the tank. The sweeping mechanism arranged on the surface extracts them and discharges them outside the tank.
