The acquisition of Hycor liquid/solid separation products by Parkson, of Lake Bluff, Ill., in March 2001 has created the most comprehensive line of screening equipment in the world. Particularly unique is the Monoscreen Escalating Channel Screen with a capture rate of 30-50 percent greater than a traditional steeping screen design. The increase in capture rate is a direct result of the screen’s high tech design. The company is a provider of systems and components for applications in municipal water and wastewater.
