The invention relates to the treatment of liquid waste such as sewage. The invention provides a method of screening of liquid waste to remove solid material therefrom, comprising passing the liquid waste in a downward stream through a suspended sack filter, and agitating the sack filter and the liquid stream by discharging a stream of bubbles upwardly through the liquid from below the sack filter. The invention also provides an inlet screen, comprising an upright hollow column (1), having an opening at the top across which a sack filter (6) is positioned, the sack filter extending downwardly into the column, and an air diffuser (8) at the lower end of the column, and an outlet (5, 23, 34) from the column, whereby in use liquid waste flows into the top of the column, through the sack filter to the outlet, the sack filter and liquid waste being agitated by discharge of air from the air diffuser. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
An inlet screen, comprising an upright hollow column (1), said column containing liquid and having an opening at the top; a sack filter having an open upper end for receiving waste liquid and a closed lower end, said sack filter being positioned with its open end at or near the opening of the column, the sack filter extending downwardly into the liquid in the column; an air diffuser (8) at the lower end of the column; and an outlet (5, 23, 34) from the column, whereby in use liquid waste flows into the top of the column, said liquid flows through the sack filter to the outlet, the sack filter and liquid in said column being agitated by discharge of air from the air diffuser.
2.
An inlet screen according to claim 1, in which the outlet (5) is from a side wall near the base of the column (1), and includes an upflow pipe (11) to enable the level of liquid in the column (1) to be adjusted.
3.
An inlet screen according to claim 1, in which the outlet (23) includes an internal upflow tube, within the column (1), the upflow tube exiting at its upper end through a side wall of the column (1).
4.
An inlet screen according to claim 1, in which the outlet (34) is through the base of the column (1).
5.
An inlet screen according to claims 1, in which the air diffuser (8) comprises a flexible multi-perforated membrane adapted to expand on inflation with air and thereby to release a stream of fine air bubbles through said liquid.
6.
An inlet screen according to claim 5, in which the membrane of the air diffuser (9) occupies the entire cross-sectional area of the column (1).
7.
A method of screening of liquid waste to remove solid material from a liquid, comprising suspending a sack filter having an open upper end and a closed lower end in the liquid, passing the liquid waste in a downward stream through said open upper end of said suspended sack filter, and agitating the sack filter wherein said liquid flows through said sack filter and the liquid by discharging a stream of bubbles upwardly through the liquid from below the sack filter
