A tumbler may be used as defluidizer, dryer, coater, classifier, or dynamic filter. The tumbler includes a rotatable drum that receives a solid/fluid slurry through an inlet chute. As the slurry travels through the drum, fluid exits the drum through a plurality of apertures in screens attached to the sides of the drum, while the solids continue along the drum's length until they reach one or more openings and exit the drum into an outlet chute. The outlet chute includes ridges that wrap around rings extending from the openings of the drum to prevent solids from escaping the outlet chute. To further dry the solids before they exit the drum, an air tube at least partially disposed within the drum is configured to introduce a flow of air into the drum.

A feed system for a rotary screen separator has a feed housing and a feed lid movably attached to the feed housing. The feed housing has a feed chamber, an inlet opening, and an outlet opening. The feed chamber defines a proximal portion adjacent to the inlet opening and a distal portion at least a portion of which is adjacent to the an outlet opening. A cross-sectional area of at least a portion of the proximal portion is greater than a cross-sectional area of the distal portion. The feed lid is movably attached to the feed housing such that the feed lid covers the outlet opening in a closed position, and does not cover the outlet opening in at least one open position.

A liner for a filter sub-assembly has a wall having an innermost surface that bounds a cavity extending between opposing first and second ends of the liner. The wall has a deflected portion extending into the cavity and delimiting an opening. The liner may be used in a rotor of a filter assembly.

A liner for a filter sub-assembly has a wall having an outermost surface and an innermost surface. The innermost surface bounds a cavity extending between opposing first and second ends of the liner. A portion of the outermost surface is textured. The liner may be used in a rotor of a filter assembly.

In a water treatment system, which may be a wastewater treatment plant, a single-inlet drum screen is installed with its rotation axis perpendicular to the pattern of flow in a channel. Retrofitting of an existing screening system with a different form of screen, residing in an existing concrete channel is described.
