Innovative Water Screening Solutions
Hydroscreen has been a recognized leader in engineering innovative coanda screen solutions since 1999, delivering custom-engineered systems for liquid-solids separation across diverse industries. Our expertise spans stormwater runoff treatment, agricultural diversions, hydropower intake protection, municipal water pretreatment, and specialized environmental projects. With over 38 years of professional engineering experience, our founder pioneered tilted wire wedgewire screen technology that self-cleans and operates maintenance-free in demanding conditions. We serve municipal, industrial, and government clients globally from our Denver, Colorado headquarters, providing consulting, design, manufacturing, and installation services. Our patented systems remove 90% of sediment .25mm and larger while protecting aquatic life through compliance with state regulations.From the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain to Summitville Superfund cleanup, our solutions combine proven technology with site-specific engineering. We maintain rigorous quality standards using corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel and innovative features like Rubberizer absorbents for organic contaminants. Our engineering assistance extends to feasibility studies and hydraulic diversion design for municipal, agricultural, and industrial applications. With installations handling flows exceeding 1,000 cfs, we guarantee solutions that reduce operational costs while meeting environmental regulations. Our commitment to innovation continues through ongoing development of specialized configurations for evolving water treatment challenges.

Services
Stormwater Runoff Screens
Our stormwater runoff screens utilize tilted wire wedgewire technology to remove floating debris and contaminants without requiring frequent maintenance. These custom-engineered systems handle flows exceeding 1,000 cfs while maintaining compliance with federal water quality regulations. The self-cleaning design significantly reduces operational costs for urban drainage applications.
Agriculture Diversion Screens
Agricultural diversion screens prevent pump and nozzle clogging by removing moss, sticks, and sediment from irrigation water sources. Our self-cleaning systems improve water distribution efficiency while reducing maintenance costs. Available in configurations that accommodate diverse head conditions and site constraints.
Municipal Water Pretreatment
Municipal pretreatment screens remove debris and sediment from water diversions using wedgewire technology with .25mm+ filtration. These corrosion-resistant stainless steel systems require no energy input and reduce plant maintenance costs by preventing filter clogging in wastewater treatment facilities.
Micro Hydro Diversion Screens
Hydropower intake screens protect turbines from debris and sediment damage while excluding fish passage. Our systems feature self-cleaning wedgewire technology that maintains continuous operation in micro hydro applications. Proven effectiveness through case studies with leading turbine manufacturers.
Pump Intake Screens
Submerged cylindrical pump intake screens ensure debris removal while maintaining safe aquatic life approach velocities. Available with copper-nickel alloy construction for biofouling prevention. Systems include air burst backflush technology for efficient maintenance and solar-powered operation options.
