The first screening can be done as usual with a bar screen or so. That will separate the bigger unwanted particles like plastic, condoms, sanitary towels and most of the human hairs. The cellulose fibres are much smaller. These can be filtered out by the use of a fine-screen. This was first discovered when fine screening was used as a pre treatment for MBR installations in The Netherlands.  Research focusses mostly on the recycling of the cellulose. However it is worth to keep in mind that by removing cellulose fibers from the influent, the COD load to the WWTP is also reduced. This lead to less electricity consumption in the aerated circuit. Also a very good thing for the environment.  More info: www.solis.nl/producten/fijnfilter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Kd-rui0_YI
