Sludge decanter for industrial wastewater treatment
Efficiently reclaim valuable resources from wastewater and industrial sludge with a high-performance decanter centrifuge, designed to tackle the challenges of dewatering and thickening processes while optimizing your production line.
The GEA sludge Decanter is an advanced centrifuge designed for wastewater and industrial sludge treatment. This continuously operating machine employs deep pond and gentle feed geometry to maximize separation efficiency while minimizing wear. Suitable for applications like biosolids management, manure processing, and fermentation residue separation, it produces end-products such as reclaimed water and nutrient-rich effluents. With customizable configurations, the decanter handles varying capacities and integrates seamlessly into existing production lines. Its energy-efficient design includes the GEA summationdrive® for optimized energy use, saving up to 60% compared to previous models. Built with stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance, it supports easy maintenance and operation, ensuring longevity and reliability.
