Biosolids decanter for municipal sludge treatment
In municipal waste management, managing sewage sludge efficiently is crucial to reduce disposal costs and environmental impact. Traditional methods often fall short in terms of energy consumption and sludge volume reduction, necessitating more efficient and specialized technologies.

Optimal dewatering and thickening of municipal sludge
The GEA biosolids Decanter is a continuously operating centrifuge with a horizontal solid-wall bowl designed specifically for the dewatering and thickening of municipal sludge. This decanter stands out with its high g-force for optimal separation and process-optimized torque control, leading to significantly reduced sludge volumes. The deep pond design maximizes separation efficiency while the gentle feed geometry promotes ideal flocculation, resulting in minimal wear. Constructed with stainless steel parts, it ensures durability and requires minimal space. The decanter is also easily accessible for maintenance, making it practical for continuous operation.
