Clarifying decanter for waste oil treatment
Handling waste oil, oily sludge, and MARPOL liquids in industrial settings often requires technology that can efficiently separate contaminants. Common methods may fail to provide optimal results due to high maintenance and operational costs, as well as inconsistent performance under fluctuating conditions.

Continuous operation for industrial fluid treatment
The clarifying decanters for industrial fluids from GEA are specialized centrifuges designed for continuous operation. These units are ideal for treating waste oil, oily sludge, and MARPOL liquids in various industrial applications. The decanter features a shallow pond design that ensures minimal power consumption, while the highest g-force guarantees maximum separation efficiency. An innovative, adjustable scroll drive incorporates GEA’s summationdrive with intelligent kinematics for high differential speeds and torques. This setup allows for very sensitive regulation of torque, even amidst fluctuating feed conditions, and automatic adjustment of differential speed due to a frequency-controlled variable speed motor. The device also boasts a gentle feed geometry for optimum flocculation and low wear. All product-contacting parts are constructed from stainless steel, ensuring durability and hygiene. The system is designed for ease of access and maintenance, and an explosion-proof design is available. Depending on the application, the clarified liquid phase can be discharged either by free gravity or under pressure.
