Manure decanter for nutrient separation
Transform livestock manure into valuable resources by efficiently separating and extracting nutrients, producing eco-friendly soil amendments and renewable energy feedstock, while reducing environmental impact.
Separates and Extracts Nutrients from Slurry
The GEA Manure Decanter is an advanced separation solution custom-engineered for efficient nutrient extraction and recycling in agricultural and environmental sectors. Utilizing a robust decanting system, it continuously processes livestock manure and industrial sludge into valuable by-products like liquid fertilizers and renewable energy feedstocks. This equipment boasts a separation efficiency of up to 40% nitrogen and 70% phosphate without requiring chemical additives, thanks to its high g-force operation and adjustable bowl speed controlled via a PLC system. Engineered for plug-and-play integration, it simplifies installation with low space requirements and features the energy-efficient GEA summationdrive® for optimal torque management. Available in both mobile and modular configurations, this decanter centrifuge is well-suited for varied applications, from wastewater treatment to biosolid management, ensuring compliant, eco-friendly operations with reduced lifecycle costs.
