Fermentation residues yield high-quality fertilizer
Fermentation residues that result from the fermentation of biomass represent a valuable fertilizer for modern agriculture. However, the residues need to be processed both to reduce the levels of nutrients and to produce a fertilizer that is transportable and marketable. GEA decanters are ideal for this task and offer numerous advantages.
Decanters ensure high degrees of separation for very dry solids
GEA decanters reliably separate the solid particles and dewater them to a dry, free-flowing consistency. Demonstrating high throughput capacity, the decanters can handle large volume flows, and guarantee a high dry matter content in the solids of up to 30 percent. And because the clear centrate water can be recycled back into the fermentation process, the use of fresh water is minimized, which further reduces operating and disposal costs.

Decanter Centrifuge
The decanter’s hour has come as soon as the solids content in the suspension to be processed is particularly high. These machines provide the benefits of high clarifying efficiency and maximum dewatering as well as the separation of liquids with the simultaneous removal of solids. The main requirements in this respect include a high bowl speed, a...
Jet pumps
Jet pumps, also referred to as ejectors, are devices for the conveyance, compression or mixing of gases, vapors, liquids or solids and for the production of vacuum in which a gaseous or liquid medium serves as the motive force.

Innovating for impact: shaping better solutions for customers
Industrial production is being asked to use fewer resources, become smarter and keep equipment productive for longer. At GEA, that is changing how innovation happens: engineering, customer insight, digital expertise and service come together earlier – when a solution can still be shaped at its core.
