Industrial effluents
Eco-friendly and efficient solutions for industrial wastewater treatment
Industrial effluents pose growing challenges for companies. GEA provides innovative, reliable, and efficient technology for eco-friendly treatment, reducing disposal costs while recovering valuable resources for significant savings.
Effluent treatment challenges in industrial production
In industries like food and beverage, refineries, steel, and paper, high water consumption during various production stages leads to substantial effluent volumes. These effluents can contain a range of pollutants, including organic and inorganic substances, dissolved or undissolved solids, and potentially harmful materials. As contamination levels vary across different effluent types, treatment technologies must be versatile to effectively address these challenges.
Reduce disposal costs and maximize profits with GEA sludge Decanters
GEA sludge Decanters are designed to meet the highest standards of process reliability, hygiene, and environmental protection. Used globally for industrial effluent treatment, these decanters ensure optimal performance while minimizing resource use and maximizing cost efficiency. They efficiently separate solids, dewatering them to a pourable consistency while achieving high dry matter content. The clarified centrate can often be returned to the production cycle, while the dewatered solids can be recycled for valuable materials or disposed of cost-effectively by reducing their volume.
GEA also offers complete industrial sludge dewatering systems, equipped with necessary peripherals for flexible use. These systems are pre-assembled in lorries, trailers, or containers, and are ready for immediate use with automated functionality.
Energy-efficient concentration with GEA evaporation plants
GEA provides highly efficient evaporation technology for environmentally friendly effluent treatment. This process concentrates industrial wastewater into high-level dry substances, with evaporated water being condensed and reused as process water. GEA’s evaporation plants operate using waste heat from peripheral systems, ensuring energy efficiency and demonstrating responsible resource management.
Key advantages:
- Environmentally friendly and highly efficient treatment solutions for industries like breweries, dairies, oil mills, refineries, tanneries, paint shops, wineries, steel, and paper industries.
- High-performance decanters for effective solid concentration and reduced disposal costs.
- Energy-efficient evaporation technology that utilizes waste heat for reliable concentration.
- Mobile, flexible systems for diverse industrial applications
