Industrial effluents
Dairies
The average amount of wastewater produced in dairies is currently 1.3 liters per kilogram of milk. This results in significant wastewater disposal costs. GEA sludge Decanters pave the way for significant savings by minimizing the use of fresh water and reducing the volume of residual sludge.
High volume of waste water in the dairy industry
Hygiene is the most important factor in milk processing and the production of dairy products. This inevitably leads to the use of large amounts of water for cleaning purposes. In addition, milk processing, especially evaporation and spray drying, generates significant amounts of wastewater containing volatile milk components, fats and proteins.
Cost savings and efficiency improvements with GEA sludge Decanters
GEA sludge Decanters are ideal for the treatment of dairy wastewater. After aerobic or anaerobic biological treatment of dairy wastewater, the residual sludge is treated with a GEA sludge Decanter. The sludge is efficiently dewatered before the clean water is returned to the process. Transportation and disposal costs are minimized.

Control tops
The T.VIS® control top is an optimal system for controlling and monitoring GEA valves of the series VARIVENT®, ECOVENT® & T-smart.
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...
Dewatering & Thickening Decanter
Dewatering and thickening decanters from GEA are continuously operating horizontal solid bowl centrifuges for efficient sludge treatment and economical volume reduction. The frame is of open design with either gravity or pressure discharge of the clarified phase.
Hygienic valves & components
Hygienic valves from GEA form the core component of matrix-piped process plants. Thanks to a pioneering valve concept that sets standards for its flexibility, as well as the latest control and automation functions, our valves offer manufacturers maximum product safety and process reliability. All GEA hygienic valves are designed to be efficient a...
