Sludge dewatering with GEA decanters for efficient and sustainable water management

Volume-reduced sludge reduces costs for disposal and transport

To reliably remove impurities from surface water and seawater, treatment plants are generally preceded by various chemical and mechanical purification processes. Sludge sedimented accordingly, which must be disposed of on the basis of their organic contamination, are accrued here. GEA decanters reliably separate the accrued sludge into solids and reusable water. Thanks to their high dewatering performance, they are able to concentrate the solids to a high content of dry matter, which results in a considerable volume reduction and thus accordingly lower disposal costs. 

Top reliability due to robust structure

To avoid corrosion permanently even in the case of extremely high chloride ion content in the seawater, we use only high-quality materials for the construction of our decanters. All parts that come into contact with the product are therefore made of duplex/superduplex steel and offer maximum reliability.

 Advantages:

• Decanter technology for concentrating sedimented sludge
• Volume-reduced solids with high dry content
• Low transport and disposal costs
• Greater drinking water yield
• Robust structure due to use of corrosion-resistant materials
