Intelligent monitoring. Optimized performance.
GEA Flocmix® Sensors combine continuous centrate monitoring with intelligent process control to optimize sludge dewatering performance. The maintenance-free centrate sensor continuously monitors centrate quality, providing real-time data for the centrate controller to respond dynamically to changing process conditions.
The intelligent controller uses key process parameters, including sludge flow rate, solids content and polymer solution concentration. Additional centrifuge data, such as differential speed, torque and pressure, can also be integrated to support precise process control.
By automatically adjusting control parameters within defined operating limits, the system helps maximize dry solids content while minimizing polymer consumption and solids losses in the centrate. Potential centrifuge overloads can also be detected and addressed, supporting stable and reliable separation performance.
With continuous monitoring and automated adjustments, GEA Flocmix® Sensors reduce operator intervention, chemical consumption and operating costs. The result is efficient sludge dewatering, improved plant performance and a rapid return on investment.

The water equation
Across Europe, drought is a recurring reality – and no longer confined to the south. While water increasingly shapes where industries locate, its value is determined by local context. There are many technological routes to water efficiency in industrial processes, but location, energy needs and other factors are also key.
