GEA manure Decanter
GEA manure Decanters are designed to address the critical need to reduce the phosphate and nitrogen content of manure, thereby facilitating its environmentally friendly use as a natural fertilizer. Solid particles are efficiently dewatered to a liquid consistency for further processing into a hygienic fertilizer.
As one of our most resource-efficient solutions, our GEA manure Decanter carries the Add Better label.
Best separation of nutrients.
GEA manure Decanters turn manure into a recyclable resource to generate energy and reusable material – with the best possible yield.
The aim is to process the liquid manure, treat the associated nutrient surpluses and make specific use of the resulting products.
