Optimizing performance beyond human capability
Revolutionizing sludge dewatering with smart automation.
Wastewater treatment plants are essential for our modern lives. But how can their operation be continuously advanced and improved? What has long been a challenge in terms of optimization has now been achieved: the automatic control of decanters for sludge dewatering. The smart solution from GEA Intellicant® operates these decanters better than humans were previously able to.
Christian Schramm, head of service business model management at GEA, told us more about the full potential of these smart machines in an interview.
