GEA environmental Decanter pro

Wed, 24 Nov 2021 11:35:45 GMT

GEA environmental Decanter pro are optimized decanter centrifuges designed for high dewatering performance in waste water treatment. The high degree of standardization and the modular, compact design of the pro line ensure economical lifecycle costs and simple integration into established processes. GEA environmental Decanter pro are offered in nine machine sizes with throughput capacities from 1 m³/h to 120 m³/h - also as a skid, mobile or retrofit solution.

Supporting decanter centrifuge customers

Thu, 27 Feb 2020 13:52:34 GMT

At GEA we believe in supporting our decanter centrifuge customers and providing on-site sample testing and process optimisation for maximum machine performance. Through calculating total solids throughput, we ensure cost effective machine specification and through suspended solids testing we can evaluate the mass balance and potential volume reduction with associated financial savings. Analysing nutrient separation allows farmers to easily calculate and manage land application rates.

The value of efficient separation

Thu, 27 Feb 2020 13:49:37 GMT

Defining decanter performance and calculating separation efficiency is invaluable to our customers in all markets. We have customers in all industrial, municipal and agricultural dewatering processes, each have found their own value in these trials and valuable insights.

On-site sample testing and performance optimisation

Fri, 14 Feb 2020 11:45:54 GMT

In the UK, GEA decanter centrifuge customers can have on-site sample testing. Alongside a trial, tests that we perform can provide valuable insight into the process and help identify areas of value to the customer. These include nutrient analysis, total and suspended solids testing and additive trials.

Prosiectslyri Project Coleg Sir Gâr, Wales

Thu, 27 Jun 2019 13:55:40 GMT

UK government has released guidance for farmers and landowners on rules they must follow if their land is in a nitrate vulnerable zone (NVZ), areas at risk from agricultural nitrate pollution. Farmers to comply with rules around storing, spreading and separating slurry including being able to store everything produced during a period of 5-6 months (depending on the animals they keep). So storage or transporting off farm is costing farmers more then a piece of mind they are protecting the environment. The solution is powered by GEA dewatering separator which is currently in operation at Gelli Aur College Farm, Coleg Sir Gâr, in Wales. In partnership with Power & Water, the Prosiectslyri Project received funding through the Welsh Government and will apply proven concept technology to reduce air and water pollution while also reducing the volume of slurry by up to 80%. A de-watering and purification system is used to filter slurry, transforming the water to a suitable quality for recycling or discharging to a clean watercourse while utilising nutrients to produce good quality fertilizer.

Prosiect Slyri - Slurry Project Wales

Thu, 27 Jun 2019 09:19:31 GMT

Prosiect Slyri Slurry Project in Wales, UK looks to reduce farm waste and address the agricultural industry's impact on the environment by developing a dewatering and purification system to manage slurry on farms. With the intensification of the dairy industry, slurry management is becoming an increasing issue for farmers. Driving the project are Coleg Sir Gâr’s Gelli Aur agricultural campus and Power & Water, a Swansea based company specialising in electrochemical-based water treatments. Project received funding through the Welsh Government and applies innovative and proven concept technology to reduce air and water pollution to reduce the overall volume of slurry by up to 80%. A de-watering and purification system is used to filter slurry, transforming the water to a suitable quality for recycling or discharging to a clean watercourse while utilising nutrients to produce good quality fertilizer. This process will reduce storage of slurry on farms as well as handling costs. Efficiently extracting nutrients from manures could save on the cost of commercial fertilizers and reduce serious environmental impact. The project aims to design, develop and validate economically viable systems that will be made available commercially and used on farms.

Efficient crude oil dehydration with GEA centrifuges

Tue, 20 Mar 2018 14:22:17 GMT

Removing water and solids from crude oil with traditional gravity settlers and strainers gets progressively harder as crudes become denser, more viscous, and more laden with solids and salts.
Centrifugal separators spin at high-speed to remove water, salt and solids from oil efficiently and effectively. Due to the high separation efficiency, the centrifuges have no trouble separating the high viscosity oil from the water, even though the API grade of the oil is low.

GEA varipond® system

Tue, 07 Jun 2016 11:13:10 GMT

With GEA varipond®, which stands for “variable pond depth” with a running decanter centrifuge, GEA is offering a patented energy and resource-saving optimization solution for the treatment of sludge and wastewater.
The control and regulating system simplifies the infrastructure of the centrifuge and guarantees a stable discharge concentration.
