Decant some savings
August 1st 2010 The ALDEC G3 decanter centrifuge
from Alfa Laval is reported to
provide power savings of up to 40%
coupled with reduced environmental
impact thanks to significant savings
in overall CO2 emissions.
Developed for sewage sludge
dewatering operations, it combines
peak performance at all times with
reliable and controllable operation,
says the company. The slim-line
design significantly improves solids
handling and helps maximise
performance. The bowl incorporates
specially developed power plates that
harness and exploit the energy in the
centrate discharge to contribute to
the bowl rotation, thereby reducing
overall power requirements.
In addition, Alfa Laval's 2Touch
control system ensures simple,
reliable process optimisation.
The ALDEC G3 design includes
features like a steep cone angle and a
progressive pitch conveyor design
which, combined with the unique
baffle disk design, deliver superior
performance. A strain gauge torque
measurement provides a very
accurate, instantaneous torque
reading which helps improve the
process performance of the decanter. More articles from Alfa Laval Limited: |
