Decant some savings
July 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 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 special
baffle disk design, delivers efficient
performance. A strain gauge torque
measurement provides an accurate,
instantaneous torque reading which
helps improve the process
performance of the decanter. More articles from Alfa Laval Limited: |
