Industrial effluents
Dairies
The average amount of wastewater produced in dairies is currently 1.3 liters per kilogram of milk. This results in significant wastewater disposal costs. GEA sludge Decanters pave the way for significant savings by minimizing the use of fresh water and reducing the volume of residual sludge.
High volume of waste water in the dairy industry
Hygiene is the most important factor in milk processing and the production of dairy products. This inevitably leads to the use of large amounts of water for cleaning purposes. In addition, milk processing, especially evaporation and spray drying, generates significant amounts of wastewater containing volatile milk components, fats and proteins.
Cost savings and efficiency improvements with GEA sludge Decanters
GEA sludge Decanters are ideal for the treatment of dairy wastewater. After aerobic or anaerobic biological treatment of dairy wastewater, the residual sludge is treated with a GEA sludge Decanter. The sludge is efficiently dewatered before the clean water is returned to the process. Transportation and disposal costs are minimized.

Decanter Centrifuge
The decanter’s hour has come as soon as the solids content in the suspension to be processed is particularly high. These machines provide the benefits of high clarifying efficiency and maximum dewatering as well as the separation of liquids with the simultaneous removal of solids. The main requirements in this respect include a high bowl speed, a...

Alcohol-free beer: They want it all – they want less
There was a time when the phrases ‘non-alcoholic beer’ and ‘tastes good’ were seldom used together in the same sentence, particularly by consumers. But low-proof and alcohol-free beers have come a long way – many of them now refreshing drinks in their own right – thanks in no small part to technology from GEA.
