Flottweg Nominated for the Innovation Award
The OSE decanter from Flottweg is one of the most innovative products and developments from eastern Bavaria.
The twelve most pioneering ideas and projects were nominated for the Innovation Award of the Wirtschaftszeitung [eastern Bavarian economic newspaper] in 2016. 200 representatives from economy and science chose the winner.
The nomination for the Innovation Award illustrates the pioneering orientation of Flottweg.
With the OSE decanter, the company is creating an innovative and environmentally-friendly way of thickening sewage sludge based on starch polymers.
The starch-based polymeric flocculant (pFM) is an environmentally-friendly alternative to the conventional synthetic pFM.
Only the Flottweg OSE decanter makes using starch polymers in sewage sludge thickening, economical, sustainable and efficient. The decanter centrifuge ensures an optimal sludge thickening and – also by using the starch-based pFM – achieves a separation degree of > 95 %. Very low polymer quantities are enough to achieve a high throughflow with a simultaneously minimal energy expenditure.
