Practical test Xelletor
Rainer Moosner, Service Manager at Flottweg, gives an insight into his experience with the new decanter centrifuge.
How does our Xelletor decanter centrifuge perform in real-life tests? What are the benefits?
The clear benefits offered by our Xelletor range are demonstrated by a higher dry matter content and lower polymer and power consumption. At one wastewater treatment plant, for example, a 2.5% higher dry matter content was achieved. With two machines, the treatment plant could save disposal costs of 200,000 EUR per year.
In our tests, we determined that we could achieve either a higher dry matter content or lower polymer consumption. However, the Xelletor decanter centrifuge always reduces power consumption by virtue of its design.
That said, savings could be made in polymer consumption and DM content could be increased at the same time. This depends on the sludge feed rate. The more efficiently the sludge is dewatered, the better the results.
