A High-Performance Centrifuge for Sewage Treatment Plants
Sewage sludge dewatering offers savings potential for sewage treatment plants.
In 2018, Flottweg developed the Xelletor series specifically for high-level dewatering. It sets new standards in terms of throughput, dry matter, and polymer and energy consumption. The X7E is the largest decanter centrifuge in the X-series and is designed primarily for use in large sewage treatment plants serving a population equivalent of 200,000 or more and an associated maximum throughput capacity of 60 to 140 m3/h (264 to 616 gpm). Tests carried out at customer sites also demonstrate that the X7E not only excels in relation to high throughput, but also impresses as a performance-enhanced machine in terms of energy efficiency.
"The bigger the sewage treatment plant, the more money that can ultimately be saved. Therefore, parameters such as dry matter, power consumption or polymer consumption are critical for large sewage treatment plants," explains Tobias Meßmer, Product Manager for Decanters. "In this context, the X7E offers the optimal solution. "
