Decanter centrifuges are a well-established technology for sludge dewatering and thickening in the wastewater treatment industry. This technology has been used for decades and it is widely accepted the most efficient means of solid liquid separation. The success of a decanter centrifuge installation relies on many factors outside of the centrifuge itself. These factors include ancillary equipment such as pumps and polymer systems as well as piping, structural, layout, conveyance, and other considerations for operation and maintenance of the equipment.

With decades of experience installing centrifuges in wastewater industry, Centrisys has collected a great deal of knowledge about how best to install the decanter centrifuges and squeeze the most out of the installed units. In this presentation, the key design considerations will be visited, and the lessons learned will be shared to facilitate the collaboration among manufacturers, end users and design engineers in having a successful centrifuge installation.
