Dewatering decanter range completed
Westfalia Separator announces the launch of the new UCD 345 dewatering decanter, aimed primarily at the municipal waste water treatment plants or for use in larger industrial waste water facilities
These are specially designed for dewatering municipal and industrial wastewater sludge and for the first time decanter technology is replacing existing strainer belt presses in Beijing.
At the core of the project are ten UCA 755 decanters for dewatering.
Additional equipment such as pumps, conveying devices, flocculent installations and an extremely modern MCC type switching installation with plug in technology was also supplied.
The decanters and additional devices were delivered in March 2004.
The first six UCA 755 decanters are already installed and operating in the northern area of Beijing treating 200,000m3 waste water per day in the first stage with capacity to rise to 400,000m3 per day by mid 2005 when all decanters will have been commissioned.
All specified process values have been met and there has been excellent co-operation with all Chinese concerns and Westfalia Separator Umwelttechink.
400,000m3 is the equivalent volume of 160 Olympic sized swimming pools per day and the treated waste water will be used for feeding the lake in the Olympic Village.
Westfalia Separator technology is helping Beijing to achieve the Olympic success China seeks in 2008.
