How to reduce the life cycle cost of your decanter

How to reduce the life cycle cost of your decanter

The three main factors that make up the majority of the operational expenses for wastewater decanters are:

  • Sludge transportation and disposal costs
  • Polymer costs
  • Energy costs

For example, sludge transportation and disposal can represent up to 80% of the life cycle cost of your decanter. The diagram below shows your cost increases with a 1% (nominal) drop in cake dryness (for a large capacity decanter).
