Optimization of Decanter Centrifuge Performance for Chemical Sludge Handling in a Chemical Manufacturing Effluent Treatment Plant: Impact of Suspended Solids Concentration

  • Unique Paper ID: 183249
  • Volume: 12
  • Issue: 3
  • PageNo: 665-667
  • Abstract:
  • This study focuses on optimizing the performance of decanter centrifuges used for chemical sludge handling in chemical manufacturing effluent treatment. By analyzing the impact of suspended solids concentration, the research identifies key operational parameters that enhance separation efficiency and sludge dewatering. Results show that adjusting feed concentration significantly improves cake dryness and reduces energy consumption, making the process more sustainable and cost-effective.
