ALDEC-G3_decanter_front_640x360.png

The Alfa Laval ALDEC G3 features the same technology as ALDEC G3 VecFlow™, except for the feed zone.

An Alfa Laval ALDEC G3 can be upgraded to the VecFlow™ design.

ALDEC G3 is available with capacities from 23 to 225 m3/h.

 

Decanter for wastewater - benefits

  • Ideal for demanding sludges with high solids loading
