This week, GN Separation achieved a significant milestone by successfully assembling a comprehensive sludge dewatering system for an overseas client in the environmental engineering field. The system comprises a state-of-the-art GNLW364 Dewatering Centrifuge and a complementary 3000L Automatic Polymer Dosing Unit (Model GNSJY3000).

Core Advantages of the GNLW364 Dewatering Centrifuge

The GNLW364 dewatering centrifuge is meticulously designed to maximize sludge dewatering efficiency across both industrial and municipal sectors. Its key strengths include:

1. High-Speed Separation and Exceptional Efficiency

Powered by a variable-frequency drive (VFD), the centrifuge reaches rotational speeds of up to 3,900 RPM, producing centrifugal forces over 3,000 G. This facilitates swift separation of solids and liquids, significantly reducing the moisture content in sludge cakes, depending on the feed's properties. With a 360mm bowl diameter and a 1,420mm length, the centrifuge offers a vast sedimentation area, boosting its processing capacity.

2. Robust Construction and Versatility

The centrifuge's bowl and scroll conveyor are crafted from duplex stainless steel (2205) through centrifugal casting, ensuring outstanding resistance to corrosion even in demanding environments. Critical components like the slurry distribution port, scroll blade, and solids discharge port are reinforced with tungsten carbide plates or bushings, greatly extending the machine's lifespan. Moreover, its compact design makes it easy to integrate into existing treatment systems.

3. Intelligent Automation and Enhanced Safety

The GNLW364 incorporates a PLC-based control system that continuously monitors vibration, temperature, and torque. In case of overload or imbalance, automatic shutdown protocols are triggered to minimize downtime. Additionally, an integrated back-drive system allows for manual bowl rotation during maintenance, enhancing safety.

The GNSJY3000 Polymer Dosing Unit: A Vital Component for Optimal Performance

Effective sludge dewatering requires not only mechanical separation but also chemical conditioning to destabilize colloidal particles and promote better floc formation. The GNSJY3000 Polymer Dosing Unit plays a crucial role in this process:

The GNSJY3000 automates the three-stage polymer activation process: dry powder feeding, wetting, and aging. Its vertical tank design minimizes sedimentation risks, while an in-built stirrer ensures uniform polymer distribution. The unit's low energy consumption makes it ideal for extended operation.

Combined Benefits of the Integrated System: Cost Efficiency and Environmental Compliance

When used together, the GNLW364 and GNSJY3000 deliver unparalleled performance that surpasses their individual capabilities:

• Reduced Chemical Consumption: Precise polymer dosing prevents overuse, cutting operational costs compared to manual systems.
• Improved Cake Quality: Properly conditioned sludge produces denser, more consistent cakes, reducing disposal volumes and associated fees.
• Lower Energy Expenses: The centrifuge's VFD adjusts power output based on feed rates, while the dosing unit's efficient mixing minimizes polymer waste.
• Regulatory Compliance: By achieving higher dryness levels, the system helps clients meet strict discharge standards for water reuse or landfill applications.

Expanding Global Influence with Local Impact

GN Separation's export of this system underscores its growing presence in international markets, particularly in regions facing challenges related to urbanization and industrial waste management. The company's approach of combining rugged hardware with intelligent automation has resonated with clients seeking scalable, low-maintenance solutions.
