Alfa Laval showcases wastewater solutions for performance, serviceability & sustainability at Ozwater’23

Cities and councils across Australia face the challenge of providing high quality drinking water, wastewater and sewage treatment services to growing communities, while increasing energy efficiency & decarbonisation, circularity and sustainability on the path to Net Zero.

Discover how to balance today’s demands with a future shaped by sustainability, connectivity, rising energy cost and technology innovation to reduce cost, maximise re-use of water and minimise sludge disposal cost.

To reach your sustainability targets, Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) can maximise and maintain the lifetime value of decanter centrifuge equipment to keep it operating in the most cost effective and energy efficient manner.

For replacements, plant extensions and green field projects, operators and engineering consultants need to understand global trends in technological innovation for sludge thickening and dewatering applications to select and design the most efficient products and processes for the sustainable future.

Meet the Alfa Laval team at Ozwater'23 to discuss:

• New types of centrifuges that give better solids control
• Connectivity and IoT based solutions for predictive maintenance
• How to drive cost reduction for decanter centrifuges in your WWTP
• Re-use filtrate with revolutionary Zero Liquid Discharge technology
• Maintenance and upgrading trends to extend your decanter’s lifetime value
