[...]We help you to get rid of fat and grease! Grease concentration in wastewater is usually measured by the content of lipophilic substances. A laborious extraction process is necessary to obtain this analytical value from a composite wastewater sample. Grease contained in wastewater is normally present as a dispersed (suspended) fraction. A small portion of the grease is contained as an emulsion, this can be explained by the use of solvents and rinsing liquors. Depending on the type of sewer (length, drop structures, number of pump stations, screens) it is differentiated between a coarse-particle[...]

Since the transitional period has begun already, it is recommendable to prepare tender specifications[...]

[...]Zell am See, Austria The Austrian municipalities Zell am See and Bruck an der Glocknerstraße operate a water supply facility together which is fed from a spring at 940 m above sea level.

[...]Hämeenlinna, Finland Maintenance costs caused by wear often impair the economic efficiency of centrifuges. Screw presses offer clear advantages in terms of costs and availability. But the operators of screw presses additionally benefit from other advantages. Decanter centrifuges are one of the most frequently used systems for sewage sludge dewatering. Their well known advantages, such as high dewatering degrees even with high throughputs, are due to the effect of the separation of heavy solids and the lighter water phase in the centrifugal environment with the three thousandfold of the [...]
