Enhancing Sugar Beet Processing Efficiency: GN Separation’s GNLW764 Decanter Centrifuges in European Sugar Plants

In the realm of sugar production, particularly within European sugar beet processing facilities, effective wastewater management is paramount. The cleaning process of sugar beets generates substantial volumes of wash water laden with organic matter and fine particulates. Addressing this challenge, GN Separation‘s GNLW764 decanter centrifuges have emerged as a robust solution, optimizing wastewater treatment and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

The Challenge: Managing Sugar Beet Wash Water

Sugar beet processing involves extensive washing to remove soil and impurities, resulting in wastewater rich in suspended solids. Traditional treatment methods often struggle with the high solids content and the need for continuous operation, leading to increased maintenance and operational costs.

The Solution: GN Separation’s GNLW764 Decanter Centrifuges

To tackle these challenges, a European sugar processing facility integrated three units of GN Separation’s GNLW764 decanter centrifuges into their wastewater treatment line. These centrifuges are specifically designed for high-capacity, continuous operation, making them ideal for the demanding conditions of sugar beet processing.

Key Features and Advantages:

  • Large Processing Capacity: Each GNLW764 unit features a 30-inch (760 mm) bowl diameter and a bowl length of 131 inches (3328 mm), enabling it to handle substantial volumes of wastewater efficiently. Scribd+6gnseparation.com+6gnseparation.com+6

  • High G-Force Separation: Operating at a maximum bowl speed of 2612 RPM, the centrifuge generates up to 2900 G, facilitating the effective separation of fine solids from the liquid phase. gnseparation.com+3gnseparation.com+3GN Separation+3

  • Durable Construction: The bowl and screw are constructed from duplex stainless steel (SUS2304/SUS2205), ensuring resistance to corrosion and wear, which is crucial for processing abrasive materials found in sugar beet wash water. gnseparation.com+3GN Separation+3gnseparation.com+3

GN Separation is proud to announce the successful delivery of our Dewatering Centrifuge System to an overseas client. This system includes our high-performance GNLW series Decanter Centrifuge and the GNSJY2000 Chemical Dosing Unit, designed to meet the demanding requirements of wastewater treatment and sludge dewatering applications.

GN Dewatering System: Effective Solution for Fine Particle Separation

In many wastewater treatment processes, simple mechanical separation methods can only remove particles in the range of 2–5 microns. However, ultrafine particles, often present in industrial wastewater, are much more difficult to remove using traditional methods.

GN’s Dewatering System provides an efficient solution by combining a high-speed Decanter Centrifuge with a Chemical Dosing Unit. With this integrated system, ultrafine particles can be flocculated into larger, more easily separable clusters, enabling the centrifuge to achieve optimal separation performance and meet the client’s discharge or reuse requirements.

GNSJY2000 Chemical Dosing Unit: Precision and Efficiency

The GN Chemical Dosing Unit is a compact, easy-to-operate, and low-energy consumption system designed for the automatic preparation and dosing of flocculants. It is widely used in sludge dewatering, solid-liquid separation, and various water treatment processes.

Efficient Chemical Dosing Solutions for Fine Particle Separation in Wastewater Treatment

In wastewater treatment processes, the ability to effectively separate ultrafine particles is crucial for achieving regulatory discharge standards and protecting downstream equipment.  Chemical Dosing Unit plays a vital role in enhancing solid-liquid separation by enabling precise chemical conditioning of wastewater. When paired with a high-speed decanter centrifuge, the GN Chemical Dosing Unit allows for the removal of particles much smaller than 2–5 microns—something that traditional mechanical methods alone cannot achieve.

Compact and Reliable Chemical Dosing for Wastewater Applications

The GN Chemical Dosing Unit is an integral part of GN’s Dewatering System. This unit is designed to prepare, dissolve, and dose flocculants and other treatment chemicals to improve the efficiency of particle separation. With a compact footprint, corrosion-resistant materials, and low energy consumption, it provides both performance and convenience for a wide range of industrial applications.

GN offers two standard models to meet different chemical dosing needs:
