GN Separation has completed the manufacture and delivery of a 14-inch sludge dewatering centrifuge package for a client in Southeast Asia. The project underscores GN's proven capability in delivering integrated solid-liquid separation solutions for both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment.

Meeting Tighter Environmental Standards
Across Southeast Asia, increasingly strict discharge regulations are driving wastewater treatment facilities to adopt more efficient and reliable technologies — particularly for handling complex sludge conditions. Removing fine and ultrafine suspended solids has emerged as a critical challenge in achieving stable effluent quality while keeping treatment costs under control.
Integrated Solution: Centrifuge + Chemical Dosing
GN supplied a complete sludge dewatering system built around a 14-inch high-speed decanter centrifuge, paired with a 1,000L polymer dosing unit. The design integrates chemical conditioning with centrifugal separation to treat difficult wastewater streams more effectively.

Conventional mechanical separation typically handles particles in the 2–5 micron range. By injecting polymer into the sludge stream, the dosing unit promotes aggregation of fine and ultrafine particles into larger flocs. These flocs are then efficiently captured under high centrifugal force inside the decanter — significantly boosting solid-liquid separation performance.
Key Benefits for the Customer
| Benefit | Detail |
|---|---|
| Finer particle removal | Polymer-enhanced flocculation captures particles below the conventional 2–5 micron threshold |
| Lower sludge moisture | Drier discharged cake reduces transport and disposal costs |
| Operational stability | Integrated skid-mounted design simplifies installation into existing systems |
| Regulatory compliance | Improved effluent quality supports stricter discharge standards |
Compact, Skid-Mounted, Ready to Deploy
The 14-inch decanter centrifuge targets small to medium-capacity sludge treatment applications, balancing separation efficiency, reliability, and energy consumption. Its compact skid-mounted configuration allows straightforward installation and easy integration with existing treatment infrastructure — making it suitable across a broad range of industrial settings.
Quality Assured Before Shipment
Prior to dispatch, the complete package underwent rigorous quality inspection and performance testing at GN's manufacturing facility. Every component was verified against project specifications to ensure reliable commissioning and stable long-term operation at the customer site.
Strengthening GN's Southeast Asia Presence
This successful delivery reinforces GN Separation's growing footprint in the Southeast Asian market and demonstrates the company's ability to provide tailored, integrated sludge dewatering systems that improve treatment efficiency, reduce operating costs, and support sustainable environmental performance.
