Reliable centrifugal separation performance under extreme conditions. Power stations, co-generation facilities and cement plants often use wet scrubbing processes for the desulfurization of their flue gases. These systems generate large quantities of gypsum slurry. Separating this gypsum by-product in our vertical centrifuges allows the scrubber liquid to be recycled and the recovered gypsum to be used by the construction industry as a filler material or to make wallboard.
Over 400 Krauss-Maffei vertical centrifuges are in operation for this application, proving their performance around the clock even under the most severe conditions.
Krauss-Maffei vertical centrifuges outperform belt filters in every aspect:
- Lower power consumption reduces the operating costs.
- Lower residual moisture saves substantial amounts of energy in the gypsum drying system.
- Minimum space requirement - a centrifuge installation requires only 1/3 of the building space of a comparable belt filter plant.
- Higher online reliability with less spare capacity.
- Clean, quiet operation with a totally enclosed system gives operators a better work environment.
