ALDEC

Alfa Laval ALDEC decanters bring high separation efficiency, reliable operation and low operating costs to all types of water and wastewater treatment plants. ALDEC is Alfa Laval’s medium range of decanters for wastewater treatment, comprised of a wide variety of sizes. Low power and polymer consumption in combination with easy service makes ALDEC very attractive in terms of total cost of ownership.

ALDEC is available with capacities from 3 to 125 m³/h.

Decanter for wastewater - benefits

High separation performance
Low power consumption
Highly reliable operation
Upgradable to G3 or G3 VecFlow™
Replaceable wear protection tiles
PowerTubes
Easy to service

Limitations

Higher Power consumption than ALDEC G3 and ALDEC G3 VecFlow™
Larger footprint than i-DW

ALDEC G3

The Alfa Laval ALDEC G3 features the same technology as ALDEC G3 VecFlow™, except for the feed zone. ALDEC G3 has a standard feed zone, giving it somewhat lower performance and higher power consumption. It is a good fit for a wide range of applications where high separation performance and low power consumption are required, but where the extra benefits offered by VecFlow™ are not necessary. An Alfa Laval ALDEC G3 can be upgraded to the VecFlow™ design.

ALDEC G3 is available with capacities from 23 to 225 m³/h.

Decanter for wastewater - benefits

Ideal for demanding sludges with high solids loading
High separation performance, 1% drier solids compared to standard decanters
Low power consumption
Upgradeable to G3 VecFlow™ PowerTubes, Slimline conveyor and Direct Drive gearbox
Replaceable wear protection tiles
Advanced control system Easy to service
Available in many materials, including Duplex

Limitations

Larger footprint than i-DW
