Water and wastewater treatment solutions expanded by GEA through the addition of Flocmix technologies, bolstering their smart environmental technology offering
In a strategic move to enhance its portfolio for water and wastewater treatment, GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft has acquired Flocmix. This acquisition aims to run plants more efficiently, reliably, and sustainably.
Flocmix, a renowned name in the field, is known for its Flocmix centrate sensor, a key component that monitors the quality of the centrate leaving the decanter in real time. This sensor is particularly useful in water and wastewater treatment, where it helps monitor the properties and quality of centrate, the liquid separated from sludge in dewatering processes.
The benefits of the Flocmix centrate sensor are numerous. It enables real-time monitoring of centrate characteristics such as suspended solids, turbidity, and solids concentration, allowing for optimised process control. This, in turn, leads to improved sludge dewatering efficiency and reduced operational costs through more precise chemical dosing and energy usage.
Moreover, the sensor enhances process reliability by early detection of changes in centrate quality, preventing downstream equipment fouling. Its applications extend to treatment plants for municipal and industrial wastewater, where it optimises sludge handling and improves water recycling.
The established structures at the Flocmix site in northern Germany ensure continued proven quality, fast response times, and individual support for customers. GEA's acquisition of Flocmix enables the seamless transition of expertise, service, and product development.
Customers will benefit from a broader range of solutions from a single source, including precise sensor technology and fully automated decanter solutions. GEA Intellicant, an intelligent, modular upgrade kit for GEA decanters, is one such solution that automates routine tasks, continuously optimises the dry substance in the sludge, and stabilises centrate quality while reducing the amount of work required.
In the food industry, GEA's technology is used extensively, with every third chicken nugget processed using GEA technology. GEA is a significant contributor to the reduction of CO2 emissions, plastic usage, and food waste in various industries. As a world-leading supplier to the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, GEA focuses on machinery, plants, advanced process technology, components, and services.
