Meet Alfa Laval at Ozwater'22

Population growth, climate change and the pandemic have highlighted the critical importance of utilities and wastewater treatment for cities and councils across Australia. 

This puts pressure on operators of Wastewater Treatment Plants to maximise, maintain and extend the lifetime value of decanter centrifuge equipment, as well as staying on top of technological innovation for the future.

Discover how to balance today’s demands with a future shaped by sustainability, connectivity, rising energy cost and technology innovation to reduce cost, maximise re-use of water and minimise sludge disposal cost.

Meet the Alfa Laval team at Ozwater'22 to discuss:

• How to drive cost reduction for decanter centrifuges in your WWTP
• Maintenance and upgrading trends to extend your decanter’s lifetime value
