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 aspe

• 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.

Main Applications
Gypsum from FGD scrubber systems in power stations, waste incineration systems and cement plants, neutralization systems in copper refining plants.
