The Industrial Decanter Centrifuge for ZLD Pretreatment continuously removes suspended solids, precipitated salts, metal hydroxides, and dense sludge before evaporation, crystallization, or membrane concentration.
It helps protect downstream MEE, MVR, crystallizers, heat exchangers, and RO systems from blockage, scaling, erosion, and unstable operation.
Fine minerals, precipitated salts, metal hydroxides, and process residues may enter the evaporation system.
Effective solids removal reduces blockage and sediment accumulation.
Cooling or concentration may cause calcium salts, silica, sulfates, or other compounds to precipitate.
Stable temperature and controlled feeding help limit deposits.
Solids concentration, particle size, pH, salinity, and temperature may change during production.
Adjustable bowl speed and differential speed support stable operation.
Chlorides, sulfates, acids, and alkalis can accelerate corrosion.
SS316L, duplex steel, titanium, or special alloys may be selected.
The centrifuge removes suspended and precipitated solids but does not remove dissolved salts.
Evaporation, crystallization, or membrane treatment is still required for ZLD.
Peony provides continuous solid-liquid separation solutions for brine clarification, sludge dewatering, and downstream equipment protection.
High-Salinity Wastewater
→ Screening / Equalization
→ Optional Chemical Precipitation or Flocculation
→ Decanter Centrifuge
→ Clarified Brine + Dewatered Solids
Clarified Brine → RO / MEE / MVR / Crystallizer
Dewatered Solids → Recovery / Filter Press / Disposal
Conditioned high-salinity wastewater enters the rotating bowl.
Dense particles and precipitated salts move toward the bowl wall.
Clarified brine remains closer to the bowl center.
The screw conveyor transports settled solids toward the conical end.
Clarified brine and dewatered solids discharge separately.

Removes suspended solids before MEE, MVR, heat exchangers, and crystallizers to reduce blockage and erosion.
Separates precipitated salts and metal hydroxides before they accumulate on downstream heat-transfer surfaces.
Continuously concentrates solids without the batch cycles of conventional filter presses.
Produces a more consistent liquid feed for membrane concentration, evaporation, and crystallization.
Materials and seals can be selected according to salinity, pH, chloride content, and operating temperature.
Please provide:
No. It removes suspended and precipitated solids. Dissolved salts require RO, evaporation, or crystallization.
Yes, when the concentrate contains suspended solids or precipitated salts. Clear concentrate may not require centrifugation.
No. It is mainly used when ultrafine particles settle poorly or higher liquid clarity is required.
No. It reduces the solids load and scaling risk, but water chemistry and evaporator design must also be controlled.
SS316L, duplex steel, titanium, or special alloys may be selected according to chloride level, pH, and temperature.
