Sludge regulation for centrifuge feeding
Three Iris® Diaphragm Control Valves with actuators are used to feed the centrifuges of the thermal power plant North. The sewage sludge with a dry substance content of 5 % is precisely conveyed into the centrifuges at an inlet pressure of max. 2 bar with the help of the Iris® valves. The Iris® control valves are characterized by a free passage cross-section, as the six segments can be retracted completely out of the housing and there are no obstruction components in the flow axis. Furthermore, the unique centric flow profile enables a very precise and energetically optimized process control.
