GEA OptiPartner® Intellicant®
GEA Intellicant®: Next level dewatering
GEA OptiPartner® Intellicant® is the smart upgrade kit that transforms your GEA decanter centrifuge into a fully automated, data-driven sludge dewatering system. Combining advanced sensors with intelligent control software, it continuously monitors and optimizes performance in wastewater treatment plants.
The result: greater process stability, reduced operator workload, improved dewatering efficiency, and lower sludge disposal costs.
Smarter automation. Drier sludge. Lower costs.
Your decanter can do more.
Fluctuating sludge characteristics, stricter discharge limits, rising disposal costs, and increasing pressure on operational efficiency require a new level of process control in wastewater treatment plants. Intellicant® is the smart upgrade kit that transforms your GEA decanter centrifuge into a data-driven sludge dewatering system.
By combining easy-to-install, low-maintenance sensors with intelligent autonomous control software, Intellicant® continuously monitors and optimizes the dewatering process. This improves process stability, reduces operator workload, increases dry solids content, and helps lower sludge transportation and disposal costs.
As part of the OptiPartner® digital solution family, Intellicant® unlocks measurable performance potential for modern wastewater treatment operations.
Your key benefits
Enhances decanter performance
Monitor and optimize your decanter to increase sludge dryness, ensure stable centrate, and reduce polymer and disposal costs.
Minimizes manual tasks and improves efficiency
Automate routine decanter operations to cut manual sampling, reduce adjustments, and save operator hours with a future-proof solution.
Smart, secure and fully controlled operations
Ensure stable, autonomous decanter performance with the Virtual Operator, integrated alarms, and continuous real-time sensor monitoring.
