GEA decanters are important components in the cleaning of soil contaminated with heavy metals

The Austrian company ferroDECONT has developed a process that converts highly toxic and soluble heavy metals into harmless, precipitated compounds in a washing process. The machine and plant manufacturer GEA supplied ferroDECONT with a decanter for the treatment of contaminated soils. The GEA decanter first separates the precipitated copper from water, after which the solid phase can then be recycled.
