Ballast Decanter Overview
We manufacture Ballast decanters, a floating scum/solid-excluding decanter designed for SBR and cyclic wastewater processes. Powered by air and driven by the plant's aeration system, the decanter operates between two positions: cut-off and work. Its vertical movement is controlled by injecting or releasing pressurized air into the decanter body.
