Decanter Questionnaire (Example)

The customer is seeking to install a decanter to treat primary fresh POME from a palm oil mill in Indonesia. The POME contains high levels of solids (30,000 mg/L TSS) and oils/greases (3000-4000 ppm) and is corrosive and acidic. They are looking for a decanter that can handle a maximum feed rate of 3 m3/hr with 90 kg/hr of solids, operating 3-5 hours per day, 5 days a week. The decanter performance goals are to achieve high cake dryness and solid recoveries.

Drawing/sketch

Please provide us with a sketch or drawing of the upstream process as this will be extremely
helpful in the project evaluation. If you do not have a real drawing (in most cases, you will
not) then please make a sketch by hand (as you see the set-up) – then scan it and forward it
together with this document.
