Severn Trent De Nora has recently incorporated the CentraSep® vertical self-discharging (VSD) centrifuge technology from Advanced Separation Technologies (AST) into its solids handling equipment package. With the offshore marine industry's driving focus on health and safety, the OMNIPURE technology's sanitary handling of solids with minimal operator attendance at the unit sets a benchmark in "hands off" solids waste handling specifically for the offshore marine environment. "Severn Trent De Nora spent significant time and expense evaluating a variety of centrifugal technologies," said Dana Casbeer, offshore and marine product line manager for Severn Trent De Nora.
