Delivering Reliable Wastewater Separation at Cleanaway Henderson
Sacor Australia is pleased to highlight our recently completed installation at Cleanaway’s Henderson facility in Western Australia a project that demonstrates the precision and performance of our Delta canter centrifuge technology in an industrial waste management environment.
Wastewater management is critical for maintaining efficient operations, reducing disposal costs, and meeting environmental compliance requirements. When Cleanaway’s Henderson facility required a robust solution to enhance its wastewater separation process, Sacor partnered with the team to supply and install a high-performance Deltacanter centrifuge.
This project highlights how the right separation technology, combined with experienced installation and support, can help wastewater operators achieve greater efficiency and reliability.
The Challenge
Wastewater treatment facilities are under constant pressure to process increasing volumes while maintaining operational efficiency and environmental standards.
At the Henderson site, Cleanaway required a separation solution capable of handling challenging liquid waste streams while delivering consistent performance and reliable solids recovery. The objective was to improve dewatering efficiency, reduce waste volumes, and support the site’s ongoing operational requirements.
To achieve these goals, a centrifuge solution was required that could adapt to varying feed conditions while maintaining high separation performance.
The Solution: Deltacanter Technology
Following an assessment of the site’s requirements, Sacor supplied and installed a Deltacanter centrifuge designed specifically for demanding separation applications.
Unlike conventional decanter centrifuges, the Deltacanter combines the benefits of a decanter and a separator, providing enhanced clarification performance and improved separation efficiency. This makes it particularly well suited to wastewater applications where feed characteristics can vary and optimal solids-liquid separation is essential.
Key advantages of the Deltacanter include:
- High separation efficiency
- Improved solids recovery
- Reduced waste disposal volumes
- Reliable operation under varying process conditions
- Lower overall operating costs
For Cleanaway Henderson, the Delta canter was configured to optimise:
- Solids capture and dryness – Maximising the dry solids content of the cake for easier handling and reduced disposal volume.
- Effluent clarity – Producing a cleaner centrate for downstream treatment or discharge.
- Throughput capacity – Handling variable feed conditions without sacrificing separation performance
- Operational reliability – Minimising maintenance requirements to support Cleanaway’s continuous operations.
Installation and Commissioning
Sacor’s team managed the delivery and installation of the Deltacanter at Cleanaway’s Henderson facility, ensuring the equipment was integrated smoothly into the existing process. Providing better wastewater separation solutions.
The project included:
- Equipment delivery and site coordination
- Mechanical installation
- Process integration support
- Commissioning and performance testing
- Operator guidance and ongoing technical support
Through careful planning and execution, the installation was completed efficiently, minimising disruption to site operations and allowing the system to be brought online quickly.
The Outcome
The new Deltacanter installation provides Cleanaway with a reliable and efficient wastewater separation solution capable of supporting current and future processing requirements.
By improving solids-liquid separation performance, the system helps:
- Increase processing efficiency
- Reduce sludge handling and disposal costs
- Improve overall plant performance
- Support environmental compliance objectives
- Deliver long-term operational reliability
The project demonstrates the value of selecting the right centrifuge technology for wastewater applications and highlights the importance of partnering with an experienced separation specialist.
