Overview
GEA OptiPartner® Intellicant® is an upgrade kit that converts a GEA decanter centrifuge into a fully automated, data-driven sludge dewatering system. It combines easy-to-install, low-maintenance sensors with autonomous control software to continuously monitor and optimize the dewatering process in wastewater treatment plants, improving process stability, increasing dry solids content and reducing sludge transport and disposal costs.

Key benefits

• Enhances decanter performance: increases sludge dry solids, stabilizes centrate quality and reduces polymer and disposal costs.
• Reduces manual intervention and saves operator time: automates routine adjustments, decreases manual sampling and minimizes on-site tuning.
• Autonomous, monitored operation: Virtual Operator, integrated alarms and continuous sensor feedback enable stable autonomous control.
• Transparent performance tracking: real-time insights, trend history and automated reports via the OptiPartner Intellicant app.
• Environmental impact reduction: optimized dewatering lowers CO₂ emissions and reduces transport and disposal volumes.

What’s inside GEA Intellicant®

• Sensor upgrade package: continuous, real-time measurements that reduce the need for manual sampling and provide operational visibility.
• Virtual Operator: autonomous control software that maintains target dry solids, automates adjustments and optimizes flocculant dosing.
• Access to the GEA Portal: centralized dashboard for KPI tracking, continuous data collection, automated reporting and remote support.

Operational outcomes & case highlights

• Example improvement: dewatered sludge dry solids increased from ~22% to a steady ~24% at a reference wastewater treatment plant, reducing transport frequency and disposal cost.
• Documented polymer savings of approximately 25–28% while maintaining stable dewatering performance (customer case results).

Subscription & support
Intellicant® is provided as a subscription service enabling continuous support, software updates and remote troubleshooting by GEA experts; proactive monitoring and remote assistance are included.

Applications
Designed for wastewater treatment plants to upgrade existing GEA decanter centrifuges into data-driven dewatering systems for improved process stability, reduced operator workload and lower total sludge handling costs.
