Educational theme for British leather technicians` meeting
25/05/2001
The UK Society for Leather Technicians and Chemists (SLTC) Northern Group held its May meeting at the Gomersal Park Hotel, Bradford, West Yorkshire on May 16.
The programme included a lecture on decanter centrifuges from Peter Smith
of Centriquip who described the use of centifuges in the treatment of tannery and other effluents. Centrifuges enable the production of sludges with solids contents of approximately 25% and result in a very clean effluent, Smith explained. However, he also stressed that their main function is to dewater effluent. They should not be considered as an effluent treatment method.
