The Octopus biosolids dewatering centrifuge autopilot from Alfa Laval is custom designed to monitor, control and optimize all aspects of the dewatering process. Software controls material feed, polymer dosing, and internal decanter settings, providing real-time information on each process step. Infrared sensors analyze performance and automatically make necessary adjustments.
The PLC-based optimization system is integrated with Alfa Laval’s 2Touch centrifuge control system. It comes with communication components, remote-access capability, updates and support services.
The system takes its name from the central control unit and series of tentacle-like sensors. Its key benefit is 24/7 control of the dewatering process and polymer consumption for
