Handling slurry in industries like wastewater, biogas, and agriculture often comes with a major challenge—abrasive materials such as sand, grit, and tiny glass particles that can quickly damage pumps and system components. To tackle this issue, Börger has introduced its new FlowSep separation technology.
FlowSep is designed to work alongside the company’s Bioselect Separator, forming a closed and odourless system that efficiently removes unwanted particles before they can cause damage. One of its standout capabilities is extracting up to 90% of fine abrasive particles, significantly reducing wear and extending equipment lifespan.
By removing these harmful materials early in the process, FlowSep helps protect:
- Pumps and valves
- Pipelines and tankers
- Storage and processing systems
This not only improves system reliability but also reduces maintenance costs and downtime.
Another advantage is the improved handling of separated solids. The system produces material that is easier to store and transport, while also reducing overall storage volume requirements.
Despite its powerful performance, FlowSep features a compact design and can be retrofitted easily into existing systems, making it a practical upgrade for operators looking to enhance efficiency without major infrastructure changes. It can also achieve throughput rates of up to 100 m³/h, supporting high-capacity operations.
Overall, Börger’s FlowSep highlights how smart separation technology can prevent wear before it happens, helping industries improve durability, reduce costs, and maintain consistent performance in demanding environments.
