Westfalia Separator is confronted with new tasks every single day. Intensive co-operation with our customers as well as with research institutions and universities enables us to provide a constant stream of new and future-oriented developments in the field of separation technology which have revolutionized entire production processes in the past. The design and production of decanters for a wide range of applications, always with the aim of optimizing the overall production process, has a key role to play in this respect. We intend to use the next few pages as an opportunity for demonstrating what is possible in this field.
