The three main factors that make up the majority of the operational expenses for wastewater decanters are:

• Sludge transportation and disposal costs
• Polymer costs
• Energy costs

For example, sludge transportation and disposal can represent up to 80% of the life cycle cost of your decanter. The diagram below shows your cost increases with a 1% (nominal) drop in cake dryness (for a large capacity decanter).
