Applications

Every one of us is required to contribute towards safeguarding the fragile balances of our Planet. The starting point must necessarily be a focus on environmental friendliness.
Pieralisi provides its consolidated experience and superior expertise to make a significant contribution to this particular “mission”. We have a presence across the globe, with 16,000 systems installed and have designed and developed dynamic thickening and sludge dewatering solutions since 1970. Boasting an extensive range of decanter centrifuges and vertical separators, which we continuously tweak and improve on, we make it possible to remove physically separable contaminants and thus recover the water used in various municipal or industrial processes, with obvious benefits from both a financial and an environmental perspective.

Pieralisi provides solutions for the processing of any food or drink, from the extraction of fruit or vegetable juices, of olive oil, to the processing of solid food, including the extraction of food additives and wine processing, paying particular attention to health and safety involved in handling and processing these products and in compliance with European food regulations.

Pieralisi is world leader in centrifugal separation technology. The extensive skill-set of the company’s recycling department specialists allows Pieralisi to offer processing solutions that set world-wide standards of cost-effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and environmental friendliness in recycling processes.

Among the primary foods, vegetable oil plays an important role and requires superior quality to respect our health and safety. The consumption of vegetable oils is destined to increase, along with the world’s population since oils and fats form a staple part of the human diet.

Fuel oils and lubricants derived from crude oil are vital to many different manufacturing activities. In order to reduce both the operating costs and the environmental impact deriving from their use, a large number of companies are exploring new avenues to optimise their use, reduce maintenance and increase the recovery rate.

Chemical process engineering utilises a wide range of different operations and derived technologies. Among such technologies, separation technologies using filtration and sedimentation play an important role in the majority of chemical production processes.
In most cases the quality of the end-product significantly depends on the efficiency of the separation processes, for instance: separating impurities from the raw materials; two-phase (solid/liquid or liquid/liquid) or three-phase separation of reaction mixtures; separating (removal or recovery) of a catalyst; separating by-products or impurities from the end product; product recovery and pollutant recovery from waste streams.

These days, environmental awareness among citizens is growing steadily and the processes for reusing and valuing food industry waste have become a priority. In this regard, most animal by-products are convertible from a waste to a market valuable product.
