Andritz, Austria, reports that it has received an order from S.A. Industrias Celulosa Aragonesa (SAICA) in El Burgo de Ebro, Spain, to supply a gravity table GT and a sludge screw press SCS. SAICA already has two ANDRITZ dewatering lines of the same type and size operating to its full satisfaction. This repeat order confirms the trust that SAICA places in sludge dewatering technology from Andritz. 

The new sludge dewatering system will process mixed sludge from stock preparation, deinking, and wastewater treatment. The scope of supply also includes erection supervision, startup and commissioning, and training. Startup is planned for November 2016.
