KENOSHA, Wis. (Sept. 21, 2016)—Centrisys Corporation, a global innovator of decanter centrifuges and dewatering systems for municipal applications, announced new installations of dewatering centrifuges at three New York City wastewater treatment facilities. These installations mark the spread of Centrisys’ American-made centrifuges from coast to coast, having already sold to a list of cities including Seattle, Denver, Green Bay, Austin and Cleveland. These latest installations further demonstrate Centrisys’ traction in the U.S. market, according to the company. Behind its commitment to U.S. manufacturing, Centrisys leverages a network of U.S. suppliers to meet municipalities’ individual needs, and uniquely services any brand of centrifuge equipment anywhere with parts, repair and the retrofit of machines. A total of 48 CS26-4 HC 2-phase decanter centrifuges are scheduled to be installed at three plants in New York City by 2020. The installations will be completed in three phases with the first of three under way to process the city’s anaerobically digested sludge, improving plant efficiency in the biosolids-handling process. Each of these three plants will install 16 CS26-4 units:

  • Wards Island Wastewater Treatment Plant, New York City: The project was awarded in 2013 and has an expected completion date of 2017. The units are currently being installed.
  • Hunts Point Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Bronx: The project was awarded in 2015 and has an expected completion date of 2020.
  • 26th Ward Wastewater Treatment Plant, Brooklyn: The project was awarded in 2016 and has an expected completion date of 2020.
“In the U.S. today, there are nearly 15,000 treatment facilities that among them require $15 billion in upgrades annually as they face infrastructure concerns for effective management of wastewater,” said Michael Kopper, Centrisys CEO and founder. “Our equipment is firmly rooted in the United States and these latest installations in New York City demonstrate a country-wide belief in our U.S.-made technology as plants rethink how to approach investing in new technologies for the future.”
