Thepurpose of decanter centrifuge is performing separation ofsolids from liquid.
For various reasons, liquid often contaminating with many solids objects
and some type of solids objects are harmful.
The decanter centrifuge use principle
of gravitational force through continues rotation in
vertical, horizontal and conveyor centrifuges.
Depending the RPM of the decanter centrifuge motor, it can produce the
rotation force in 1000 times and beyond on normal gravitational force. The separation time need it from minutes to
hours. The bowl tube that equip with
internal conveyor rotate in extreme high speed that moves in same direction but
at different velocity to achieve solids separation from liquid.
Many
industrial job use decanter centrifuge to perform separation and purification
purpose, some examples are environmental, medical, chemical, food, oil and gas
industry are commonly use this method for different purpose but achieve same
goal: the separation of solids from liquid. In fact, without this step of process, these
industries will not achieve more specific tasks because it is the most the
first step of process.
These
are steps of how decanter centrifuge separate solids from liquid:
1.
The mud is enter the centrifuge
from connection of pipe
2.
By an internal feed space, the conveyor push the
mud through a nozzle into the bowl
3.
The rotation of bowl in high speed that makes
gravitational forces
4.
High rotation speed separate solids from mud in
times
5.
The conveyor makes solids upward and discharged
6.
Solids removed
and clear water released from different output
The ability to purify
a liquid makes decanter centrifuges ideal for waste water treatment facilities.
However, there are varieties of industries for which such centrifuges play an
important role. Similar to other decanter equipment, centrifuges are simple to
install or use as stand-alone machinery that do not need permanent mount.
