GN 3 phase decanter centrifuge is used to separate two liquid phases from one solid phase at the same time. As is known, decant centrifuge principle of separation is by G force. Because of the different densities of the (immiscible) liquids and the solid , so all three phases can be discharged simultaneously using the GN 3 Phase decanter centrifuge. GN Solids Control design and manufacture three phase decanter in different bowl size include: 350mm, 450mm and 520mm.

However, to do the 3 phase separation, the solid phase must be the specifically heaviest phase and the two liquid phases should have different densities.

The structure and principle of the three phase decanter centrifuge are similar to the two phase decanter centrifuge. The difference is the way of the liquid discharged. There are two liquid phases in separation in a 3 phase decanter centrifuge. A higher density liquid phase is discharged under pressure, and the lower density liquid is discharged without pressure. Following is the principle drawing of the 3 phase decanter centrifuge.

GN Solids control presents its Positive Displacement Pumps with the GNG Screw Pump series in its different presentations, depending on the work flow, we have them from 10 to 90 m3 / h and 4kW to 22kW. These positive displacement pumps are hydrostatic equipment. They pump a defined volume regardless of engine revolutions, but virtually independent of pressure. A positive displacement pump is one that displaces (delivers) the same amount of fluid for each rotation cycle of the pumping element.

 

These pumps are ideal for feeding centrifugal decanters without agitating the drilling mud. The main parts are the screw shaft (rotor) and the screw shaft bushing (stator). Due to the special geometric shape of the two parts, they form the pressurizing capacity separately. The fluids flow along with the shaft, the internal flow speed is slow, the capacity remains, the pressure is constant, so it will not generate vortices or agitation. The pump shaft is made of stainless steel, the GNG series pump is available for options with a full stainless steel body.

The GNG centrifugal feed pump can be driven by the coupler or adjust the speed using a variable speed motor, triangle V-belt, gearbox, etc. G series positive displacement pump with fewer accessories, compact structure, small volume, easy maintenance, rotor and Stator are wear parts of this pump, it is convenient to replace. The stator is made of elastomeric material, so it has particular advantages over other pumps for transferring fluids with high viscosity and included hard suspended particles.

Positive displacement pumps have multiple applications within the oil and gas industry, for the shipbuilding industry, beer industry, urban and wastewater treatment, paper industry, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, food industry, etc.

 

GN screw press sludge dewatering machine is a kind of economic and environmentally friendly sludge dewatering equipment. It is a new type of sludge extrusion dewatering equipment by using the principle of screw extrusion, through the strong squeezing force generated by the change of screw diameter and screw pitch, and the tiny gap between the floating ring and the fixed ring, to realize solid-liquid separation. GN dewatering screw press is composed of the fully automatic control cabinet, flocculation modulation box, sludge thickening, and dewatering device, and liquid collecting tank. GN dewatering screw press is with automatic control technology, which can realize the flocculation fully automatic operation, and continuously complete the sludge thickening and squeezing, finally return or discharge the collected filtrate liquid.

 

ADVANTAGES OF SCREW PRESS DEWATERING MACHINE

Suitable for wide range of sludge dewatering and can be used for oily sludge treatment.

Operating continuously and automatically, not easy to block.

Low investment and operation cost, no secondary pollution.

Energy-saving and environmentally friendly, compact design with a small footprint.

Sludge can be dewatered under aerobic conditions to avoid phosphorus release from anaerobic sludge dewatering.

FEATURES OF SCREW PRESS DEWATERING MACHINE

The main body of the screw press sludge dewatering machine is a filtration device composed of a fixed ring and moving ring, through which the screw axis runs. The front section is for concentration and the back section is for dewatering.

The filtering gap formed between the fixed ring and the moving ring of the dewatering screw press and the pitch of the screw axis gradually decreased from the concentration section to the dewatering section.

The rotation of the screw press shaft not only pushes the sludge from the concentration section to the dewatering section but also continuously drives the moving ring to clean the filtering gap to prevent clogging.

After gravity concentration in the concentration section, sludge is transported to the dewatering section. In the process of advance, with the gradual decrease of filtering gap and screw pitch, and the blocking effect of backpressure plate, a great internal pressure is generated; leading the volume is constantly reduced, so as to achieve the purpose of full dewatering.

Dewatering screw press is generally applicable to sludge concentration of 2000mg / L-50000mg / L

GN 3 phase disc stack separator is a high-speed, stable, sealed, efficient, and automatic slag discharge 3 phase separation equipment. It is widely used for liquid, liquid, solid 3-phase separation or liquid-liquid separation. The 2-phase solid-liquid separation disc separator has only one liquid discharge port and one slag discharge port, while the 3-phase disc separator has two liquid discharge ports and one slag discharge port, which can separate two liquids with different specific gravity at the same time. It can also discharge solid phase materials. Compared with the 3-phase decanter centrifuge, the 3-phase disc separator has a larger rotation speed and G force.

The 3-phase decanter centrifuge usually has a separation factor of about 3000G, while the 3-phase disc stack separator G force is up to 12000G. Therefore, the 3-phase disc separator can more thoroughly separate liquids with different specific gravity and the liquid phase discharged is more clarified. However, compared to 3 phase decanter centrifuges, 3 phase disc separator is more used to separate materials containing fine particles, with fewer solids content. So before entering the 3-phase disc separator, the material can be separated by the decanter centrifuge for pre-stage separation to reduce the solids content and remove big particles.

Working principle

The separated material enters into the heart of the machine, that is, the inside of the bowl. Under the action of strong centrifugal force, the material passes through a set of disc bundle separation intervals. With the neutral holes of the disc as the interface, the liquid with larger specific gravity moves along the disc wall towards the outside the neutral hole, where heavy slag accumulates in the sediment area, and the heavy phase liquid flows upward to the centripetal pump; the lighter liquid with a smaller specific gravity moves along the disc wall into the neutral hole and converges to the lower centrifugal pump. The light and heavy liquid phases are discharged by the lower centrifugal pump and the upper centripetal pump respectively; the heavy slag is regularly discharged; continuous production is implemented.
