Purification Process

Hi-speed vertical disc centrifuges are used for separation of 2 liquids while simultaneously removing fine solids.

Typical applications include oil/water separation while simultaneously removing solid particles down to 1 micron size.

Diesel reconditioning will come out and remove water, sediment, algae, and bacteria from your stored diesel fuel.  

If your fuel has been stored for anything longer than a few months without usage, there is a danger of contamination.

The feed is introduced to the rotating centrifuge bowl from the top via a stationary inlet pipe (1), and is accelerated in a distributor (2) before entering the disc stack (3). It is between the discs that the separation of the two liquid phases and the solids take place.

The oil phase moves towards the center of the bowl and is discharged by a paring disc (4). The water phase leaves the bowl over the top disc (5) and through a paring disc (6). The heavier solids phase is collected at the bowl periphery, from where it is discharged intermittently.

The solids discharge is achieved by a hydraulic system below the separation space in the bowl, which at preset intervals forces the sliding bowl bottom (7) to drop down, thus opening the solids ports (8) at the bowl periphery.

The bowl is mounted on a vertical spindle (9) driven by a vertically mounted motor, via a belt drive.

Our high speed centrifuges are fully self-sufficient. Just provide us access to your tanks and let us do the rest.
