Three Phase Decanter | Working, Benefits, Specs, Applications
A three-phase decanter is a centrifugal separator that separates two immiscible liquids while simultaneously separating the solids. The liquid phases discharge through discrete outlets, and the solids eject out of the decanter’s sludge nozzles. Working Principle The 3-phase separation occurs in the horizontally rotating bowl of the decanter centrifuge. A fixed inlet tube feeds the… Continue reading Three Phase Decanter | Working, Benefits, Specs, Applications
