Dewatering Centrifuge | Operation, Animation, Uses, Benefits
A dewatering centrifuge is an industrial centrifuge specifically designed to dewater, i.e., separate water from sludge. Water separation from a slurry thickens the sludge and reduces the volume of wastewater for disposal. Therefore, this centrifuge is also known as a sludge-thickening centrifuge. Operation The operation of a dewatering centrifuge can be simply explained as follows.… Continue reading Dewatering Centrifuge | Operation, Animation, Uses, Benefits
