The Alfa Laval centrifuge selection guide helps users identify the optimum centrifuge based on process fluid properties for their specific application.
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

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
