What is Liquid Seal Break or Breakover in Disc Centrifuges? During the normal 3-phase separation process in a disc-stack centrifuge, the heavy phase (typically water) forms a liquid seal around the periphery of the bowl. Under certain conditions, the light phase pushes out the heavy phase and escapes through the heavy phase outlet. This operating… Continue reading Disc Centrifuge Liquid Seal Break or Breakover | Causes, Detection, Fixes
