• A decanter type centrifuge, also known as a solid bowl centrifuge, is a machine used to separate solids from liquids in a slurry. It's a vital piece of equipment in many industries, including wastewater treatment, chemical processing, oil and gas, and food and beverage.

• How it Works:

  • Decanter centrifuges use centrifugal force to separate the components of a mixture. The slurry is fed into a rotating horizontal bowl. The high-speed rotation generates strong centrifugal forces, up to 4000 times the force of gravity, causing the denser solids to be pushed against the bowl wall, while the less dense liquid forms a concentric inner layer. A screw conveyor inside the bowl, rotating at a slightly different speed, continuously transports the separated solids to a discharge point.

• Applications:

  • Decanter centrifuges are used in a wide range of applications, including:

    • Wastewater treatment: Separating solids from sludge.
    • Chemical processing: Separating crystals, polymers, or other solids from liquids.
    • Oil and gas: Separating solids from drilling mud or recovering oil from waste streams.
    • Food and beverage: Clarifying juices, extracting oils, or processing dairy products.
    • Mining: Dewatering and classifying minerals.

• Materials of Construction:

  • Decanter centrifuges are often made from corrosion-resistant materials to withstand the harsh conditions of many industrial processes. Common materials of construction include:

    • Stainless steel: This is a popular choice due to its corrosion resistance and hygienic properties, especially in food and beverage applications. Different grades of stainless steel may be used depending on the specific application.
    • Duplex stainless steel: This type of stainless steel offers even higher strength and corrosion resistance than standard stainless steel, making it suitable for demanding applications.
    • Nickel alloys: These alloys offer excellent corrosion resistance and are often used in highly corrosive environments.
    • Titanium: This lightweight and strong metal offers exceptional corrosion resistance and is used in specialized applications.

Other Considerations:

• Wear protection: The screw conveyor and other parts of the centrifuge that come into contact with abrasive solids may be coated with wear-resistant materials, such as tungsten carbide, to extend their lifespan.
• Seals: The seals used in decanter centrifuges must be able to withstand high speeds and pressures, as well as the corrosive nature of some materials. They are often made from specialized elastomers or mechanical seals.The specific materials of construction used in a decanter centrifuge will depend on the application and the properties of the materials being processed. Factors such as corrosion resistance, temperature, and pressure will all be considered when selecting the appropriate materials.
