A 2-phase decanter, also known as a 2-phase centrifuge or a 2-phase separator, is an essential industrial equipment utilized for separating two immiscible phases, typically involving a liquid and a solid. It is widely employed across various industries, including oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, and wastewater treatment.
The decanter functions based on the principle of centrifugal force. The mixture to be separated is introduced into the decanter, where it undergoes acceleration and experiences high centrifugal forces. Consequently, the heavier phase, usually consisting of solid particles, settles at the bottom, while the lighter phase, which is usually the liquid, forms an outer layer.
Series/Type | Beach Angle | Centrifuge Applicable Material Features |
---|---|---|
T Series Dewatering Type | 8.5° | T series dewatering type decanter centrifuge is usually used to remove liquid from solid phase materials. It is designed for easy separation material include large particle size, high density difference of solid and liquid, low viscosity, high concentration, high treatment capacity and higher dryness than clarity. The materials like sludge or wastewater containing fine particles usually need to be added with flocculants to gather the fine particles condensed into large ones, and then dewatered with T series decanter centrifuge. |
Y Series Separation Type | 15° | Y series separation type decanter centrifuge combines the advantages of T series dewatering centrifuge and C series clarifying centrifuge. It is designed not only for the clarity of liquid phase after separation, but also the dryness of solid phase. Y Series separation decanter centrifuge is especially suitable for fine soft material separation. It is usually used in soft materials which are difficult to separate. It suits for material of small particles, small density difference in solid-liquid, large viscosity and small concentration. |
C Series Clarifying Type | 20° | C series clarifying type decanter centrifuge is generally used for materials that are difficult to separate, have small particles, small solid-liquid density differences, moderate viscosity, moderate concentration, and require high clarity of clear liquid. |
