In most waste management project, the waste material normal include vary kinds material, not only water, but also oil. This week we delivered one unit tricanter centrifuge to Africa client for the oil tank sludge treatment. Different with 2 phase Decanter centrifuge ,tricanter is 3 phase separator for liquid liquid solids separation. Which principle is same with decant centrifuge. Through the high rotating speed generate the high G force, the different undissolved material will bear different G force due to their density is different. and then the different material will be in different layer. The high density solids will settle down to the bottom of Decanter centrifuge. And the lighter solids will be on the up layer.

Decanter centrifuge

The most application of tricanter centrifuge is for oil water solids 3 phase separation. It equipped a centripetal pump inside the centrifuge rotating bowl, and it will pump the oil out of centrifuge. The solids will be push forward and discharged from small end of centrifuge, water discharged from big end. In this Africa project, waste material from the bottom of oil sludge tank. Which include large crud oil ,water and solids. Customer want to separate out the solids , water. And get the clean crude oil.
These waste was flushed thorough high pressure water. And through screw press to feed it into 3 phase decanter centrifuge. Under the more than 2000 G force, water oil and solids will be separated. In some project, we may add the shale shaker to treat the material first to remove out the big size particle, and reduce the solids content. Finally feed it into 3 phase decanter centrifuge. The low solids content will improve the treating capacity of centrifuge and also get good separation performance.

Decanter centrifuge

GN can provide the customized solution according to client requirement. shale shaker, Decanter centrifuge , screw press, chemical dosing unit, all these equipment may be used for client project. If you have demanded on these equipment, welcome to contact us, we will be pleased to provide technical support.
