SepaCanter
The SepaCanter is a state-of-the-art hybrid centrifuge that combines the best features of disc stack separators and decanter centrifuges. This innovative machine is designed to efficiently separate and clarify liquid-liquid-solid mixtures, offering superior performance and versatility compared to traditional separation technologies.
How It Works:
-
- The liquid-liquid-solid mixture is fed into the rotating bowl of the SepaCanter through the feed tube.
- The high-speed rotation of the bowl generates powerful centrifugal forces, causing the heavier solid particles to settle on the bowl’s inner wall.
- The integrated disc stack, located in the liquid pool, provides a large separation surface area for the two immiscible liquids to separate based on their density differences.
- The specially designed screw conveyor, rotating at a slightly different speed than the bowl, continuously removes the settled solids from the bowl, ensuring efficient solids handling and preventing clogging.
- The lighter liquid phase moves through the disc stack towards the centre of the bowl and is discharged through the light phase overflow outlet.
- The heavier liquid phase moves towards the periphery of the bowl and is discharged through the heavy phase overflow outlet.
Advantages of the SepaCanter:
Two-phase decanters are suitable for various industries and applications, including:
-
- High separation efficiency: The SepaCanter combines the high separation efficiency of disc stack separators with the solids handling capabilities of decanter centrifuges, resulting in exceptional performance for liquid-liquid-solid separation applications.
- Versatility: The SepaCanter can handle a wide range of feed mixtures and process conditions, making it suitable for various industries, including oil and gas, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and wastewater treatment.
- Compact design: The hybrid design of the SepaCanter allows for a more compact machine compared to using separate disc stack and decanter centrifuges, saving valuable floor space in processing facilities.
- Energy efficiency: The optimized design of the SepaCanter enables efficient separation with lower energy consumption compared to traditional separation methods.
- Easy maintenance: The SepaCanter is designed with maintenance in mind, featuring easily accessible components and a modular design that simplifies servicing and reduces downtime.
Applications:
The SepaCanter is suitable for a wide range of industries and applications, including:
- Oil and gas industry: Separating oil, water, and solids from produced water, drilling mud, and other process streams.
- Food and beverage processing: Clarifying and separating oil, water, and solids in the production of edible oils, fruit juices, and dairy products.
- Pharmaceutical industry: Separating and purifying immiscible liquid mixtures containing solid particles in the manufacturing of drugs, biopharmaceuticals, and other high-value products.
- Industrial wastewater treatment: Removing oil, solids, and other immiscible contaminants from industrial wastewater streams, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
The SepaCanter represents a significant advancement in liquid-liquid-solid separation technology, offering unparalleled performance, flexibility, and efficiency for a wide range of applications. With its innovative hybrid design and advanced features, the SepaCanter is the ideal solution for industries seeking to optimize their separation processes and improve overall operational efficiency.
