Title: Disc Bowl Centrifugation

Objective: - To understand disc bowl centrifugation working principle.

- To demonstrate the separation of heavy phase liquid.
- To demonstrate the effect of product type as throughput.
- To calculate the separation efficiency.
Introduction:
Centrifugal separator is designed especially for liquid-based applications. Using centrifugal force,
they separate substances and solid from liquids. They are equally as effective at separating liquid
mixtures at the same time as removing solids. Different types of separators such as tube bowl
centrifuge and disc bowl centrifuge carry out few types of separations, for example: Clarification
(separation of suspended particles from a liquid), purification (separation of heavy liquid from a
main light liquid/solid), Concentration skimming (concentration of a light liquid dispersed
throughout a heavy liquid/solid).
It generally contains a cylindrical container that rotates inside a larger stationary container. The
denser liquid accumulates at the periphery of the rotating container and is collected from the side
of the device, whereas the less dense liquid accumulates at the rotation axis and is collected from
the center.

The benefits of the centrifugal separator are increasing the productivity with high performance,
low operating cost and capital investment; reduce the loss of good product and disposal costs of
effluent streams. It is also simple to operate and tune for optimum separation quality. Centrifugal
is easy to be cleaning by stripdown and assembly easily accomplished by one operator. Spray bar
system available for backflushing the mesh either during or at end of a production run.
The field of application of our centrifuges range from separating processes in the chemical and
pharmaceutical industry through oil and fat recovery to the production of daily products, beer,
wine, fruit and vegetable juices, and the processing of mineral oil and mineral oil products. It
also normally used in chilled water in air conditioner system, industrial cooling tower,
evaporative condensers, irrigation, waste water and pre-filtration.
