An overview of the centrifuge and the scope of principle

Centrifuge is a high speed rotating equipment, through high-speed rotation to build a high-strength gravitational field to the doubling of settling velocity of water droplets, which can accelerate the separation of purpose. When the rotational speed of 3000rpm, an increase of about 5,000 times the acceleration of gravity can.

Centrifuge and hydrocyclone separation principle similar to, are relying on centrifugal force; but hydrocyclone itself is not rotating, but the fluid itself borrowed hydrocyclone geometry inside the spiral in motion, resulting in Shantou centrifugal force to separate the water.

Dewatering centrifuge for the actual production of crude oil, little experience, but the small sand dewatering centrifuge for the diesel we are not unfamiliar. The current scale of production and a certain practice has been used to produce large-scale centrifuge manufacturers, only one in the international arena, the United States AlfaLaval, the company producing the centrifuges at the plant in a Canadian synthetic crude oil for oil off the sand and with dehydration, has been 20 years experience in the application; American Phillips company also useful for dealing with the production of the brand's successful water centrifuge experience.

Centrifuge generally under atmospheric pressure operation, the operation temperature is not higher than the boiling point of water, generally between 90 degrees -95 degrees to ensure that gas does not exceed 10% (V).
