LWS Crude Oil 3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge Horizontal Spiral Centrifuge

LWS Crude oil 3 phase decanter centrifuge

The LW Horizontal Decanter Centrifuges enable continuous feeding and discharge. This chemical separation equipment is commonly used in industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, environmental protection, mining, and food for separating two-phase (solid-liquid) and three-phase (solid-liquid-liquid) slurries.

The liquid-liquid-solid phase decanter centrifuge, commonly known as a tricanter, utilizes the difference in density between the heavy liquid, light liquid, and solid phase to achieve separation through centrifugal or gravity forces. This highly efficient machine is popular worldwide and is frequently used for separating crude oil, specifically for removing sludge and water.

Structures and properties

The Model LW centrifuge is a horizontal spiral discharge device designed for continuous operation and separation of materials. Its principle revolves around the synchronized rotation of the drum and spiral feeder, with a speed difference. Material is directed into the inner cylinder of the feeding spiral via a pipe, accelerated, and then enters the drum. The centrifugal force acts on the material, causing the heavier solid-phase to deposit on the drum wall, forming a residue layer. The spiral feeder continuously pushes the solid-phase residue to the conic end of the drum, where it is dehydrated and discharged during high-speed operation. This compact equipment offers continuous operation, smooth functioning, and high adaptability to a variety of materials, allowing for convenient maintenance and a large handling capacity.
