Principle and Function of Three-Phase Decanter Centrifuge

A horizontal spiral sedimentation centrifuge, commonly known as a decanter centrifuge, is an efficient piece of centrifugal separation equipment designed for continuous solid-liquid or liquid-liquid-solid separation. Based on structure and function, decanter centrifuges can be divided into horizontal spiral filter centrifuges and horizontal spiral sedimentation centrifuges. Continue reading

In modern construction and utility installation projects—such as hydrovac excavation and horizontal directional drilling (HDD)—efficiently managing slurry waste is essential for both operational productivity and environmental responsibility. GN Separation specializes in the design and manufacture of advanced waste management systems engineered specifically for hydrovac slurry and directional drill mud treatment. Continue reading

Separation Function and Operation of the Decanter Centrifuge

The decanter centrifuge performs centrifugal separation on two- or three-phase liquid-solid heterogeneous mixtures with different densities. During operation, the main motor drives the two pulleys simultaneously, which in turn drive the bowl and the helical screw through a gear or cycloidal pin-wheel differential. This ensures a fixed relative differential speed between the bowl and the screw, allowing the materials to be separated efficiently at high speed. Continue reading

Brief Introduction to the Three-Phase Decanter Centrifuge

A three-phase decanter centrifuge is a specialized type of decanter centrifuge designed to separate a mixture into two liquid phases and one solid phase simultaneously. Its operating principle is based on the difference in specific gravity between the solid and liquid phases. When the mixture enters the rotating bowl, the powerful centrifugal force—thousands of times stronger than gravity—forces the solids to settle against the bowl wall, while the two liquid phases stratify into distinct layers. A specially designed mechanism then continuously discharges the separated solids and liquids, completing a fully enclosed and automatic separation process. Continue reading

How to Address Corrosion Issues in Heavy Oil Centrifugal Separation Equipment

During the separation of heavy oil, corrosion of mechanical components of centrifugal separation equipment such as decanter centrifuge is a common and critical issue. This corrosion can be categorized into cold corrosion and hot corrosion, both of which arise under different conditions during operation and shutdown. Continue reading
