For example, a client said they are looking for centrifuge separators for oily sludge treatment. Say the liquid treatment which contains on 90% water and 5% oil and 5% Solids / soil. Although the 5% solids content is mot much high, we also must to make sure that what is the max. Solids size of the 5% solids content.

The reason is that, for 2-phase decanter centrifuge, 3-phase decanter centrifuge, and disc centrifuge, the max. Solids size and solids content various much. And all centrifuge separator cannot allow big particle, it is better less than 10mm, and better no more than 15mm, no matter how less the solids content. Otherwise, other separators must be used for feeding into centrifuge.
1. 2-phase decanter centrifuge.
It is a liquid and solids separator which the most popular centrifuge model used in oil and gas mud system for low gravity and high gravity solids separation.
