A Deep Dive into Open Scroll Decanter Centrifuge Design
In a centrifuge, many variables that affect output: RPM, bowl size, scroll speed, pond depth, and slurry concentration, etc..
Wastewater treatment facilities looking for savings frequently focus on creating a drier dewatered cake, reducing polymer consumption, and using less energy. A decanter centrifuge accomplishes all of these, primarily because it is more efficient than a settling pond, acting on solids with several times the force of gravity. The result is greater separation power and speed, more solids, and a drier cake.
If you have seen a centrifuge in action, you know there are many variables that affect output: RPM, bowl size, scroll speed, cone angle, pond depth, and slurry concentration to name a few. The design of the scroll itself can have a major impact on output too.
