GEA Westfalia Separator Systems
The product is fed by the feed pump into the centre of the separator bowl. Within the rotating bowl, the product is separated into a heavy and light phase.
The heavy water phase is separated from the finest oil droplets and dirt particles and then conveyed under pressure by the centripetal pump to the discharge. If the oil concentration on the clean water outlet of the centrifuge exceeds 15 ppm the water is led through an absorption filter. The lighter oil phase flows to the centre of the bowl and is discharged by gravity.
The separated sludge is collected in the solids holding space and must be removed by hand. An intelligent control and monitoring system assures problem-free, round-the-clock unmanned operation. It also ensures that only water with an oil content lower than 15 ppm is released into the environment.
