Andritz Separation Webinar Centrifuge 101

This webinar discusses decanter centrifuges for dewatering municipal sludge. It explains that decanter centrifuges use differential bowl and scroll speeds to separate liquid and solids in a continuous process. The pond volume inside the centrifuge can be adjusted using weirs and influences solids recovery, liquid clarity, and drying of solids. The webinar reviews the main components of decanter centrifuges including the drive system, scroll, bowl, and control panel. It demonstrates how the touchscreen can be used to monitor centrifuge performance and operating parameters.

Q: WHAT DOES THE POND VOLUME DO?

A: Pond settling influences solids recovery


and liquid clarity.

 It influences solids recovery & liquid clarity.

 It influences the drying of solids.

 It influences the conveying of solids.

It sets the residence time available to settle solids. The longer the residence time,
the cleaner the liquid phase, the greater the solids recovery.

Low Level:
Increased dryness but to the detriment of torque.

High Level:
Increased clarification and solids extraction.
