Alfa Laval industrial centrifuges are engineered to improve your separation processes. Prodec offers a reliable, cost-effective solution for demanding processing operations, setting the benchmark in 2 and 3 phase separation. A water oil separator suitable for a broad range of industries, including mineral processing, battery recycling, ethanol, biofuels, chemical production and starch dewatering.
Improving the energy efficiency of Alfa Laval separation equipment
The bowl can be equipped with special power plates or tubes that harness the hydraulic energy to reduce the overall power consumption. Some of the discharge velocity from the liquid leaving the unit is captured and re-directed to contribute to bowl rotation. This reduces the velocity of the discharged liquid, which in turn reduces overall power requirements. The unique Alfa Laval direct drive system automatically controls the conveying speed to ensure optimum solids dryness, irrespective of acceptable variations in the feed flow.
From dewatering heat-coagulated potato protein, maize gluten and wheat starch to protein splitting in starch production, Prodec centrifuge decanters excel in food and starch processing. Their robust design also ensures optimal performance when handling erosive, corrosive and high-temperature slurries in mineral processing, pulp and paper, coal tar and steel industries. In addition, they play a critical role in ethanol and biofuel production, supporting sustainable energy solutions.
