Introduction to Flottweg Separation Technology |
|
The focus of Flottweg in the field of
liquid-solid separation is primarily on the sedimentation processes od
solid liquid mixtures or suspensions. Flottweg's equipment range
includes Solid Bowl Scroll Centrifuges, more commonly known as
DECANTER centrifuges,
DISC
centrifuges and
BELT presses.
The areas of most comon use for the types of machines are as follows:

While most separation
processes involve one solid and one liquid phase, Flottweg's centrifuges can
also be employed for systems consisting of two liquids, two liquids and one
solid, or two solids and one liquid. This degree of flexibility ensures that
Flottweg is able to meet the requirements of an extremely large range of
separation processes.
Over the years Flottweg has
developed a high degree of expertise in many areas of separation. Due to
customer demand the scope of supply has expanded from single pieces of
equipment to complete systems, such as the system for cleaning oil sludge
pictured below. Such systems can be laid out as either stationary or mobile
systems.
