Flottweg Tricanter ®
3-phase separation
The Flottweg Tricanter® is a horizontal solid bowl centrifuge which performs a three-phase separation; the simultaneous separation of two immiscible liquids with different densities and one solid phase.
The Flottweg Tricanter® discharges the heavy liquid through an adjustable impeller under pressure and the light phase by gravity.
The variable impeller allows for precise on-the-fly adjustment of the pond depth and liquid-liquid separation zone. This optimizes the purity of the liquids to such an extent that it may eliminate downstream equipment. Capacities to 80m3/hr.
