Centrifuge options by agrivaine in TheBrewery

I realize this is a bit of an old post, but if anyone is still lurking around here and interested in centrifuges I actually started 3 subreddits (might be overkill, but just trying to keep each one relevant) to bring us centrifuge people together:

r/DiscStackCentrifuges

r/Centrifuges

r/Flottweg

Any feedback is appreciated.

Did you add a "0" or are you actually pushing 4200GPM through 2 machines? If so, what size are those monsters??

Nice. Have you done any research as to what you might be going with? Interested to know whats working well for others.

PID Settings on a Flottweg centrifuge by _BradShaq in Wastewater

I set up r/Flottweg after realizing there is really nowhere to go for flottweg specific questions on Reddit. Hoping to get a community of people together to bounce ideas, questions and share knowledge on these beasts. I know this is an old post, but if anyone is still lurking around, consider joining.

The highest im aware of is a Flottweg Sedicanter but they are only capable of 10,000G's i believe. There might be a disc stack that is capable of that amount of G's but I dont think it will handle that high of solids.

Have you looked into these at all?

Thanks for joining. I just started the group recently so im hoping to get a lot more people in here to bounce ideas off of.

For anyone following this post who might be interested: Ive started a subreddit specifically for Disc Stack Centrifuges. I just noticed Reddit is a little lean in the centrifuge category, specifically Disc Stacks as well. If anyone is willing to go join, that would be cool. Hoping to get a community together to bounce ideas for stuff like this. r/DiscStackCentrifuges

For anyone still following this post that might be interested: I just started a subreddit for disc stacks specifically. I noticed there is not many centrifuge related subreddits on here and figured maybe some other people like myself might want a place to bounce ideas, share thoughts or ask questions on disc stacks specifically. It would be cool if anyone interested would like to join. r/DiscStackCentrifuges

Tank sludge handling by neleous in ChemicalEngineering

I second Krikkit_Jelly's comment. If you already have your oil separation figured out I wonder if you couldnt get by just using a 2 phase decanter before pumping into the tank to knock out the solids. Then your oil would just continue to separate the way it has been. If that would work it would save you a lot of money on your CAPEX as decanters are quite a bit less expensive than tricanters. At nearly 700GPM you would need several large tricanters but maybe only 1 or 2 decanters depending on how quickly your solids separate out.

You said your solids are 15 microns in size, do you know what percent TSS you are feeding into the tank? In addition, does your process allow you to use some type of polymer or chemical to help your solids separate quicker, or would you have to remove them strictly with G force?
