Dolphin Centrifuge supplies parts, repairs, and custom clarifier modules built around remanufactured Alfa Laval WHPX 513 separators. Each module includes PLC touch-screen controls, a stainless steel feed pump, and a pre-filter. Clarifier flow and particle separation are sized for the customer's actual fluid and performance target.
Centrifuge Module Overview
The Alfa Laval WHPX 513 is a self-cleaning disc stack centrifuge designed for separation of mixed fluids and sludge. In this Dolphin configuration, it operates as a two-phase clarifier for removing suspended solids from process liquids.
The WHPX 513 uses a 15 HP motor. Clarifier flow and achievable particle separation depend on the feed liquid, solids loading and size distribution, temperature, target clarity, and module configuration. Dolphin uses process data and, when appropriate, sample testing to size wastewater and other clarification duties.
Dolphin Centrifuge is the independent specialist in Alfa Laval centrifuges. Apart from Alfa Laval itself, Dolphin is the reliable source for quality Alfa Laval machines: remanufactured centrifuges, turnkey systems, parts, and service, built on 40+ years of Alfa Laval experience and led by Sanjay Prabhu, MSME. The skid, controls, and ancillaries are Dolphin engineering; the centrifuge at the heart of the module is a genuine Alfa Laval WHPX 513, also supplied as the Dolphin DMPX-070 module. Dolphin is an independent remanufacturer and is not affiliated with Alfa Laval.
This centrifuge module ships as a complete, turnkey system with all ancillary equipment pre-installed, pre-wired, and tested. Simply connect your process piping and power, and the system is ready for operation. For ongoing centrifuge repair and maintenance, Dolphin Centrifuge provides full field service support.
Custom-built centrifuge modules available
Dolphin Centrifuge builds each WHPX 513 centrifuge module to your application requirements. Modules include PLC controls, a feed pump, and a pre-filter, and are factory tested before shipment. Sample testing is available to verify performance for your fluid.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the WHPX 513 Centrifuge Module used for? ▼
The WHPX 513 Centrifuge Module is a custom two-phase clarifier system for removing suspended solids from process liquids. It can be configured for wastewater clarification, machine coolant recovery, and industrial fluid polishing. Flow rate and achievable particle separation are application-specific and should be established from feed data and, when needed, sample testing.
What is included in the WHPX 513 module package? ▼
The module includes the Alfa Laval WHPX 513 self-cleaning disc stack centrifuge, PLC touchscreen control panel, stainless steel feed pump, pre-filter assembly, skid frame, and interconnecting pipework. It is pre-wired and factory tested. Dolphin Centrifuge custom-builds each module to the customer's application requirements.
How does the centrifuge module handle sludge discharge? ▼
The WHPX 513's self-cleaning bowl automatically discharges accumulated solids at programmable intervals using hydraulically operated discharge valves. Discharge takes only a few seconds and does not interrupt fluid flow. The sludge is collected in an integrated sludge tank within the module. No manual bowl opening or cleaning is required between service intervals.
What flow rate and separation performance does the WHPX 513 achieve? ▼
There is no universal WHPX 513 clarifier flow rate or particle-cut guarantee. Both depend on the feed liquid, solids, temperature, target clarity, and system configuration. For reference only, the WHPX 513 base separator has a published marine-diesel application capacity of 16,400 L/h (72.21 US GPM) at 13 cSt and 40 °C, plus a rated reference value of 24,500 L/h (107.87 US GPM) whose source fluid is not specified. Neither number is a wastewater or clarifier capacity.
Can Dolphin Centrifuge supply parts or service the WHPX 513 module? ▼
Yes. Dolphin Centrifuge provides parts, complete overhauls, and field service for the WHPX 513 and its ancillary module components including the feed pump, PLC panel, and pre-filter. Contact us to schedule preventive maintenance or obtain a parts quotation.
