What is Liquid Seal Break or Breakover in Disc Centrifuges? During the normal 3-phase separation process in a disc-stack centrifuge, the heavy phase (typically water) forms a liquid seal around the periphery of the bowl. Under certain conditions, the light phase pushes out the heavy phase and escapes through the heavy phase outlet. This operating […]
