Oil Centrifuge | Industrial Oil Separators from Dolphin Centrifuge

An Oil Centrifuge is a continuous process centrifuge machine capable of continuously separating Water and Sludge from any oil.

An Industrial Oil Water Centrifuge uses discs in the bowl to magnify the effective g-force, making them highly efficient at separating small traces of water and sludge from oil or the other way around. These centrifuges are also known as Disc Stack Separators.

It contains a cylindrical bowl that rotates inside a larger stationary housing. The denser liquid, usually water, accumulates at the rotating bowl's periphery and is collected & discharged. In contrast, the less dense liquid, which is usually oil, accumulates at the rotation axis and is collected & discharged from the center.

Typical configurations of an Industrial Oil Cleaning Centrifuge include:

• Waste Oil Centrifuges for Oil Recycling, Industries, Refineries, etc.
• WVO Centrifuges for Used Vegetable Oil, Yellow Grease, UCO, Used Engine Oil or Motor Oils, etc.
• Diesel Centrifuges for Used/Contaminated Diesel from diesel cleaning operations.
• Centrifugal Oil Water Separators for wash-water contaminated with an oil slick.

As an example - a typical layout of a industrial level centrifuge setup for waste oil is shown below.

The system consists of 3 individual steps which are needed for oil, water and sludge processing at high capacity.

1. Pre-Straining Module - separates debris (i.e., rocks, debris, bolts, etc.) from the untreated waste oil.
2. Decanter Centrifuge Module - to de-sludge the pre-strained oil to separate the bulk of the sludge.
3. Vertical Disc Centrifuge Module - for oil-water separation and to remove small particles down to 1-micron level.
