3-phase separating decanter for oil recovery
In the vegetable oil industry, efficient separation of oil, water, and solids is crucial for optimal production. Challenges include high dilution water usage and waste water management, which affect both yield and environmental impact.
Separate oil, water, and solids efficiently
The 3-Phase Separating Decanter from GEA is designed for the effective recovery of vegetable crude oil, such as olive and palm oil. It works by separating the oil, water, and solids from the olive pulp or palm oil sludge, with high precision due to its optimal differential speed settings. This decanter requires a considerable amount of dilution water to achieve high separation accuracy. In olive oil production, these decanters also treat wastewater, reducing its volume and COD value, thereby enhancing oil yield by up to 0.5 percent relative to the quantity of olives processed. The GEA cetec technology incorporated offers an additional 1-2 percent yield in olive oil recovery. These decanters operate with high speeds for maximum throughput and maintain full performance under all conditions, ensuring a long service life and ease of operation.
