Separation Equipment

Most industrial processes need separation of liquids from each other or liquids from solids. Valutech offers a complete range of separation equipment from Alfa Laval, the world leaders in this technology. The need to separate different liquid phases and solids from each other is part of practically every industrial process. Alfa Laval has more than one hundred and twenty years of experience in meeting this requirement using either decanter or disc stack centrifuge technology, and their products perform this crucial function exceptionally well.

Separation Equipment by Alfa Laval:
Decanter Centrifuges
Disc Stack Centrifuges
Drum Thickeners

The two basic principles of separation are: Sedimentation and Filtration. The Alfa Laval range of equipment uses the sedimentation technique through Rotating Wall centrifuges. The settling velocity, hence the separation efficiency, is increased by introducing rotation. The same degree of efficiency cannot be accomplished in an ordinary settling tank where gravitational separation is used. Introducing centrifugal force and applying the principle of density difference between two liquids or between a liquid and a solid achieve the separation.

Applications
The Alfa Laval product range is based on disc stack centrifuges and decanter centrifuges for separating liquids from each other or for removing solid particles from liquids. These products are used for many different functions in the food and other process industries, on board ships to purify fuel and lubricating oil, on oil platforms to separate oil and water, in manufacturing industry to clean industrial fluids, and for industrial and municipal sewage treatment.
