Disc stack centrifuge nozzle separator

FIG. 18-154 Disc stack-centrifuge bowls a) separator, solid wall (b) recycle clarifier, nozzle discharge. 

The disc-stack centrifuge with continuous solids discharge is called a nozzle discharge machine. The special nozzles mounted in the periphery of the bowl allow for continuous operation with a liquid-Uqnid-soUd feed, separating this mixture into two relatively clean liquid streams and a thick solids suspension. The concentration of this solids discharge can be controlled to meet process requirements.
