Process batch discharge centrifuges

Table 18-15 summarizes the several types of commercial centrifuges, their manner of liquid and solids discharge, their unloading speed, and their relative volumetric capacity. When either the liquid or the solids discharge is not continuous, the operation is said to be cycHc. Cyclic or batch centrifuges are often used in continuous processes by providing appropriate upstream and downstream surge capacity.
