This type of decanter is patented [3] and built by Westfalia. and is used for countercurrent extraction. It is similar to a three-phase decanter, except that the second liquid phase is purposely added separately to pass, in the bowl, through the first liquid phase. The two liquid phases are caused to run countercurrently in the bowl and the wanted product is leached from one phase into the other. Separate designs are available each for heavy and light raffinate. This type of decanter is often used in the pharmaceutical industry. [Pg.89]
