Tri-Phaser Unit

The Tri-Phaser unit is a self-contained mobile processing system for the secondary phase of separation of liquefied industrial sludge. In addition, it can provide a power source to drive various peripheral equipment to extract and pre-process sludge.

The feed enters the rotating bowl through a stationary feed pipe and is accelerated out of the feed chamber towards the bowl wall. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation rapidly settles the solid particles against the bowl wall. They are transported by the helical screw conveyor towards the conical end of the bowl and ejected through the solid discharge ports.

As the clarified liquid flows along the bowl, centrifugal forces cause the oil and water to separate. This can only be achieved when the correct pretreatment with heat and/or additives has been completed.

The water phase moves towards the periphery of the wall and the oil is displaced towards the axis of the bowl. Both oil and water travel axially toward the opposite end from which solids are discharged. A separation disc at the large end of the screw conveyor prevents the remixing of the two liquid phases prior to their discharge. Purified water that passes under the separation disc is discharged over adjustable weir plates on the head wall of the decanter bowl into a separate housing. Purified oil exits via dip tubes fitted through the bowl wall into a separate housing.

Three Phase Centrifuge

The heart of the system is a horizontal three phase decanter centrifuge that has been modified to provide removal of multiple phases on a continuous basis. The centrifuge features a fully adjustable hydraulic main drive and a unique self-regulating hydraulic back drive. This allows the elimination of traditional methods using a two stage separation system such as two phase decanter centrifuge to remove the solids, followed by a disc separator to split the two liquid phases and complete separation in one stage using one unit.

The combination of these two drives provides a system with multiple advantages over a standard fixed speed main drive and geared back drive, which include the following:

  • No gear box to maintain
  • No shear pins to replace
  • No components breakage due to excessive overloading
  • No torsional vibration (chatter). Vibration is hydraulically dampened
  • Direct reading of torque in discharge
  • Minimum moisture in discharge
  • Cleaner centrate
  • Less sensitive to feed fluctuations

Unit Control System

All hydraulically driven equipment is operated from a central control station. The control station is equipped with controls to adjust the speed and, where applicable, the rotation of the centrifuge as well as pumps and conveyor. It also has instruments for monitoring each of the hydraulically driven components' loads and, where applicable, rotating speeds. Additional controls for diesel engine are also at this location. The entire unit as well as the peripheral equipment is powered by the onboard hydraulic system which utilizes an advanced load-sensing technology to reduce wear and tear and improve fuel economy.
