A high-speed centrifuge is a type of separator which is used on a ship to remove contamination from liquids such as fuel and lube oils. It is imperative to carry out this treatment in order to remove solid impurities and water before they are supplied to the marine engine. Thus, the task of the centrifuge is to remove solid contamination from liquid and to remove undesirable liquid (water) from useful liquids (fuel).
Principle of Working:
The separation principle of high-speed centrifuge depends on the difference in the specific gravity of two different liquids. To understand, let’s take a settling tank where fuel is stored and because of the difference in the gravity of water and fuel (water is heavier) the water gets collected at the bottom part of the due to the effect of gravity.
Mathematically this process can be represented by:
Fs = ∏/6x D3 (ρw-ρo) g
Where Fs is the separating force, ρw is the density of water, ρo is the density of oil and “g” is gravitational force.
Now if we convert the tank into a conical rotating object, then the gravitational factor g will be replaced by the centrifugal force ω2 r, where ω2 is angular velocity of rotation and r is the effective radius.
Fs = ∏/6x D3 (ρw-ρo) ω2 r.
Now the separating force will be much higher in the centrifuge as compare to a settling tank.
There are normally two types based on the application:
1) Purifier: When a centrifuge is arranged for separating two liquids of different densities, for e.g. water from oil, it is known as a purifier. The main component of purifier is correct size gravity disc or dam ring which is responsible for creating an interface between the oil and water.
2) Clarifier: When a centrifugal is arranged to remove only impurities and a small amount of water, it is called as the clarifier. Since it is used mainly for that fluid were mostly solid impurities are to be removed, gravity disc is not used in clarifier; instead, a sealing ring is used to keep the impurities intact unless desludged.

@Carl Damien i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Carl Damien It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account!

What is the best type of feed pump to use for Alfa Laval Centrifuge in Rendering industry for Bio-fuel. we are having problems with the high salt content wearing our Roppa Pumps out after 2 weeks. Can you offer any solutions?

Of how much viscosity fuel oil is transferred to purifier??

What's the purpose of sealing water ??

That sliding bowl is thick and hard. And secured with nut with 200 Nm torque on bigger separator. I wonder how it slide up to seal the bowl even if it is secured tightly 🤔🤔 centrifugal force?

[@marineinsight]

Yes and it floats in water

Sir why water adding and separate in purifier??

the fuel from bunker is transfered to storage tank and after to settling tank*

Sir why heater needed before centrifuge works??

[@marineinsight]

For better seperation

[@markbeale7390]

Makes oil thin + more fluid.

this machine can have separate water, oil lubricate and fuel diesel

[@user-tc4vq9cs6d]

May be 20-40mt/day not 200-400mt/day?

[@timohacquebord9135]

More like 150-250 tons/day for 7.000-10.000 TEU container ship, with around 10.000 m^3 of fuel onboard, depending on the required range. For example the MSC Altamira with 8.886 TEU, consuming 160 tons/day and bunkers of 9.000 m^3 of HFO (heavy fuel oil)
