Altiras Labs provides centrifuge studies to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of separation processes across a range of industries. Centrifugation is a powerful method for separating components based on their densities. This enables the classification of particles, dewatering of materials, and ensuring the purity of chemical compounds. At Altiras Labs, we specialize in conducting centrifuge studies that provide valuable insights into two primary areas of separation:
1️⃣ Separation of Solids from Liquids
2️⃣ Separation of Liquids from Other Liquids
Why Centrifugation Matters
Centrifugation is a technique used in chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental, and petrochemical industries and more. By applying centrifugal force, it effectively separates different phases or components, which can improve product quality, reduce waste, enhance process efficiency, and lower operational costs. The method is particularly beneficial for:
- Purifying Chemicals: Ensuring that chemical compounds are free from impurities and achieving desired purity levels for further processing or final use.
- Classifying Chemical Particles: Sorting particles based on size and density, which is crucial for consistent product quality and optimal performance.
- Wastewater Treatment: Separating solid waste from water in wastewater treatment processes leads to cleaner effluents and reduced environmental impact.
- Catalyst Recovery: Recovering valuable catalysts from chemical reactions, minimizing waste, and reducing the cost of purchasing new materials.
Tailored Centrifuge Studies to Meet Your Needs
At Altiras Labs, we recognize that each industry and application comes with challenges and requirements. This is why we meticulously tailor our centrifuge studies for separation processes to suit the specific needs of your operations.
Our studies cover various types of centrifugation processes, including:
- Batch and Continuous Centrifugation: To suit different operational scales and requirements.
- Clarification and Separation: For separating fine particles or liquids that are difficult to separate by other means.
- Decantation and Filtration Centrifugation: For applications requiring specific moisture content or particle size distribution.
- High-Speed and Low-Speed Centrifugation: Optimized based on the nature of the materials and the desired separation efficiency.
Determining the Right Centrifuge Type and Operating Conditions
Choosing the appropriate type of centrifuge and defining the optimal operating conditions are critical for achieving efficient separation. Our studies delve into:
- Centrifuge Type Selection: Whether it’s a decanter centrifuge, disk-stack centrifuge, tubular bowl centrifuge, or basket centrifuge, we help you select the most suitable equipment.
- Operational Conditions Optimization: We analyze key parameters such as rotational speed (RPM), residence time, temperature, and feed concentration to ensure the most efficient separation process.
- Material Compatibility: Our team evaluates the chemical compatibility of the materials involved with the centrifuge materials, minimizing wear and tear and preventing contamination.
- Energy Efficiency Analysis: Ensuring that the separation process is energy-efficient, thereby reducing operational costs.
