| Description of Operations: |
Based on the centrifuge principle, the particles are spun against the outside wall of the separator and gravitate towards the bottom into the sedimentation tank.
- The velocity at which the water or solution flows through the separator determines the efficiency at which the particles are separated from the water or solution.
- The loss between the inlet and outlet of the separator ranges from 3 to 7 psi.
|
- A tester can help in determining the need for a separator: if values from 2 to 20 ppm are measured, a separator is recommended.
- The flow during operation of the system needs to be fairly constant to ensure effectiveness of separator.
- The drain valve should be made automatic with high parts per million of sand.
