Decanter Centrifuge Manufacturers?

Wondering who has experience with decanter centrifuge’s and found any good manufacturers? How’s it compare to the normal centrifuges out there? Looking to process around 1,000 lbs of biomass in an 8hr shift

Alfa laval sets the bar. You should look at smaller processes for only half a ton.

Awesome - can you do this with cryo ethanol?

This point has been argued here repeatedly. Physically so long as all seals are rated for low temp yes but at that scale its easier and more cost effective to do post wash filtration and winterization.

By cryo i assume you mean low temp not -150c actual cryogenic temps.

true cryogenics would freeze ethanol solid.

They extract 70 to 80% liquid from biomass so secondary recovery is required if you care about your remaining solvent. One company has put two in series as a solution. New cost is about 500k, used start around 80k. Many styles and variations available. There is a $300 decanter centrifuge handbook i have that is informative if you want to know the math and details to design/build one.

What sorts of things are you using disk-stacks for?

You mean specific to the the hemp/CBD industry or in general?

Specifically in your hemp installs.

The disc-stack centrifuges we have supplied are mainly for ethanol/solvent clarification post biomass separation. Have worked with one application using water - for water / CBD oil separation! We are currently doing trials for crude CBD oil clarification (post hydrocarbon solvent removal) with our pilot-scale disc-stack centrifuge.
