Evodos introduces Type 10 centrifuge for algae separations
19 August 2012
Algae separations equipment company Evodos recently introduced its type 10 centrifugal machine constructed with Evodos’ Spiral Plate Technology. The Type 10, with a feed flow of 750 liters per hour, is targeted for use by research institutions, inoculation processes, small scale algae operations and testing for algae harvesting and various other mixtures.
Evodos says that its Spiral Plate Technology allows high separation effectiveness at minimal energy demand; the energy requirement is 0.95 kWh per m3 of mixture processed.
Under laminar flow, the suspended particles sediment at a minimum settling distance. The separation process takes place at only 3000 Gs—and so on minimal energy demand. The solids are discharged as dry as possible with centrifugal technology since the remaining process liquid is removed from the drum before actual discharge. The result is a high separation effectiveness combined with dry solid discharge at low energy requirement.
