UAE + Disc Centrifuge + Oil-Water Separation

July 8, 2026 UAE (United Arab Emirates)

Product: Disc Centrifuge

Country: UAE

Application: Oil-Water Separation

Oil-water separation is a critical yet challenging task in industrial production and environmental protection. From marine fuel purification and crude oil dehydration to the treatment of oily wastewater and the refining of vegetable oils, the ability to separate oil and water efficiently and rapidly directly impacts product quality, operating costs, and environmental compliance. Thanks to their superior separation performance, Disc Centrifuge have become indispensable core equipment in this field.

Working Principle: Precision Separation in a Centrifugal Force Field

The disc centrifuge is a vertical, high-speed centrifugal separation device. Its core structure consists of a high-speed rotating bowl containing a stack of nested conical discs. Feed material enters through the center of the bowl and flows through the narrow gaps between the discs. Operating at speeds up to 11,000 rpm, the equipment generates a powerful centrifugal force field, achieving separation factors ranging from 4,000 to 10,000 or higher.

Components of differing densities rapidly stratify under the influence of centrifugal force: the light phase (oil) flows along the upper surface of the discs toward the axis and is discharged from the top, while the heavy phase (water) moves along the lower surface of the discs toward the bowl wall, rises, and is discharged through a separate outlet. Solid impurities accumulate against the bowl wall. The multi-disc design drastically reduces settling distances and increases the effective settling area, resulting in separation speeds thousands of times faster than traditional gravity settling methods.

Key Advantages: Why Choose a Disc Centrifuge?

Compared to traditional gravity settling or simple filtration, disc centrifuges offer significant advantages for oil-water separation:

Extremely High Efficiency: Even with oil-water emulsions characterized by minimal density differences (specific gravity differences as low as 0.1%), disc-stack centrifuges achieve highly efficient separation. Typical units can remove over 99% of minute oil droplets and solid particles, achieving separation precision down to 0.1 microns.
Continuous Operation and High Throughput: The equipment supports continuous feeding and automatic solids discharge, eliminating the need for frequent shutdowns for cleaning. Processing capacities reach up to 45 m³/h for manual-discharge models and up to 300 m³/h for nozzle-discharge models.
Compact and highly adaptable. Compared to traditional separation equipment, the disc-stack centrifuge features a compact design and a small footprint. It operates reliably under diverse conditions—including sealed, high-temperature, low-temperature, pressurized, and vacuum environments—and is equipped with an automated control system to meet the demands of modern, intelligent industrial operations.
Three-phase separation in a single step. Certain models can simultaneously separate oil, water, and solids, thereby simplifying process workflows and reducing equipment investment.
