Static separator
Thread Content
Friends. I would like to ask what the working principle of a static separator is My understanding is that a static separator separates substances based on their different densities – is this correct?
For example, water and oils – since oils have a low density and float on the surface while water remains below – can be separated from each other using a static separator
You’re right; it mainly relies on the difference in density for separation. Of course, there is a prerequisite: the components must be immiscible with each other. It should also be noted that the static separation involves not only the separation of oil and water in the liquid phase, but also the separation of liquid and solid suspensions.
It depends on the requirements for separation. For ordinary rapid separation, I have a patent for a fully automatic oil-water separator: when a mixture of oil and water is fed in, the oil and water come out separately through their respective outlets, allowing for continuous input and output. It can also be fed intermittently. Anyway, as much oil and water is added, that much oil and water comes out. If there is some emulsification of oil and water, it is necessary to separate them as much as possible. Then it needs to be left to stand for a longer time; it entirely depends on your own requirements. I also have some that have been left to stand for 24 hours; on the next day, I drain the water first and then the oil.
Yes, depending on the different densities of the two-phase liquid, sedimentation and separation occur after it is left to stand
We have continuous neutralization and washing as well as continuous phase separation process technologies; feel free to ask for details
It can be understood as you see it; in some cases, it depends on changes in temperature and settlement height – the medium is relatively stationary rather than absolutely stationary.
