Fuel Purifier and Clarifier Fundamentals (Centrifugal Separators)

Want to separate water and solids from oil in an efficient manner? Then you will need a centrifugal separator! Purifiers and clarifiers are types of centrifugal separators, also known as ‘centrifuges’. These machines are used throughout many engineering industries for things like:

• Removing solids and water from fuel oil (water from diesel etc.).

• Removing fat from milk to make skimmed milk (the removed fat is sold as cream).

• Removing gums and lecithin from vegetable oil (improves quality of oil, gums sold as a by-product). 

Without centrifugal separators, it would be very hard to produce the volume of substances that humans need. But…what are these amazing machines and how do they work? In this course, you will find out!

This course focuses on marine fuel oil purifiers, but the knowledge gained can be transferred to many engineering industries. Other important info…
