Consider this gas-tight decanter when explosion is a risk

| By Chemical Engineering

For applications exposed to the risk of explosions, this firm has developed a new gas-tight decanter (photo). The decanter will be available in two versions, one for clarifying and another for extraction. As a flat-cone machine CE 345, the gas-tight decanter is used as a typical clarifying decanter for solid-liquid processes. It is primarily used for removing solids from media that are exposed to a risk of explosion. The steep-cone version CE 346 is an extraction decanter in a three-phase design that separates water and solids as the heavy phase from light solvent phase, the valuable product. This decanter combines mixing and separation in a single machine. Hall 4.0, Stand D13 – G22 — GEA Westfalia Separator GmbH, Oelde, Germany
