Decanters

Decanters are mechanical devices used in the separation of mixtures, typically in liquid-solid or liquid-liquid systems, based on differences in density. In chemical engineering and industrial applications, decanters are used for tasks like separating oil from water, solid particles from liquids, or clarifying liquids. They work by rotating at high speeds, creating centrifugal force that aids in the separation process. Decanters are commonly used in wastewater treatment, oil processing, and food industries.
