Gravity Decanter

A gravity decanter is a type of separation equipment used in various industries to separate solids from liquids based on the force of gravity. In the process, the mixture of liquid and solid is allowed to settle naturally, where denser solids fall to the bottom, and the clearer liquid is separated from the top. Gravity decanters are commonly used in wastewater treatment, oil recovery, and chemical processing to efficiently remove suspended solids without the need for external mechanical forces.

Decanters are used for the separation of two immiscible liquids of different densities from one another. This process is called decantation. The difference in densities of two immiscible liquids is responsible for such a separation. Separating two immiscible liquids often relies on the density difference of the phases involved. This process is commonly encountered in […]
