Abstract

The separation of materials by centrifugation, using centrifuges are the basis of many industrial processes. In the oil and gas centrifuges used in cleaning crude oil from water, drilling fluids from the rocks, and also in the purification of water for domestic and industrial needs. The main disadvantage of centrifuges used is the difficulty of removal of sediment particles from the pores of the filter surface, thus increasing the resistance to filtration, and the need to stop the centrifuge to recovery (regeneration) of the filter surface, and to reduce its technical performance. Finding ways and decide regeneration has led to the use in centrifuges and separators filter surfaces having sections with different curvatures, including reverse. The design of the inertial filter separator is protected by a utility patent. Found the working conditions of the separator, in which achieved complete regeneration of pores of the filter surface due to the simultaneous action of inertia forces and phenomena hydraulic wedge. The accuracy of fulfillment of conditions are confirmed by experimental tests of the elastic separator, the separating surface. It is noted that the elastic separator has a high regenerative abilities, so for example, when you clean bulk materials number of holes with trapped particles in them and unable to pass on its size through the hole in the percentage did not exceed 3...5 of their total number. The use of inertial filter separator in the purification of liquids and finely dispersed suspensions will allow the processes of filtration and regeneration that will improve performance.
