Abstract
This chapter describes the batch spintube and ultracentrifuge as well as tubular centrifuge. In addition, the versatile centrifugal filter that combines sedimentation, filtration, and chromatography carried out with different functional modules are presented. Each process can be enhanced by the centrifugal field, including the chromatography process that otherwise requires a pressurized system to send the process feed through a chromatography column. In this case, the centrifugal field provides additional driving pressure. Additionally, a semi-batch tubular centrifuge is discussed with either manual or automatic cake discharge. The traditional tubular uses a high length-to-diameter ratio that requires manual cake removal; whereas the more modern tubular, which takes advantage of the solid-basket centrifuge design and has length-to-diameter ratio of order unity, is designed with automatic cake discharge and more space for solid storage; consequently it can take on feed with higher-solids concentration.
