Product Description

Chlorella Algae Harvest Centrifuge Vertical Disc Stack Algae Centrifuge

Harvesting algae cultures with more efficiently
algae are all-purpose: algae is suitable as raw materials for food, biofuels, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and more. In order to optimize the yield of raw materials, manufacturers need state-of-the-art harvesting technology. 
 

Separators and centrifuges for algae harvesting are essential tools for the efficient processing of algae, oils, and other plant by-products in industrial scale. Disc stack centrifuges achieve up to 100 % separation compared to other methods. Another centrifuge, the disc centrifuge, combines the high separation rates of a separator with the dewatering performance of a decanter.

When selecting an algae centrifuge, it's important to consider the device's centrifugal force, which can vary from 3.000 - 12.000 g to ensure optimal cell separation for your specific volume requirements, which could range from algae contents of 0.1 g /l to 50 g/l for industrial-scale operations. Compatibility with your facility's space, whether a compact lab or a larger industrial plant, is also a critical factor. Find out more about the latest industry standards to choose a centrifuge that aligns with your operational needs.

 

Customer Benefits

Algae harvesting with the Shenzhou Separator

The algae suspension flows from the photobioreactor directly into the Shenzhou Separator. Then the distributor gently accelerates the suspension to full speed. Due to the high centrifugal force of up to 12,000 g, the separator dewaters the algae suspension producing an algae concentrate with creamy consistency. Thus making the algae concentrate ideal for further processing. Small to medium-sized plant benefit in particular from the low investment and low operating costs of the single-stage process.

• up to 25 percent lower investment costs
• lower costs for further processing or drying due to a very high-quality algae concentrate
• suitable for medium and small businesses

 Algae harvesting with the Decanter centrifuge

Algae harvesting with the decanter centrifuge is a two-stage process that is ideal for larger operations: The algae suspension from the photobioreactor is initially pre-concentrated. The algae concentrate then flows on into the Shenzhou decanter centrifuge, where the cell harvesting takes place. The decanter centrifuge dewaters the algae concentrate to a compact cake with 22 to 25 percent dry substance content. Only this special decanter centrifuge is capable of thickening the fine and soft algae cells in such an efficient way.

The pre-concentration in the two-stage process saves energy when compared with single-stage processes. The more water that is separated beforehand, the less the centrifuge has to separate.

• up to 60 percent lower operating costs (e.g. energy)
• up to 25 percent lower investment costs
• 22 to 25 percent high dry solids content for optimum further processing

Operating principles

Separation takes place inside a rotating bowl. The feed is introduced to the rotating centrifuge bowl from the top via a stationary inlet pipe (1),and is accelerated in the distributor(2),which was specially designed to ensure smooth acceleration of the feed liquid(4). Leaving the distributor, the feed enters the disc stack(3). The separation into liquid-liquid-solid takes place between the discs, with the oil phase moving through the disc stack to the centre. When it reaches the centre, it is discharged through hole (5) and ejected into the collecting frame. The water and heavy solid separated from the oil move to the periphery, and the water flows via channels in the top disc(6) to the paring chamber, where it is pumped out of the rotor by means of a built-in paring disc(7).During purification, hot water is fed into the inlet of the bowl before the process liquid is introduced. The water forms a seal around the outer edge of the top disc. The solid collect in the periphery where they are discharged intermittently via the centrifuge cyclone. The solid are discharged by means of a hydraulic system, which forces the sliding bowl bottom(8)to drop down at preset suitable intervals, thus opening the solid ports at the bowl periphery
