Hydraulic uptime is largely a contamination-control exercise. The practical question is not “centrifuge or filter,” but which failure mode you are targeting: (1) water, (2) abrasive solids, and (3) oxidation byproducts that behave like “soft contaminants.” In a well-designed program, filtration provides the precision particle barrier, while bypass centrifugation does the heavy lifting on water […]

Filtration vs. Centrifugal Clarification: What’s the Difference? Filtration Filtration uses a porous medium (mesh, cloth, cartridge) to strain suspended solids. In tea processing, it presents limitations: Media clogs quickly with fine tea particulates and precipitates. Frequent replacement or backwashing increases downtime and labour cost. Shear or pressure can compromise delicate flavour/aroma compounds. At high throughput […]

Crystal-Clear Kombucha: How Centrifuge Clarification Elevates Your Brew Kombucha’s signature tang and effervescence have made it one of the fastest-growing beverages in the craft drink market. But behind every crisp, sparkling sip is a production challenge every brewer faces: clarity. Even after fermentation, kombucha often contains yeast cells, tea solids, and other suspended particles that […]

Separation Equipment Company is proud to participate in the quest for viable renewable fuels by providing centrifuges for the tasks at hand. Separation Equipment Company provided Algae centrifuges for concentration of algae prior to extraction of the fuel, we have also provided Vegetable Oil Separators for Gum separation, and Soap separation after chemical treatments of […]

With most major Marine Engine manufacturers seeing the benefits of the plate heat exchanger (PHE); more often than not, the PHE can be found integrated as the OEM cooling system for these propulsion and generator giants. Some of the most popular manufactures employing the plate heat exchanger technology include Caterpillar (CAT), MTU, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, […]
