8000L/H Disc Oil Separator Centrifuge Biodiesel Glycerin Separation with 11kW Motor SS316L 440V Automatic Discharge

8000L/H Biodiesel Glycerin Separation Disc Oil Separator Centrifuge

The HLSEP HL-DOS8000B disc oil separator centrifuge is specifically engineered for the demanding conditions of biodiesel production, providing high-efficiency glycerin separation from crude biodiesel after transesterification. With SS316L chemical-grade construction, 11kW drive motor, and automatic sludge discharge, this centrifuge integrates seamlessly into continuous biodiesel production lines for commercial-scale operations.

Key Features

• Biodiesel-Optimized Separation: Custom disc stack configuration designed for the density difference between biodiesel (0.88 g/cm³) and glycerin (1.26 g/cm³), achieving clean phase separation with ≥80% glycerin purity in a single pass without additional settling time
• SS316L Chemical-Grade Construction: All product-contact components in SS316L stainless steel with enhanced resistance to methanol, sodium methoxide catalyst residues, and free fatty acid soaps present in crude biodiesel streams
• Automatic Sludge Discharge: Programmable timed sludge ejection system removes accumulated soapstock and catalyst residues without process interruption, enabling 24/7 continuous biodiesel production with minimal operator attendance
• Explosion-Proof HMI Control: ATEX-compatible PLC control panel with intrinsically safe touch screen interface for safe operation in biodiesel plants where methanol vapor may be present, with automated safety interlocks
• 440V Industrial Power System: Configured for standard 440V 3-phase industrial power supply commonly available in chemical processing and biodiesel manufacturing facilities worldwide

Production Line Integration

The HL-DOS8000B is designed for direct integration between the transesterification reactor and biodiesel washing stages. Processing 8000L/H of crude biodiesel, the centrifuge rapidly separates the glycerin-rich phase, reducing downstream water washing requirements and minimizing methanol recovery load. The automatic sludge discharge maintains consistent separation performance by preventing soapstock accumulation in the bowl, reducing maintenance downtime by over 70% compared to manual-clean designs.

Applications

• Biodiesel glycerin separation (post-transesterification)
• Crude biodiesel washing and water separation
• Soapstock removal from biodiesel
• Waste cooking oil pretreatment
• Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) purification
