SCS/60/CTS Computer Controlled and Touch Screen 60 l Semicontinuous Centrifugal Separator

The Computer Controlled and Touch Screen 60 l Semicontinuous Centrifugal Separator, "SCS/60/CTS", is able to show, for further research and study, the obtaining of lignin from lignocellulosic biomass.

The unit consists of a tubular centrifuge, a pump and two storage tanks.

The mixture is introduced into the feed tank and pumped to the tubular centrifuge. The mixture, which is subjected to the

spinning and centrifugal force of the cylinder, will tend to carry the heavier phase to the outside of the cylinder (to the walls).

The mixture without solid (lignin) is extracted through the upper part of the unit, by means of overflow and is stored in a tank.

This process is carried out at ambient conditions, because lignin at high temperatures behaves like a rubber and makes separation difficult.

This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
