3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT

The sludge centrifuge has been specially designed to serve the purpose
of reclaiming the palm oil present in the sludge water from-the
clarifying plant.

Sand and other impurities in sludge water are apt to set heavy wear
on the centrifuge. Therefore, the machine is made of exceptionally
high-grade materials.

Owing to the simplicity of its design, the centrifuge requires a minimum

of upkeep, while the various components parts can be replaced quickly
and without any difficulty.

The machine consists of the following parts :­

- a bottom section and a top section.
- a bowl housing.
- a bowl.

The bottom section is fitted with flanges serving the purpose of securing
the centrifuge to its foundation as well as a flange connection for the
waste drain pipe.
The top section is mounted on the bottom section by means of a flange
connection. An inspection cover in the top section permits access to
the nozzles.
An arrow on the top section indicated the direction of rotation of the bowl.
THE BOWL MUST NEVER ROTATE AGAINST THE DIRECTION
INDICATED BY THE ARROW!

Within the top and bottom sections are two dish-shaped sections of
cast iron which, together with the wearings strips, from the bowl housing
within which the bowl rotates.
The bowl bearings are supported in the bowl housing and have
bearing covers to keep out dust.

The star-shaped bowl has two shaft journal, one of which is hollow to
permit the supply of the heated oily sludge. The other serves the
purpose of driving the bowl.
The free end can be made to carry a rope or belt pulley, as required.

The points of the bowl are fitted with nozzle holders, which retain the
nozzles, through which the non-oily sludge water can escape.
The position of these holders is fixed (by means of a pin) in such a manner
as to make the direction of jetting opposite to the direction of rotation
of the bowl.

NEVER CHANGE THIS POSITION !

The oil will be discharge through a pipe mounted in the centre of the
hollow journal.
4. (A) GENERAL OPERATION

In the sludge centrifuge, whose basic construction is shown on drawing,

the heated oil sludge is fed under pressure by means of a feed
distribution bend supply hot sludge through value A to the centre of the
12 star-shaped rotary bowl.

The oily sludge coming from the clarification plant contains apart from water,
sand and other contaminations, the palmoil to be recovered.

In the entirely filled rotary star bowl the oily sludge will be accelerated axially
as well as radially as a result of the centrifugal force set-up. The particles
making up the sludge will also be accelerated. The extent of acceleration
depends on the specific gravity of the particle concerned.

Water and sand particles for example will be subjected to more acceleration
than those containing oil. Consequently the heavier particles will be
flung to the outer tips of the entirely filled star bowl where they are discharged
through the nozzle (non-oily sludge) to the bowl housing and frame.
From here, complete and free discharge of the non-oily sludge should be
enabled via discharge (sludge outlet) and a sloping (non-shuttable) pipe.

The light particles containing oil will, however, remain more or less in the
centre of the rotary star bowl and are discharged freely through
oil discharge pipe C.
The length of this pipe should not exceed 2 m.
4. (B) CAPACITY VARIATION

The capacity of the sludge centrifuge can be adjusted by replacing the fitted
nozzles 3 by nozzles whose bore is either larger or smaller.

The capacity can be set as follows:-

Capacity ( litre per hour ) Nozzle bore in mm

13,000 litre Diameter 1. 7

15,000 litre Diameter 1.9

fitted when supplied
4. (C) PREPARING FOR OPERATION

When the centrifuge is started up for the first time, the packing of the
shaft seal should be fitted loosely enough for the bowl to be rotated by _hand.
Every time prior to starting the centrifuge it is necessary.
To check proceed as follows:-

1. Close oil discharge C and oily-sludge supply A.

2. Open hot-water supply B and fill star bowl.
3. Remove inspection cover and check whether All nozzles
operate discharge even jets (rotate star bowl by hand)

IF NOT

4. Clear nozzle bores 3.

If required result is not obtained

5. Loosen nut 2 by means of the wrench supplied.Remove

nozzle holder 1 and clean nozzle 3.

N.B. Instruction for refitting nozzle holders must get the supply from
the Original Equipment Manufacture to minimize the difference in weight
and all the nozzle holder must been the same weight. Keeping the
permissible weight tolerance in check and thus ensuring that the bowl
does not get out of balance. The permissible weight difference
must not exceed 10 grammes.

If there is too much dirt in star bowl:

6. Remove all nozzle holders 1 and flush bowl with hot water,
clean nozzles, etc.

For refitting nozzle holders:

When all parts have been refitted and checked again:

7. Refit inspection cover and unit will be ready for operation.

NOTE : make sure that hexagon union nuts 2 are tightened properly so
that the seal between nozzle holder 1 is absulutely leakproof.
4. (D) STARTING
Do not start unit prior having followed up the instruction as given.
Starting point is :
- The supply of oily sludge and make-up hot water is warranted
throughout the period of operation.
Valves A, B, C and D are closed.
1. Open water supply D.
Shut water supply D to the packing so far as to allow a small quantity of
water to trikle from packing; This will prevent the machine from running hot.
If one should keep ,the hot water valve too for open, the quantity of sludge
water handled will be considerably smaller, because much sludge water
will then be displaced by fresh water.
2. Open hot water supply B fully and fill bowl.
3. Do not start centrifuge until the bowl has been completely filled. Check
the direction of rotating (refer to arrow on top section)

IMPORTANT NOTE
Under no circumstances may the centrifuge be operated with an empty of
party filled star bowl, since it will bring the star bowl out of balance.
So, supply hot water B must always be fully open, when starting operation.

4. Open oil discharge C fully.

5. Open oily sludge supply A gradually and close hot water supply B slowly,
so that the rotating bowl remains entirely filled when the oily sludge
supplied is displacing the water from the bowl.
This implies : Hot water supply B must never be closed completely
until sludge supply A is fully open.
6. To ensure the miximum effect, valve C should be adjusted in such a
manner that the outflowing oil contains approx. 40% residual water.

During operation, check at regular times whether :

1. The oil flows off constantly at C.
2. The non-oily sludge flows off constantly at discharge.
3. Clean water trickles from packing.
4. Centrifuge runs smoothly.

IFNOT:
Stop centrifuge immediately and check whether one or more nozzles
are clogged.
4. (E) STOPPING

Proceed as follows to stop centrifuge

- Open hot water supply B fully.

- Oily sludge supply A is closed.

Leave centrifuge in operation until there is no more sludge in the bowl.

Discharge outlet will discharge clean water.

- Stop machine and shut hot water supply B at the same time so that
the bowl will empty itself as it comes to a standstill.

This will keep any deposit of dirt from setting in the bowl.

- Close cold water supply D and oil discharge C.

Every time prior to starting the centrifuge, it is necessary to check whether

the nozzles are not clogged.
