Diesel Recon operates two mobile centrifuges for fuel purification.  Both of these units are designed to provide the safest, most reliable and efficient fuel purification available to our customers. 

As diesel fuel is pumped into the centrifuge, any molecules that are more dense than the fuel, such as water and particulate, are forced to the outside of the rotating assembly.  Clean fuel exits the machine from one location, with water and solids exiting another.  Centrifugal separation of diesel and other fuel oils is a military-proven method for removing water and particulate contamination.  

The feed is introduced to the rotating centrifuge bowl from the top via a stationary inlet pipe (1), and is accelerated in a distributor (2) before entering the disc stack (3).  It is between the discs that the separation of the two liquid phases and the solids take place.

The oil phase moves towards the center of the bowl and is discharged by a paring disc (4).  The water phase leaves the bowl over the top disc (5) and through a pairing disc (6).  The heavier solids phase is collected at the bowl periphery, from where it is discharged intermittently.   

The solids discharge is achieved by a hydraulic system below the separation space in the bowl, which at preset intervals, forces the sliding bowl bottom (7) to drop down, thus opening the solids ports at the bowl periphery.  The bowl is mounted on a vertical spindle (8) driven by a vertically mounted motor, via a belt drive.  Solids / sludge / particulate is removed from stored diesel fuel.
