How does a GEA Westfalia OSE separator work?

In this animation, GEA Westfalia Separator illustrates the working principle of the GEA Westfalia OSE clarifier centrifuge and GEA Westfalia OSE purifier centrifuge.

The GEA OSE centrifuges are equipped with a self-cleaning disc-type bowl. They are employed for clarification and purification in fuel oil (up to a density of 1.01 g /ml) and lube oil treatment plants. The oil is conveyed to the centrifuge by means of a separate pump.
