Centrifuge Trials Analysis ...Analytical trial facilities on 3 scales

NCD Separation Solutions Ltd. has access to the very latest in test equipment and analytical facilities.

Trials and Analysis takes primarily three forms

Preliminary
Pilot
Full Scale

Preliminary Trials - This very small scale trial will establish whether or not the material in question is suitable for Centrifugal Separation techniques. At the same time the results will indicate whether Filtration or Sedimentation Centrifugal Separation is best suited.

An amazing amount of information can be obtained from this very small analysis. In the majority of cases a representative sample of approximately 1 litre is sufficient to obtain the necessary information needed

Pilot Trials - Once the findings of the preliminary trials have been completed and indications strongly suggest that the material in question is a potential Centrifuge Separation application, slightly larger scale trials must then be carried out.

For these trials representative samples are required and in most cases should require no more than 30 or 40 litres. Following completion of the trials and publication of the report it is possible, in well over 90% of cases, to put forward recommendations for the most appropriate type, size and number of centrifuge units that would be required to fulfill the application/process.

Full Scale - Although the full scale trial is very rarely required, it is viewed as the ideal way forward when trying to gain an understanding regarding the all round capabilities of a material when subjected to Centrifugation Separation Techniques.

The obvious advantage when adopting such a scale of evaluations is that it becomes far easier to recommend the most appropriate Centrifuge to successfully carryout the process. The big disadvantage is that there will be significantly high capital costs incurred.
