This unit procedure simulates partitioning of solutes between two liquid phases in a centrifugal extractor. They constitute the equipment of choice when short residence time and floor space is critical.
● Heavy Phase Input: the designated input port for the heavy phase.
● Light Phase Input: the designated input port for the light phase.
● Light Phase Output: the designated output port for the light phase.
● Heavy Phase Output: the designated output port for the heavy phase.
The following operation types are currently supported in the context of this unit procedure:
● Extract, see Centrifugal Extraction
● CIP, see Clean-In-Place (CIP)
● Hold, see Holding
● SIP, see Steam-In-Place (SIP)
Note that operations CIP, Hold, and SIP are only available in semi-continuous operating mode.
The following procedures offer a similar functionality:
