Decanter Centrifuge for Lactic Acid Separation

Decanter Centrifuge for Lactic Acid Separation
Description

The Decanter Centrifuge for Lactic Acid Separation is designed for continuous solid-liquid separation in lactic acid fermentation and purification processes.

It is suitable for separating fermentation broth solids, bacterial cells, biomass residues, calcium lactate slurry, and other suspended solids generated during lactic acid production.

The centrifuge provides continuous clarification, solids concentration, and liquid recovery, helping improve downstream filtration efficiency, reduce product loss, and support stable industrial-scale lactic acid processing.


Typical Applications
  • Lactic acid fermentation broth clarification
  • Microbial cell and biomass separation
  • Calcium lactate slurry dewatering
  • Fermentation residue concentration
  • Organic acid production wastewater treatment
  • Process liquid recovery before purification
  • Solid-liquid separation before evaporation or refining

Lactic Acid Separation Challenges

High Biomass and Fine Cell Particles

Fermentation broth contains microorganisms and fine suspended solids that are difficult to settle naturally.

Low Density Fermentation Solids

Biomass particles often have small size and low settling speed.

Product Loss During Separation

Lactic acid remains in the liquid phase, while solid residues may retain valuable liquid.

Continuous Production Requirements

Industrial fermentation plants require stable operation with minimal downtime.

Corrosive Fermentation Liquids

Acidic liquids and fermentation chemicals may affect equipment materials.


Lactic Acid Separation Solution

Typical Process Flow:

Lactic Acid Fermentation Broth
→ Feed Tank
→ Optional Flocculant Dosing
→ Decanter Centrifuge
→ Clarified Lactic Acid Liquid + Concentrated Biomass Solids

Clarified Liquid → Purification / Concentration / Refining

Separated Solids → Further Treatment / Disposal / Recovery

Peony Can Provide

  • Fermentation broth testing and centrifuge selection
  • Feed pump and tank integration
  • Adjustable bowl speed and differential speed
  • Corrosion-resistant material configuration
  • PLC automatic control system
  • CIP-friendly design options
  • Liquid and solids collection system

How the Decanter Centrifuge Works

1. Fermentation Broth Feeding

Lactic acid fermentation broth enters the rotating bowl through the feed inlet.

2. Solid Sedimentation

Under centrifugal force, biomass and suspended particles move toward the bowl wall.

3. Liquid Clarification

Separated lactic acid liquid remains in the inner liquid zone and flows toward the clarified liquid outlet.

4. Solids Conveying

The scroll continuously transports concentrated biomass solids toward the discharge end.

5. Continuous Separation

Clarified liquid and dewatered solids are discharged continuously for downstream processing.

FAQ

Can the decanter centrifuge separate lactic acid fermentation broth?

Yes. It is commonly used for separating biomass, fermentation residues, and suspended solids from lactic acid production liquids.

Will it affect lactic acid recovery?

Proper selection of centrifugal force and operating parameters helps maximize liquid recovery and reduce product loss.

Is flocculant required?

Not always. It depends on biomass concentration, particle size, and required liquid clarity.

What materials are suitable for lactic acid processing?

Stainless steel configurations such as SS304 or SS316L can be selected according to corrosion requirements.

Can it operate continuously?

Yes. The decanter centrifuge is designed for continuous feeding, separation, and solids discharge.
