Recently I was explaining to an ex navy guy my idea for an high volume centrifuge. He asked if I was using water in the cleaning process. It seems that when the fuel is being cleaned by the centrifuge on a ship that water is mixed to catch particles then is drained by a valve with the cleaned oil going out a drain in the center area. What I am thinking is to mix the water and oil then put in a large tote then let settle for a while before centrifuging.
I'm wondering if there's a level of mixing that is beyond the point of settling. For our uses is this a waste of time or worth the effort. Maybe this could increase our cleaning efficiency and lower tailpipe particulates. Anybody got any experience of thoughts on this?
