Classification Unit - Implemented in DyssolPro

Decanter Centrifuge Simulation for Solids Processes

Model decanter centrifuge steps inside a connected process line. Evaluate separation together with synthesis, washing, drying, and downstream treatment.

The DyssolPro unit library lists decanter centrifuge, and the zeolite-production example uses decanter washing/concentration before spray drying and calcination.

Decanter centrifuge in the unit library

For flowsheets where separation quality affects the next process step.

Connect decanter centrifuge models with upstream synthesis or washing and downstream drying, storage, or thermal treatment.

Implemented unit

Decanter centrifuge

Classification/separation unit for liquid-solid process steps in DyssolPro.

Application context

Washing and concentration

Documented Dyssol zeolite work includes decanter washing/concentration before drying and calcination.

Decanter separation in the full process

Connect liquid-solid separation with upstream and downstream units.

Bring in slurry or suspension streams

Represent feed material with phase fractions and particle-centered properties.

Connect separation products

Route separated material to drying, filtration, storage, or further process units.

Evaluate process-level sensitivity

Study how upstream feed changes affect separation and the next unit operation.

Decanter study scope

Useful when separation is one step of a larger production train.

What DyssolPro brings

Capabilities that matter for separation teams.

Dynamic flowsheet simulation

Time-dependent simulation for startup, shutdown, batch, semi-batch, and continuous operating scenarios.

Multidimensional solids properties

Particle-centered modeling with interdependent properties such as size, composition, and moisture across connected units.

Population-balance workflows

PSD tracking and transformation-matrix workflows for process studies where particle size distribution matters.

Custom model development

Model Maker supports implementation, testing, and validation of company-specific unit models.

Typical engineering studies

Common studies for decanter projects.

Operating-window studies

Compare parameter sets inside the connected process instead of studying one isolated apparatus.

Sensitivity analysis

Use the integrated sensitivity analysis tool for implemented process units in DyssolPro.

Optimization studies

Evaluate process settings against target product properties or process-performance metrics.

Custom-model extension

Extend the model library when a project needs proprietary correlations, geometry, or company-specific logic.
