In this paper, based on the concept of solid particles' hovering problem the working formula for the channel design of a Decanter-type centrifuge were derived. The Shields' diagram and its curve-fitting formula were used in determining the criterion of particle size for the sediment. By using these formula the designer can determine the sectional configuration of the channel, such as the liquid depth, the normal pitch of the screw-blade arrangement and the bowl diameter.

Prognostics and health management (PHM) is recently converging throughout the industry, one of the trending issue is to detect abnormal conditions at decanter centrifuge during water treatment facilities. Wastewater treatment operation produces corrosive gas which results failures on attached sensors. This scenario causes frequent sensor replacement and requires highly qualified manager's visual inspection while replacing important parts such as bearings and screws. In this paper, we propose anomaly detection by measuring the vibration of the decanter centrifuge based on the video camera images. Measuring the vibration of the screw decanter by applying the optical flow technique, the amount of movement change of the corresponding pixel is measured and fed into the LST M model. As a result, it is possible to detect the normal/warning/dangerous state based on LSTM classification. In the future work, we aim to gather more abnormal data in order to increase the further accuracy so that it can be utilized in the field of industry.

In this paper, based on the concept of solid particles' sediment problem the working formula determining the bowl length of a Decanter-type centrifuge were derived. Assuming that particles are uniformly distributed along the vertical line of the liquid inlet position, it was possible to derive a constant value k used for determining the bowl length. It was shown from the sample calculations that the bowl length should be increased as the particle size to be removed from the liquid is decreased. The length also should be increased for the same particle size as the bowl diameter is decreased. To help the engineers choose a reasonable bowl diameter, the statistical relationship between the bowl diameter and the capacity of the international products is obtained and presented.

In general, the electric motor for driving the centrifuge of Decanter type is selected based on the power(starting power) necessary to start the bowl and the screw shaft. However the operation cost of the machine is dependent on the power needed at a steadily operating condition, including the power against the bearing friction and that for the sludge removal. In this paper, the formulation for the sludge-removal power is presented. Sample calculation for a specific design shows that the sludge-removal power is increased with the friction coefficient. It also reveals that the power is mainly dependent on the length of the screw blade rather than the beach angle. Further it is shown that the power increases in square of the rotational speed of the machine.

The centrifuge system in liquid radwaste system(LRS) is composed of several skids including Decanter and Separator. The decanter separates the sludge over 5mm in size within liquid radwaste by centrifuge force and drops it into 55gallon drum. The separator separates the sludge over $0.1{\mu}m$ in size within the liquid radwaste processed by Decanter by centrifuge force. The process of separating the sludge from the LRS keeps the resin in Ion Exchanger from being damaged and improves the performance of Ion Exchanger, and satisfies the decontamination factor suggested in Uljin 5,6 FSAR to safety discharge into the outer environment.

원심분리기는 밀도가 다른 입자들이 관내에서 고속의 회전에 의해 발생되는 원심력을 받게 되면 원심력에 비례하는 속도로 밀도가 큰 입자는 빠르게 침강하고, 밀도가 작은 입자는 느리게 침강하여 관내에서의 이동거리에 차이가 발생하는 원리를 이용하는 장치이다. 본 연구의 대상이 되는 디캔터형 원심 분리기는 수 처리 공정에서 탈수된 농축 오물을 제거하는 장치로서 사용되는 것으로 슬러지 이송의 향상이 그 핵심 기술이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 이를 향상시키기 위하여 보울 플레이트 레일을 적용한 모델을 제안하였고, 슬러지 이송 효율 향상을 평가하기 위하여 입자 완화 유체동역학 기법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 수행된 해석은 보울 플레이트를 적용하지 않은 모델과 적용한 모델에 대하여 각각 적용하여 그 개선 정도를 정량화 하였다.

In this paper, we derived the formula for estimating the power of the electric motors needed to operate the Decanter-type centrifuge. In the derivation of the formula the sludge-removal torque is to be supplied from the formula derived in the first paper. The intricate nature of the transmission mechanism in the planetary gear trains of the sludge-removal power and torque has been clarified in this second paper. In particular we considered two-motor system, where the main motor drives the machine while the differential-speed control motor plays the role of braking in adjusting the differential speed. Sample calculation for the specific design treated in the first paper showed that the selection criterion for the main motor depends on the lower limit of the differential speed; when the lower limit is set low, it should be selected based on the steadily operating power, while it should be selected based on the starting power when the lower limit is set high. The total power required by both the main motor and the differential-speed control motor increases as the differential speed is decreased. It is suggested that the power loss in the differential-speed control motor could be minimized by attaching an electric generator to it.

A rotordynamic analysis was performed with a decant-type centrifuge, which is a kind of industrial centrifuge. The system is composed of screw rotor, bowl rotor, driving motors, gear box, and support rolling element bearings. These rotors have a rated speed of 4300 rpm, and were modeled utilizing a rotordynamic FE method for analysis, which was verified through 3-D FE analysis. Design goals are to achieve wide separation margins of lateral critical speeds, and favorable unbalance responses of the rotor in the operating range. Then, a complex analysis rotordynamic analysis of the system was carried out to evaluate its forward synchronous critical speeds and mode shapes, whirl natural frequencies, and unbalance responses under various balance grade. As a result of analysis, the rotordynamic analysis performed by separating a screw rotor and bowl rotor may cause an error in predicting critical speed of entire system. Therefore, the rotordynamic analysis of a coupled rotor combining a screw and bowl rotor must be performed in order to more accurately estimate dynamic characteristics of the decanter-type centrifuge as presented in this paper. Also, rolling element bearings with suitable stiffness should be selected to keep enough separation margin. In addition, in establishing balance grade of a screw and bowl rotor, ISO G2.5 balance grade is more recommended than ISO G6.3, in particular balancing correction of a screw rotor based on ISO G2.5 grade is strongly recommended.

태양전지용 웨이퍼 제조공정에 있어 Slurry의 가격 비중은 약 68% 정도로 매우 큰 비중을 차지하고 있기 때문에, 제조비용 절감측면과 Wafering 원가혁신 및 산업폐기물 처리비용 절감효과, 환경오염 방지를 위해 Slurry의 순환 사용은 필수적이다. 기존 Slurry를 재생하는 방식은 물리적인 원심분리(데칸터) 방식을 이용한 방법을 사용하고 있으나 미분(微粉)이 남아 있어 재생품질에 한계가 있고, 대부분 액체, 100% 오일과 분리되지 않은 상태로 재생된다. 이 상태를 건조시키는 경우도 순도가 많이 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 원심분리(데칸터) 방식과 케미컬 방식을 함께 사용하여, 태양전지 Wafering 공정에서 필수적인 Slurry를 재생함에 있어, 원심분리에 의한 재생품질의 한계를 극복할 수 있는 재생기술을 개발하였고, Slurry 재생에 대한 Total Solution을 제공하여 성능을 향상시키고 재생 회수율을 높였다.
