Décantation centrifuge. Les appareils de décantation centrifuge comportent tous un bol (rotor à parois pleines) qui permet de séparer un solide en suspension dans un liquide, il est dit alors clarificateur, ou deux phases liquides, il est dit alors séparateur. Les appareils centrifuges à bol clarificateur permettent de clarifier des suspensions de concentration très variable (de quelques particules pour mille à 50 % en volume) mais comportant toujours une phase solide plus dense que la phase liquide. 2, record 2, French, - clarificateur
