The conventional solid bowl centrifuge... consists of an outer bullet-shaped bowl that rotates at high speed. The sludge is pumped through a central pipe into this rotating bowl and because of centrifugal force, this sludge hugs the inside walls of the bowl. The heavier solids will sink to the bottom... It is necessary to remove the sludge to make the operation successful and... this process is accomplished by the... screw conveyor, that is placed inside the machine and rotates only slightly slower than the bowl. 1, record 1, English, - screw%20conveyor

L'écume est [...] acheminée à des cellules de flottation dans lesquelles le bitume est entraîné à la surface par des bulles d'air. Cette écume doit subir un dernier traitement destiné à réduire sa teneur en eau et en particules solides avant d'être acheminée à l'installation de valorisation. Elle est à cette fin diluée avec du naphta et soumise à l'action d'un centrifugeur haute vitesse. 1, record 2, French, - centrifugeur%20%C3%A0%20haute%20vitesse
