A system for liquid component fractionation includes a first container, a second container, a tunnel connecting member and a stopcock valve. The stopcock valve is a three-way valve disposed at the tunnel connecting member and is rotatable to align one of three ports of the stopcock valve to a collection outlet member of the tunnel connecting member, so as to facilitate collection of a fractionated layer from a liquid after the system is centrifuged.

A closed loop extraction system for extracting desired components from raw plant matter and method of use is disclosed. The closed loop extraction system features a solvent source, a chill tank, a wash tank, a rinse tank, a centrifuge, and a feed tank all in fluid communication via a series of interconnected pump systems. The method of extracting the desired products from raw plant matter uses this system to perform the extraction with a reduced amount of solvent in an energy-efficient manner.

A system for processing solid and liquid waste includes a first shale shaker, a second shale shaker, a submersible pump, a centrifugal pump, a first collection tank, a second collection tank, a mud cleaner assembly, a variable frequency drive (VFD) centrifugal solid-liquid separator, and a water clarifying assembly. The first shale shaker is in fluid communication with the second shale shaker through the submersible pump. The second shale shaker is in fluid communication with the centrifugal pump through the first collection tank. The centrifugal pump is in fluid communication with the mud cleaner assembly. The mud cleaner assembly is in fluid communication with the VFD centrifugal solid-liquid separator through the water clarifying assembly. Resultantly, the system discharges a flow of usable water through the VFD centrifugal solid-liquid separator as an initial load of solid and liquid waste is inputted into the first shale shaker.

A method for clarifying a flowable starting product of solids using a self-emptying centrifuge in continuous operation in a centrifugal field in the rotating drum. A continuous draining of at least one clarified liquid phase occurs and solids emptying occurs repeatedly via outlet openings that are intermittently opened and closed. The emptying of solids from the drum of the centrifuge is initiated, the speed of the drum of the centrifuge is reduced, the solids are emptied from the solids collection chamber of the drum after lowering the speed of the drum, and the emptying of the solids from the drum is ended.

A method of calibrating a centrifugal separator includes retrieving stored data representing a first correlation between different amounts of sediment discharges and rotational speed reductions of the rotatable bowl, generating trigger signals to discharge different amounts of sediment, measuring rotational speed reductions of the rotatable bowl that correspond to the discharges, obtaining values corresponding to the sediment discharges based on the rotational speed reductions and the first correlation, determining data representing a second correlation between the different sediment discharges and trigger signals based on the trigger signals and the values corresponding to the sediment discharges, and obtaining a trigger signal corresponding to a desired discharge amount based on the second correlation.
