An oil separator that separates mist oil from processing-target gas containing mist liquid includes a plurality of separation disks. The plurality of separation disks rotate around an axis, and are stacked and spaced in an axial direction. The separation disk includes an inner peripheral part and an outer peripheral part. The inner peripheral part forms a surface of a frustum of a hypothetical cone or pyramid coaxial with the separation disk, and is inclined with respect to a radial direction toward one side in an axial direction. The outer peripheral part forms a surface of a frustum of a hypothetical cone or pyramid coaxial with the separation disk, and continuously extends outward from an outer peripheral edge of the inner peripheral part. The outer peripheral part is inclined with respect to the radial direction toward another side in the axial direction.

The present invention is a segmented bowl for a batch centrifugal concentrator constructed from a plurality of segments that are each placed adjacently to one another, so that each segment is in intimate contact with its neighbouring segments, so that when a sufficient number of segments are put into place, they form the bowl of the batch centrifugal concentrator.

A method and system for separating a suspension into solid and fluid components. The suspension is centrifuged about a substantially vertical axis of rotation to concentrate solid components in a first lower flow stream and fluid components in a first upper flow stream. The first upper flow stream may be centrifuged about a substantially vertical axis of rotation to concentrate solid components in a second lower flow stream and fluid components in a second upper flow stream. The first lower flow stream, the second lower flow stream, or both, may be centrifuged about a substantially horizontal axis of rotation to separate water from stackable dry tailings. The method and system may be applied to separation of tailings or other suspensions.

There is provided a filter sub-assembly that comprises a rotary vessel having a rotor body and a closure member to close an opening of the rotor body. The sub-assembly further comprises a liner that is receivable within the rotor body to line an inner surface thereof. The liner is also fluidly sealable to the closure member by a centrifugal force directed radially outwardly from an axis of rotation, about which the rotary vessel is rotatable. The sub-assembly has particular application in a centrifugal filter of a motor vehicle, for example for cleaning engine oil in an engine lubrication system.

A centrifuge device is provided for the sizing and separation of constituents of a biologic mixture, e.g., adipose tissue. The device provides for the mechanical breaking down of the fibrous structure in the tissue by centrifugation causing the tissue to pass through a mesh element, or a sizing helix, or an extrusion element, whereupon the material is reduced to a slurry. This processed material may then be separated by centrifugation into its constituents, in order to harvest the fraction containing the multipotent cells. These multipotent cells may be utilized for various medical procedures to stimulate healing and tissue regeneration.
