A crude oil centrifuge is a piece of equipment used in the oil industry to separate various components of crude oil based on their densities. It utilizes centrifugal force to achieve this separation.The process involves spinning the crude oil at high speeds within a cylindrical container. Due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation, the heavier components of the crude oil, such as water, sediment, and particulate matter, are forced towards the outer walls of the container. Meanwhile, the lighter components, such as oil and gas, remain closer to the center.
