Impacts of G-force on dewatering centrifuge capacity and performance. An explanation of the G – Volume
scaling methodology.

Hypothesis 1

• Comparing geometrically similar decanter centrifuges, with an equivalent volume, where one
  has a higher g-force, would result in either a higher cake dryness, or a greater capacity.

Hypothesis 2

• Comparing decanter centrifuges with a different bowl diameter but with the same G x
  Volume, the performance and capacity would be the same.
