Hello Norm. The centrifuge itself is calibrated for water, so its capacity with oil is a trial and error project. But unless the centrifuge is equipped with a feed pump, one has to go for a pump with adjustable capacity for starters. And be precise when choosing the gravity disc and the seal ring size at the outlet. Everything is working properly when you have sludge and water coming out of one outlet and pure oil from the other outlet. Never use a centrifuge or separator working with a water seal. The water content can be determined with a kit from ExxonMobil, Mobil water test kit. Best regards Jan Warnqvist AGERATEC AB
