I will be adding a second centrifuge to our process. This second unit will give a greater capacity to clean your oil. I have been thinking about how to put this in the system and I think the best solution is just to slightly increase the flow rate.

This should provide three benefits. The first and most obvious is a quicker cleaning process. The second is a polishing process and the third is since the feeder valve will be opened more to provide a higher flow rate there should be less chance of the valve clogging.

As far as the "polishing" is concerned, I'm not sure what it will accomplish. But given that I will be allowing a higher flow rate the oil will spend less time in the first bowl so it just might prove out.
