Abstract:
1. A system for removing substances from a process fluid, the system comprising: a centrifuge body rotatable around a longitudinal axis, the centrifuge body having a first end and a second end; the first end configured for receiving the process fluid as the process fluid passes through the first end into the centrifuge body; the second end configured for dispensing a clarified fluid; a first internal working space inside the centrifuge body having a first working diameter; a second internal working space inside the centrifuge body having a second working diameter, the second internal working space located between the first working space and the second end; wherein the second working diameter is greater than the first working diameter; a first outlet associated with the first internal working space; a second outlet associated with the second internal working space; an incinerator coupled with the first and second outlets to receive substances removed from the process fluid by the centrifuge body. a first valve associated with the first outlet; a second valve associated with the second outlet; the first valve and the second valve independently operable to control flow from the respective first working space and the respective second working space; a pair of lips configured to mate in a closed position blocking flow through the first outlet; a set of two bladders configured to force the pair of lips into the closed position; and a conduit configured to allow a fluid to inflate the two bladders.
