Decanter with stopper. A decanter is a vessel that is used to hold the decantation of a liquid (such as wine) which may contain sediment. Decanters, [1] which have a varied shape and design, have been traditionally made from glass or crystal. Their volume is usually equivalent to one standard bottle of wine (0.75 litre). [2]

Decanting a liquid from a solid. Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension. [1] The layer closer to the top of the container—the less dense of the two liquids, or the liquid from which the precipitate or sediment has settled out—is poured off, leaving denser liquid or the solid behind.

Decanter centrifuges with the same diameter but the longer length would have a higher capacity for conveying solids and attain a larger suspension volume, which would enhance the settling out of fine solids. [10] The beach angle at the conical section of a decanter centrifuge is a design heuristic, which must also be taken into consideration.
