An Alfa Laval decanter centrifuge used in olive oil production in Greece Old ALFA-LAVAL logo to be put on farms where their equipment was used. Alfa Laval AB is a Swedish company, founded in 1883 by Gustaf de Laval and Oscar Lamm. The company started by providing centrifuges to dairies to be used to separate cream from milk.
In 1991 Alfa-Laval was bought by Tetra Pak. In 1993 the division which produced dairy and farming machinery was split from Alfa Laval and named Alfa Laval Agri. Both companies became part of the Tetra Laval Group. In 2000 the Tetra Laval Group sold Alfa Laval, while Alfa Laval Agri was kept and renamed DeLaval after the company's founder.
The centrifugal separator was first manufactured by Gustaf de Laval, making it possible to separate cream from milk faster and more easily, without having to let the milk sit for a time, and risk it turning sour. Possibly because Gustaf de Laval manufactured the first cream separators, [3] [4] many people credit the invention to de Laval ...

Oil water separators can be designed to treat a variety of contaminants in water including free floating oil, emulsified oil, dissolved oil and suspended solids. Not all oil separator types are capable of separating all contaminants. The most common performance parameters considered are: Oil droplet size (in the feed to the separator) Oil density
