The Computer Controlled Disc Centrifuge, "QCDIC", designed by EDIBON, allows a complete study of the emulsion separation process by centrifugation, accurately reproducing the operating principles of industrial centrifuges. Its configuration integrates all the necessary elements to generate, feed, and separate a biphasic mixture. In this way, the unit enables practical analysis of accelerated sedimentation phenomena, the influence of angular velocity and feed flow rate, as well as the behavior of emulsions under a centrifugal field. The process begins in the agitation tank, where two immiscible liquids, such as water and oil, are poured. A motor-driven agitator, controlled from the software, mixes the two phases uniformly and reproducibly. This actuator makes it possible to study how the agitation intensity affects emulsion stability, reducing the average droplet size and prolonging its homogeneity before the separation process. Next, the emulsion is pumped by a computer-controlled pump to the disc centrifuge. This second actuator regulates the feed flow, allowing the analysis of the influence of flow rate and residence time on the separation efficiency. The emulsion enters the c
