The decanter is very useful to harvest biomass from plant cell cultures in large-scale process. It is very important to obtain high yield and low moisture content in recovered biomass so as to minimize solvent usage in subsequent extraction steps. Effluent clarity was affected largely by flow rate and only slightly by the diameter of the ring dam. Effluent clarity was also affected by the differential speed, although this affect was more dramatic at higher flow rates than at lower flow rates. Moisture content was largely unaffected by flow rate. A decrease in moisture content was evident as differential speed decreased.
