[en] Continuous settlers are used in many bio-based processes for separating liquid-liquid dispersion. In an efficient process, this downstream operation must be sufficiently well designed. Since coalescence depends strongly on trace components, the dispersion needs to be characterized experimentally for each material system of interest, e.g. with respect to settling time. This can be realized in a standardized settling cells at lab scale. Different standardized settling cells have been developed which lead to different characterization procedures and results. It would be desirable to find an optimal standardized settling cell.
