The centrifuge has truncated-cone-like separating screen arranged in support basket and held in the bottom thereof by lower flange. Lower flange has notched surface which penetrates into screen. The screen and the basket both have an annular upper edge and an upper flange which is attached to the upper edge of the basket and covers the upper edge of the screen. Finally, the screen is formed by a number of segments attached in pairs by a joint with a T-shaped section.

Centrifugal screen

The drain element for collecting hydrocarbons comprises a screen (TM) surrounding a suction cylinder (CA) extending in a longitudinal direction (AL). The screen is made up of rods (TT, TC) which extend along said longitudinal direction (AL) and which are regularly spaced apart around the suction cylinder. At least one of said rods is hollow in order to form a collector rod (TC), said collector rod (TC) having a lateral orifice and communicating with the inside of the suction cylinder via one of its ends.
