Decanting a liquid from a solid. Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension. [1] The layer closer to the top of the container—the less dense of the two liquids, or the liquid from which the precipitate or sediment has settled out—is poured off ...
Decanter with stopper. A decanter is a vessel that is used to hold the decantation of a liquid (such as wine) which may contain sediment.

It is named after inventor James Dewar, who developed it for his own work.
Decanter centrifuge. A centrifuge is a device that employs a high rotational speed to separate components of different densities. This becomes relevant in the majority of industrial jobs where solids, liquids and gases are merged into a single mixture and the separation of these different phases is necessary.
