Decanter centrifuge is the fourth class solids control in drilling mud separation system. Decanter centrifuges used to separate more fine particles from drilling cuttings.

GN drilling mud processing system is a complete “closed-loop” re-circulating liquid filtration / fluid clarification system typically applied to glass, ceramic, and metal grinding coolants as well as other industrial fluids.

The main structure and simple principle of GN Decanter centrifuge

The solid wall bowl has a cylindrical section for good separation and clarification of the liquid and a conical section for dewatering the solids. The product enters the decanter through the feed and is led into the separation chamber via the distributor. Under the action of centrifugal force, the solid particles sediment on the bowl wall and are conveyed to the solids discharge by the scroll. On decanter the clarified liquid flows off under gravity whereas on decanter type the liquid is discharged under pressure by means of centripetal pump.

Centrifuges can be customized

Centrifugal filtration equipment By matching the appropriate tank size and capacity requirement, decanter centrifuges are designed and configured to suit each customer’s individual application. GN will size, design, and configure a decanter centrifuge that suits your facility and specific application requirements.

LWF Decanter centrifuges are designed to provide a continuous and consistently low minimum level of suspending solids and extend the life of the working liquid / fluid while providing a low maintenance and environmentally effective method of separating and handling the separated solids / sludge.

GN produce qualified decanter centrifuges, high performance and efficient on drilling mud solids control. Separating suspended fine cuttings out from drilling fluids. To make well drilling more cost-effective, and economical cost. Knowing more info on LWF Decanter centrifuges, please contact GN Solids Control freely.

high speed decanter centrifuge

1．General information Variable high speed decanter centrifuge
With the improvement of petroleum drilling technology and environmental protection awareness, higher requirements are put forward to the petroleum drilling solid-control system, mainly embodies in the following three aspects:
a)    Oil gas exploration developer wish to use more clean mud drilling to protect the oil gas layer so as to achieve higher oil gas production.
b)    The using of turbo screw drilling technology put forward higher requirements on the mud cleanness.
c)     More attention will be paid to the disused mud treatment, while treat the disused mud is mainly to separate solid phase from liquid phase as much as possible.
Medium speed centrifuge can separate solid phase granule with the diameter of 5~7μm in low-viscosity mud, as to the thinner granule and high-viscosity drilling mud or the granule in oil based mud, it can not separate them well. So, medium speed centrifuge can hardly meet the new requirements of solid-control system, deploying high speed centrifuge is the development trend in future.

GN Variable high speed decanter centrifuge  produced by our company can better meet the above requirements.
