Drilling fluids decanter centrifuge how it works

There are several types of decanter centrifuges currently utilized in the industry, the most common of which are vertical, horizontal and conveyor centrifuges. The principle behind a decanter centrifuge is based on the theory of gravitational separation. For example, if you fill a glass with a mixture of mud and water, over time the weight of the mud will cause it to settle down at the base of the glass.

Decanter centrifuges deliver high recovery rates and efficient solids separation to significantly reduce disposal costs or reclaim valuable material from process streams. The centrifuges are precision-balanced for smooth operation over long periods at high RPM speeds, generating extremely high G-forces.

And as the drilling centrifuge centrifuge how it works ?

Step 1: The slurry is inserted into the centrifuge through a connecting pipe and onto a conveyor.

Step 2: Utilizing an internal feed compartment, the conveyor ushers the slurry through a nozzle into the bowl area.

Step 3: The bowl rotates at high speeds to induce gravitational forces.

Step 4: High speed rotation separates the solid material from the liquid in a matter of seconds.

Step 5: The conveyor delivers the solid material upwards where it is discharged through a nozzle.

Step 6: The solid material removed, the purified liquid is released from a separate output.
