The Drilling Fluid Decanter Centrifuge Functions

Decanter centrifuge is the important phase cleaning equipment in a complete solids control system to separate fine solids. It is the most high technology products among all solids control equipments.

A decanter centrifuge consists of a conical, horizontal steel bowl that rotates at high speed using a double screw type conveyor. The conveyor rotates in the same direction as the outer bowl but at a slightly slower speed.

Functions of Decanter Centrifuge Including:

1) De-water hydrocyclone underflow;

2) Remove drilled solids from the active mud system

3) Control rheological properties by removing colloidal particles in weighted drilling fluids. KOSUN LW series decanter centrifuge is used in separating suspension of solid phase with particle diameter d≥2μm for drilling mud and fluids handling. Ruggedly built for oilfield and industrial services, it is especially effective in environmentally sensitive areas. It delivers high fluid-recovery rates and efficient solids control to significantly reduce the costs of makeup fluids and disposal. The centrifuge is precision –balanced for smooth operation over long periods at speeds of 0 to 3900 RPM, generating centrifugal forces up to 3000G’s.

KOSUN is a leader in China’s solids control industry and expert in drilling waste management. KOSUN is capable of providing customers with such four series as oil & gas drilling solids control equipment, centrifuges, drilling waste treatment equipment and drilling security equipment, including 25 categories of products, and can also customize packaged design and matching products of oil & gas drilling rigs for drilling contractors.
