Decanter centrifuges are Specially Designed for the Drilling Mud Solids Control

Decanter centrifuge is the last stage equipment in drilling mud system for solids control and mud cleaning. The superiority of decanting centrifuge is embodied in the solids processing size. Decanter centrifuge could remove the solid particles with size 2-7 microns using the principle of centrifugal action, it is an ideal choice for separating particles in drilling mud.
 

The decanter centrifuge separates solid materials from liquids in slurry and therefore plays an important role in wastewater treatment, chemical, oil and food processing industries. There are several factors that affect the performance of a decanter centrifuge and some design heuristics to be followed which are dependent upon given applications.

Decanter centrifuges are specially designed for the drilling mud solids control. The effective centrifuging and fine drilled solids separation can remove significant quantities of inseparable solids. This significantly reduces the tranditional dilution requirements and drilling waste management volume.For drilling fulids processing there are two uses of decanter centrifuge. One is to remove solids from the mud while returning the liquid phase to the active system, such as when used with an unweighted drilling fluid. The other is when solids are returned to the active system and the liquid phase is discarded.
