Analysis about Oilfield Drilling Decanter Centrifuges' Performance

Feb 18, 2014

Decanter centrifuge is really one of the most useful machines, because it has found wide application in many industries. The commonnest industries include oil well drilling, biological wastewater treatment, food processing, chemical slurry, etc. It is used to extract particles from liquids.

Now, let’s have a look at the functions of oilfield decanter centrifuge. In oil & gas industry, decanting centrifuge is the core part separating the cuttings from drilling fluids. It is vital to the process of drilling projects. So, in order to improve the project efficiency, the companies should adopt excellent drilling decanter centrifuge.

A good quality decanter centrifuge should meet several features, such as anti-corrosive and anti-explosion. Actually, as the name implies, decanting centrifuge is used for separating something in drilling fluids, therefore, it should have excellent separation performance.

The separation performance is one of the most basic functions, including the effect of separation, washing effect, processing capacity, the degree of automation and so forth.

At the beginning of order, because of differences in material properties, including viscosity, density, particle size, slurry solid-liquid ratio and so on, it is difficult to accurately determine the final separation effect, and generally measure the separation effects of vacuum degasser from the separation factor. Separation factor is related to the speed and diameter of drum. It has square relationship with angular speed of drum.

The washing here refers to the washing of filter cakes, for some materials, the cake has to be washed with washing liquid, even after several times of washing can it meet the requirements, and then need to configure the washing tube. Effect of washing, washing time and washing pipe has a great influence, layout, structure of aperture.

The separation precessing capacity of solids control system is relevant with physicochemical properties and requirements of separation, which is generally estimated to number of cycles for one hour and a single run of the filter cake weight. Decanting centrifuge is also known as oilfield decanter centrifuge. These solids control equipment may be named differently, but they are the same thing.

KOSUN is a professional solids control equipment manufacturer, producing highly efficient drilling mud shale shaker, drilling fluids mud cleaner and drilling decanter centrifuge as well as necessary components of oilfield solids control equipment. KOSUN DC Series Decanting Centrifuge is excellent in making a separate suspended cuttings above 2μm in diameter. Besides, the decanting centrifuge is able to operate stably with the whirling speed ranging from 0 to 3900 and generate centrifugal force of 3000G.

The products KOSUN can provide for oilfield and drilling fluids processing system including drilling mud shale shaker, drilling fluids mud cleaner, desander, desilter, drilling fluids decanter centrifuge, vacuum degasser, mud tanks, mud gun, mud agitator, drilling mud centrifugal pumps and all the other solids control equipment, complete drilling solids control system, etc.
