Mud and solids control
Decanter Centrifuges
High-speed separation of fine solids and barite recovery.
Overview
Decanter centrifuges are the last stage of solids control, removing particles too fine for shakers and hydrocyclones. Left in the mud, these fines raise viscosity and density and slow the bit.
Run at lower speed, a centrifuge recovers barite from weighted mud for reuse; at higher speed it strips out low-gravity solids. Bowl speed and feed rate are set to the job.
Key Features
- Variable bowl speed for barite recovery or fines removal
- Wear-resistant scroll and bowl linings
- Variable frequency drive options
- Skid-mounted with feed pump
Applications
- Weighted water-based and oil-based mud systems
- Barite recovery
- Dewatering and waste volume reduction
