Decanter centrifuge is the 4th solids control equipment in whole drilling mud system. It is used to process drilling mud discharged from desilter cones or mud cleaner.

Separation point of decanter centrifuge is as fine as 2~7 microns. According to different rotation speed, there are high-speed and middle-speed centrifuges. It really plays an important role in lower mud density and bentonite recovery.

How To Choose a Decanter Centrifuge

  • Mudflow: The flow rate is related to bowl size and rotation speed.
  • Industry: Use it in oil drilling, water drilling or HDD?
  • Depth: Drilling depth is another issue considered during selection. Usually, depth over 3500m, the high-speed one should be utilized.
  • Drilling fluid property: Viscosity, mud base, and so on. Kindly confirm the applicability from mud engineer or centrifuge supplier.
  • Function to achieve: Separation, or recycle?
