KOSUN decanter centrifuge for liquid/solid separation

Decanter centrifuge is a device for continuously separating particulate solids from a suspending liquid by sedimentation and decanting.
The decanter centrifuge embodies a simple principle, that of screw conveyor. In basic terms, the decanter centrifuge comprises a solids cylindrical bowl rotating at high speed. Inside the bowl is a scroll(screw conveyor) rotating at a slightly different speed. The differential speed between bowl and scroll provides the conveying motion to collect and remove the solids which accumulate at the bowl wall.
The drilling centrifuge can be used for most types of liquid/solid separation and its ability to handle a wide range of feed slurry concentrations adds to its general versatility.
Nowadays, the decanter centrifuge has become a major processing tool in a wide ranges of liquid and solid separation applications. Mostly, the decanter centrifuge is used as a solids control equipment in oilfield drilling project recovey, in which the decanter centrifuge served as 4th solid control equipment to remove the undesirable solids with diameter above 2 μm mixed in drilling fluids.
Decanter centrifuge is the fourth phase solids control equipments. It is set behind the mud cleaner and mud desilter cleaner, using the principle of centrifugal action to separate the solid particles of 2-7μm from the drilling fluids. According to different speed we have middle speed decanting centrifuge, high speed decanting centrifuge and high speed variable frequency decanting centrifuge.

KOSUN drilling fluids desander’s daily maintenance

The mud desander is the two-level solids control equipment used for drilling fluid treatment. The desander and desilter is mainly used for separating those solid particles with the granularity of 47 to 76 microns in the drilling fluid. Structure of desander
Here are several unmissed points on desander’s daily maintenance:
1. No butter should be applied insider its hydrocyclones and seal groove cavity on the top since they are sealed by metal which will be damaged by the potential particle content or fixture from butter.
2. Spare filter element and adequate O-shape sealing ring should be fully prepared.
3. Visual inspection should be conducted into its hydrocyclones.
4. Indicated value displayed on pressure differential gauge should not surpass 3MPa when it is working.
5. Only one hydrocyclone is rolling while the other one is saved for later use.
6. Six-hourly examination of wall thickness should be carried out on key parts of desander.
7. A sudden fall of pressure differential indicates damaged filter element. In this case, one hydrocyclone should be shut and another one started.
8. Filter element should be taken out and examined after one day finishes.
9. The butter from screw thread should be prevented from blocking desander filter element. If blocked, it should be moved from machine and cleaned by high-pressure steam.
10. The moment the filter element is moved from machine, it should be cleaned by water at once to avoid precipitation of sand or support agent at essential points.
The desander features:
a. Adjustable swirler underflow The swirler underflow can be adjusted by changing the swirler nozzle.
b. Long service life The material of the swirler is polyurethane,so the swirler is wear resistant,light weight,corrosion resistant,and not easily aged.
c. Easy to use The mud cleaner can use be used desander unit and shale shaker combination,or desilter unit and shale shaler combination,or desander unit,desilter unit and drilling shale shaker combination,or just the shale shaker only.
d. Compact structure

Working principle of vertical centrifuge

Vertical Centrifuge is also called Vertical Cutting Dryer,it is a innovative design which fit for Oil based drilling waste management.Drilling cuttings from the primary solids control equipments like shale shakers,mud cleaners which is picked up by Auger(Screw) conveyor and transfer to feeder of the vertical cutting dryer.
Working principle
Vertical dryer is the ideal product for oil based drilling waste management. A stainless steel screen bowl traps "wet" solids and accelerates them up to 820RPM with G force up to 360. Liquid is forced through the screen bowl openings, while "dry" solids are extracted by the angled flights attached to the cone, which rotates slightly less slowly than the bowl.
An effective equipment for drilling cuttings disposal is Vertical Cutting Dryer which can reduce the amount of OBM or SBM on cuttings discharge to reduce waste volume .Vertical Cutting Dryer uses centrifugal force to dry drilled cuttings that from shale shaker or mud cleaners. the cuttings are conveyed to the dryer through vacuum transfer or screw coneyer. Once cuttings are introduced into the dryer's charge hopper. The widely spaced, adjustable flights continuously direct cuttings to the screen surface. Flights within the cutting dryer create a rolling action that promote further separation and prevents screen plugging. Under high G-force created by the large cone diameter,Liquid and solids separation occurs instantly as cuttings make contact with the finer-mesh centrifuge screen while producing cleaner return fluid and drier solids discharge.The solids discharged from cutting dryer can also be collected for further disposal. such as thermal treatment. useful fluids reclaimed by cutting dryer is collected and pumped to decanter centrifuge for final processing and reuses in the active mud system.
As a professional manufacturer on solids control system, KOSUN specialize in designing & manufacturing drilling shale shaker, mud agitator, mud gun, desander, desilter, mud cleaner,drilling centrifuge, mud mixer, centrifugal pump, shearing pump, vertical slurry pump, mud tank, vacuum degasser, ignition device, etc. and have been exporting to Russia, Kazakhstan, Egypt, Indonesia, Mexico, Australia, etc. with qualified products & superior service.

OSUN drilling mud decanter centrifuge for Algeria

Like hydrocyclones, decanter centrifuges are designed to speed up the settling process. The rotating speed is transformed into centrifugal force inside the rotating assembly to accelerate particle settling in accordance with Stoke’s Law. In essence, a centrifuge is a miniature settling pit that alloys very rapid settling of solids under controlled conditions. Though much more complicated than a hydrocyclone, centrifuges have the advantage of achieving extremely fine cut points.
Centrifuges can improve the cut point by a factor of 6X when compared to a prototypical shale shaker/hydrocyclone system and can dramatically increase the drilling fluid life. KOSUN has experienced applications in which drilling fluid life was increased by a factor of 10 when utilizing centrifuges in cooperation with the standard solids control equipment (Total improvement in drilling fluid life is dependent on the particle size distribution of the solids generated and the degradation life cycle of the solids within the drilling fluid).
In order to meet the requirements of the development of modern drilling engineering, KOSUN has invested the amount of money in developing decanter centrifuge and applied professional experts and workmen to equip with the explosion-proof variable frequency solids control system, which could adjust separation factor and drum rotational speed.
