APGLW Series Decanter Solids Control Centrifuge For Drilling Mud

APGLW Series Decanter Centrifuge For Drilling Mud To Solids Control

Brief introducrion of mud decanter centrifuge

The drilling fluid centrifuge is an important solids control equipment in the drilling platform. It separates the solid phase larger than 2μm and effectively solves the problem that the cyclone device cannot separate the ultrafine and harmful solid phase. The centrifuge can quickly restore the specific gravity of the drilling fluid and other properties, providing a reliable guarantee for efficient and scientific drilling.

Decanter centrifuges also referred to decanting centrifuge or centrifuge decanter. In drilling mud process for oil & gas drilling there are middle speed centrifuge and high speed centrifuge. They can be designed as fixed frequency and variable frequency centrifuge.

Aipu have focus on solids control over 20 years. we have a professional techinical team. And the products we provise have been well appraised by our customers.

Decanter centrifuge Processes

Decanting bowl centrifuges are still needed to recover drilling fluid weight material in some situations. In many circumstances a barite recovery decanter centrifuge will return the barite to the active system while the high speed centrifuge will discard the fine solids from the liquid out of the barite recover centrifuge. Decanter centrifuges often operate in parallel, to discard drill solids when one or both had been used earlier in the well as barite recovery machines, Sometimes this is in conjunction with the rest of the rigs solids control equipment, Decanter centrifuge are often used on oil mud systems to process the total circulation rate in combination with fine screen shakers. In many cases oil mud systems are used over and over or even rented to the operator, At the end of some oil mud jobs the decanter centrifuges are used to strip as much of the solids as possible from the mud system so that the next job with the same mud system will not require massive dilution. Many times a very dry discard is necessary for oil mud processes due to the disposal requirements of the sludge for environmental considerations. Dewatering has become more and more popular where a decanter centrifuge will discard all solids by using a polymer injection system to flocculate the solids to the extent that all solids will be discarded and clear water will be recovered for drilling. In general the most common case would be for fine drilled solids extraction to control plastic viscosity, reduce gels, and create a better filter cake on the well bore.

Characteristics of drilling fluid centrifuge 

The straight section and the cone section of the drum are made of 2205 bidirectional stainless steel and are made by centrifugal casting.
The rest of the drum assembly is made of SS316L stainless steel.
The screw pusher is protected by a wear-resistant alloy sheet, which has a long service life and is easy to maintain and replace.
The shunting port of the screw pusher and the slag discharge port of the rotating drum are protected by an easy-to-replace wear-resistant alloy sleeve, which delays the service life and maintenance cycle.
The convenient and adjustable height of the cofferdam can meet the discharge requirements of different working conditions. Original imported SKF bearings can improve equipment stability and bearing service life.

Advantage of Aipu drilling mud decanter centrifuge

All raw materials are high quality. Such as the screw conveyor, bowl, the support frame, the surface paint, the motor, the control panel, etc. 

Usually, finish one set centrifuge may take 30 days. But now, only in 1 week we’ll get all things cleared and make it arrive at port. For other requirements or options we’ll give you optimal solution soonest.

Finally, our aftermarket will definitely satisfy you on soon response as 7×24 technique support. The centrifuge is rather mature to save more cost on wearing parts as well as maintenance

Professional of Aipu solids control

As a professional manufacturer of oilfield solids control equipment, AIPU products are appreciated by clients because of high quality at reasonable cost.Trust AIPU solids control will be your strong assistance. Our solutions for you and clients will be the optimal one and lead more reasonable profits. AIPU products have served KDC, Burgan, SINOPEC, CNPC, Honghua, Petronas, Pertamina, and so on drilling company and rig manufacturers.

Other application of Aipu decanter centrifuge

As we introduced before, the centriuges can be used not only in drilling fluids process. They can be used in many industry. Related to oil and gas industry or the drilling industry, they can be used in slurry separation, the sludge treatment, the waste management, and so on.

And in drilling fluids system, they are used to recycle or relcaim the barite, too. When we use both middle speed centrifuge and high speed centrifuge, the high speed one will be set behind the middle speed one.
