Solid control system, also referring as mud system, is used to separate the solids or gas from the drilling mud. There are several centrifugal mud separators such as hydro-cyclone separators (desander and desilter) and decanter centrifuge, and mud gas separator, which separate drilling mud and gas.
Hydrocyclone Separator
Hydrocyclone separator is always referring as desander and desitler, used after shale shaker in the solids control system. Usually the cone diameter is more than 6″is called Desander, and used as the second-control equipment in drilling operation. the cone diameter is less than 6″is called Desilter, and used as the third-control equipment in drilling operation. We commonly used 5 “and 4″ cone to separate solid-phase particle size 15-47μm in the drilling fluid.
Decanter Centrifuge
Decanter centrifuge are used to process unweighted and weighted, water-based and oil-based drilling fluids (muds). Mechanical energy is utilized to increase the gravitational force exerted on solids that are present in the mud system. Continue reading »

Once a client asked a very interesting question. If we add Solids control equipment system ( Shale shaker,mud cleaner & vacuum degaser ) to the centrifugal decanter separator what will be the advantages ,or we can utilize only the decanter?
Briefly answer this question: Drilling mud with drilling cutting is very complicated. So we need a system to deal with different solids.
The equipments before decanter is used to separate the solids bigger than 7μm,maybe you can only use decanter, but I should say it is a precision instrument, and it is tender. A system is needed to keep each equipment work in his own role, and prolong each one’s life.

Drilling mud decanter centrifuge is the fourth stage equipments for a drilling mud system.Drilling mud cleaning first stage uses drilling fluids shale shaker ,then second stage uses desander,third desilter,(now drilling mud cleaner is widely used to replace desander,desilter).
 drilling mud decanter centrifuge
The drilling mud decanter centrifuges can separate fine particles well,for separating 5~7μm particles in drilling mud,usually use medium speed decanter centrifuge,for less then 2μm,usually use high speed decanter centrifuges.
Principle of Operation
Bowl Speed – Depending on the model specification, drilling mud decanter cenrifuges are equipped with either fixed or variable speed arrangement on the main drive enabling the operator to adjust the bowl speed between 1200 and 3850 rpm within a few seconds. This option, combined with variable conveyor speed, gives a unique dimension to the use of decanters for drilling fluids treatment. The optimum speed for solids removal for a specific cut point depends on the composition of the drilling fluid and the nature of the drill cuttings.
Decanter cenrifuge Scrolling Speed
Decanters are equipped with either fixed or variable back drive. The scrolling speed -(relative conveyor speed) can be changed in a matter of seconds by operations of a simple control switch. The optimum scowling speed is selected in each case according to solids load, required separation efficiency and required underflow density.

Feed Rate – In general a single drilling fluid decanter is capable of a process feed rate of up to 200 gpm. The treatment capacity is influenced by mud type and mud rheology. On drilling rigs it is common to utilize a minimum of two decanters installed in tandem for low weight muds and in series on high-density muds where barite recovery is necessary.

GN Solids Control design and manufacture Oilfield Decanter centrifuge with different speed types.
In oilfield drilling mud separation,The larger the centrifugal force, the finer the separated solids, so three types of speed decanter centrifuge can get according to separating factor.
 oilfield decanter centrifuge
a) Low-speed oilfield decanter centrifuge: it is also called “barite recovery” centrifuge. Its separating factor is 500~700. To low-density solids, its separating point is 6~10μm. To high-density solids, its separating point is 4~7μm. This kind of centrifuge can be used for recovering barite.
b) Medium-speed oilfield decanter centrifuge: its separating factor is 800 or so, solids of 5~7μm can be separated, so harmful solids can be separated from the mud, so that gravity and viscosity of the mud can be controlled. Most drill team will choose this kind of centrifuge at present.
c)High-speed oilfield decanter centrifuge: its separating factor is 1200~2100 or so, separating point is 2~5μm, it can remove harmful solids, control mud viscosity, it is usually connected with low speed centrifuge to make up a dual centrifuge system(See figure 3). In the system, low-speed centrifuge is installed at the first grade, barite separated
from it is discharged into mud tank to be recovered, liquid is drained into a surge drum first, and then be sent by a pump to high-speed centrifuge; the solid separated from high-speed centrifuge will be discharged out of the tank and the liquid is back to recirculation system. “Dual centrifuge system” can remove

We manufacture drilling mud management decanter centrifuge including any speed of decanter centrifuge,high speed
 Drilling mud decanter centrifuge
decanter centrifuge,low speed decanter centrifuge.
More over,we can design and manufacture a whole drilling mud management system.With the most suitable decanter centrifuge.
Because there are such a variety of both standard and unique applications, choosing the correct decanter centrifuge is often more of an art than an exact science. Determining the correct machine style and model size requires a thorough understanding of the application and very often sample testing. The more a customer knows about their process and the results desired, the more helpful it is. And when a customer calls or e-mails, we would initially focus on determining the following:
- Description of the liquid phase and the solid phase for the drilling mud management system.
- Total liquid volume of the system and amount of available process time and / or required process flow rate
- Quality of required liquid phase / phases – targeted concentration of impurities
- Amount of solids that need to be removed from the given liquid volume
- Targeted dryness of the solids
- What the customer wants to achieve
Decanter centrifuge in the drilling mud management system are used after the mud Cleaner.As we know the first stage we use shale shaker,and the second,we use mud cleaner.For some drilling mud management system ,we also use vacuum degasser.
From this simple calculation we can often quickly determine which style of liquid / solid separation is most applicable for the application. A further simple lab decanter centrifuge test determines the most appropriate type of decanter centrifuge, whether it fits the customers thinking, and if it is within the expected customer budget.
Supply most effective drilling mud management system decanter Centrifuge from our own China factory.
