Application of Decanter Centrifuge for drilling

GN Decanter Centrifuge are specifically built for oilfield drilling applications, both onshore and offshore drilling rig need the decanter centrifuge.  Adjustable operating parameters enable the Decanters to be employed for a wide range of solids control purposes in drilling fluid systems including.  Barite recovery from the active mud system or from surplus mud in storage.  Separation of drilled solids from unweighted muds.

Decanting Centrifuge is A machine for the continuous sedimentation of suspended solids from a liquid by the action of centrifugal force in an elongated rotating bowl.
Continuous unloading of solids from the bowl is made possible by a conveyor which rotates in the same direction as the bowl but at a slightly different speed.
