DECANTER CENTRIFUGE FOR DRILLING MUD SOLIDS
This American company has developed with Baioni an effective range of patented products and sludge systems that contain new components designed to promote drilling in wells under difficult conditions. Three decanters have been designed to treat oil and gas drilling slurry and have been delivered on skid, providing to customer an easy turn-key solution. Baioni mobile dehydration station can be easily positioned on site or in remote areas and it represents the last stage equipment in drilling mud system for solids control and mud cleaning.
Baioni supplied the third horizontal spiral type Decanter Centrifuge for the separation of drilling emulsions. It could be used to process unweighted and weighted, water-based and oil-based drilling fluids (muds). A long collaboration between Baioni and the Client for the design and construction of a Decanting Centrifuge which needed to be the last stage equipment in drilling mud system for solids control and mud cleaning. The superiority of Baioni Centrifuge is embodied in the solids processing size. Decanter Centrifuge could remove the solid particles with size 2-7 microns using the principle of centrifugal action, it is an ideal choice for separating particles in drilling mud. Always there is a screw pump or submersible pump to feed the mud to Decanter Centrifuge. After the drilling fluids being fed into the centrifuge drum, under the function of centrifugal force, solid phase particles are pushed to the internal wall of the drum, then to the solid discharge export of the small end of the drum and excreted. While the fluids is excreted from the overflow hole of the large end. Such cycle is to achieve the purpose of continuous separation. High speed decanting centrifuge are more effective for separation of fine solids. For this project, Baioni had always supplied personal support, on-site service and project planning individually tailored.
