2 sets 14 inch high quality decanter centrifuge was dispatch to the sea port from GN Solids Control Beijing factory this week. After 1 month sailing on the ocean, they will arrive South America to client's jobsite. The client will use it in his mud solids control system.
It is a 14 inch popular size 2-phase decanter centrifuge. The centrifuge is widely used for mud solids control and drilling waste management. It is also a very good choice for oily sludge processing projects.
Firstly, 14 inch centrifuge can be used in drilling fluids mud recycling system, to recovery the barite for reuse. In the case of the mud is weighted and it is not suitable for drilling activities, the 14 inch decanter centrifuge can be used to remove the fine solids, and enable the drilling fluids qualified for the mud system.
Secondly, the decanter centrifuge can be used after high G drying shaker and vertical cuttings dryer to treat the drilling cuttings from solids control system.
The cuttings from solids control system, especially from shale shaker, desander, desilter, mud cleaner, contains high quality usable drilling fluids. From one side, the usable drilling fluids are valuable. It is better to recovery as more as possible to save cost. From another side, the high percentage drilling fluids makes the liquid percentage is too much high, it is not convenient for movement, and also the oil content is too much higher, it is hazardous to the environment. It cannot be discharged. Decanter centrifuge is one of the essential equipment used to retreat the drilling cuttings.
Another popular application of decanter centrifuge is for oily sludge separation. There is a variable source of oily sludge: from refinery, from drilling, from tank cleaning, etc…The oily sludge with various percentage of solids and water. Decanter centrifuge will be used together with chemical dosing system to process the fine soil in the oily sludge.

Decanter centrifuge is a very normal machine for drilling mud treatment and for different type of waste management, like waste oil treatment, waste water treatment, and sand purification.
For different materials and different treating purpose, operator should choose the most suitable separation speed and G force in order to get the best performance and separation result. In this case, the variable frequency control of a decanter centrifuge is necessary.
GN Solids Control is a worldwide famous brand for drilling mud treatment and variable type waste management application. GN company offer different solutions to get the variable speed control of a centrifuge. Below is a general idea of the most normal 3 designs. Operator can compare and choose the most suitable design per his demands and the job site condition.

1) The most simply type variable speed control is Mechanical gearbox drive decanter centrifuge. For this kind of centrifuge, operator can get another fixed speed by using a different size of pulley. It is simply for operation and maintenance, and cost effective. And the mechanical gearbox drive centrifuge is especially suitable for high temperature like desert. If the jobsite is only need to use a few speeds, and it does not need to change speed frequently, the Mechanical gearbox drive variable speed decanter centrifuge is more suitable.

2) Another luxury variable speed centrifuge design is fully hydraulic drive centrifuge. The FHD centrifuge changes speed from the hydraulic drive system. The hydraulic drive system is suitable for high temperature area. But as you know, the hydraulic system itself is complex for operation and maintenance. And it is cost higher.
3) Another popular design of Variable frequency Drive (VFD) decanter centrifuge is changing speed through the speed of motor. They use frequency drive to change the speed of the motors to get different separation speed.

Chemical dosing system, is also named as dewatering unit, it is a mixing & storage system used to enhancing chemicals, or acid, alkali to other system or materials to reach a certain purpose. It is widely used in drilling waste management system, waste oil recovery system, waste water treatment system, soil clarification system, and other liquid treatment applications. Below are some of the applications of the dosing chemicals:

1) The chemical dosing system can be used to mix and prepare flocculent or polymers to remove the fine solids from waste oil or waste water. Mostly, the chemical dosing system is used together with decanter centrifuge separator. The separation point of centrifuge is 2 ~ 5 microns. Particles smaller than 2~ 5 microns is out of the range of centrifuge separation. After using flocculent, the ultra-fine particles and be flocculated to bigger size for centrifuge remove.

2) The chemical dosing system can be used to mixing and it can automatically add acid or alkali to liquid to reach the suitable PH degree. Mostly, the waste liquid is not neutral. It is either acidic or alkaline. During treatment, people should to make it to be neutral to reduce its harm to the environment. Based on the liquid situation, acid or alkali will be add to the system to neutralize the PH degree.

3) The chemical dosing system can be used to stock demulsifier for oily sludge separation system. After dosing the demulsifier, the viscosity of the oily sludge can be reduced, then it can be suitable for mechanical separation, like high G shaker, vertical cuttings dryer or decanter centrifuge. Decanter centrifuge is one of the most common equipment used together with chemical dosing system. According to different treating capacity requirement and the separating result, there are different sizes and different speed decanter centrifuge for option from world famous brand GN Solids Control. The bowl size varies from 9 inch, 14 inch, 18 inch, 22 inch and 30 inch.
