GN VFD centrifuge is made and designed for mud solids control and drilling waste management.

There are 4 parameters can be changed on GN VFD Decanter centrifuge:

1) Bowl speed: More speed, fluids more clean, and accordingly, solids more dryer

2) Conveyer speed: More conveyer speed, the centrifuge push material more fast, means shorter time for separation, more solids in fluids

3) Fluids height at centrifuge big end (the motor end): Now it is already the largest depth. The higher the fluids level, more clean of the fluids.

4) Pump flow: according to different treating material and different performance customer want, capacity different.

Centrifuge operator can follow below steps to find out the most suitable bowl speed, conveyer speed and pump feeding flow for decanter centrifuge in specified jobsite:

Step 1 find out the most suitable bowl speed of VFD decanter centrifuge:

Fixed the conveyor speed, like 30rpm, fix the pump flow, e.g.: 10m3/h: then increase bowl speed more and more. For more speed, the fluids phase from centrifuge will be more clean. So job site operator can try from 2500 / 2800/ 3000/3200 rpm. After 10min around normal running, take sample for each speed.

Compare the different samples to find out the best bowl speed.

Step 2 find out the best centrifuge conveyor speed:

Fix the bow speed as the same with step 1 found out, fixed the same pump flow, 10m3/h. Change conveyer speed from 23rpm, increase it more and more. For every conveyer speed, after 10min, take sample.

Compare different samples and find out the most suitable centrifuge conveyor speed for the jobsite.

Step 3: find out the biggest pump flow with best performance for the centrifuge in specified jobsite:

Set the most suitable bowl speed got from step 1. The most suitable conveyor speed from step 2, increase pump flow from 5m3/h. Increase it more and more, like, 5cbm, 8cbm, 10cbm, 15cbm, 18cbm, 20cbm, and compare the performance, to find the most suitable performance you want get.

After the 3 stages, you will find out the best performance can come out from decanter centrifuge in the specified jobsite.

Remember: Every time the treating material changed, the centrifuge operator should repeat the 3 steps to find out the new centrifuge setting suitable for the new condition.

Decanter centrifuge is a physical separation machine. If the final result cannot satisfy you, that means physical treatment not enough, you may need chemical treatment or combined with other process.

Dewatering unit is actually a mixing system for flocculant fine solids in drilling mud. The real function of dewatering unit is flocculation. After flocculation, very fine particle polymerized into bigger sizes suitable for centrifuge separation.

2 Kinds of chemicals normally be used for flocculation in dewatering unit: PAC & PAM. Chemical is dosed from hopper on top of mixing tank. Normally, customer choose 3-chamber dewatering unit.

Functions of the 3 chambers:

1# Chamber: chemical mixing,

2# Chamber: chemical Slaking,

3# Chamber: after mixing and slaking, the prepared material stocked in 3# chamber for usage.

Chemical transfer pump: suck chemical from 3# chamber and feed to decanter centrifuge.

Decanter centrifuge in dewatering unit: There are 2 feed pipes to dewatering centrifuge: One pipe is chemical feeding pump. Another pipe is screw pump feeding mud to centrifuge. Before the mud enters into centrifuge, it is mixed with flocculation chemicals.

If chemicals request a certain time to mixing thoroughly with mud, bend pipe will be used for centrifuge feeding. In this case, chemicals and mud can be mixed well before centrifuge treated.

After treated by decanter centrifuge: solids phase above 2~5 microns will be discharged from solids side. Water phase collected for further treatment.

After dewatering unit and dewatering centrifuge, fluids phase can be transferred to sewage treatment plant for further treatment. But it cannot be discharged into environment directly. As dewatering unit is a physical separation process. It utilizes flocculation function to make fine particles in bigger size, and then use high speed centrifuge force for separation. There still small amount fine solids (smaller size than 2~5 microns) and other chemical material.

Features of baby centrifuge
GNLW223 is a small size baby centrifuge. It is a decanter baby centrifuge specially designed for small capacity, small footprint, and used for fine solids separation with high speed.
Applications of baby centrifuge
This small size baby centrifuge have many applications, it can be used for drilling waste management system in some cases, the high speed is suitable for slurry separation, it is especially good for mining industry, diamond drilling and CBM drilling.

Models of GNLW223 baby centrifuge for CBM drilling, diamond drilling
1) GNLW223G: It is the basic baby centrifuge model. With fixed high speed up to 4900rpm. It is fixed speed with belt drive, means driven by electric motors.
2) GNLW223VFD. It is a variable frequency drive centrifuge with variable speed. It is control by PLC smart control system for VFD. The control panel with touch screen and bottom for operation. Just like a big Blackberry mobile phone.
3) GNLW223FHD: It is a full hydraulic drive decanter centrifuge with variable speed control. They model we cooperated with a German company for the hydraulic drive system.
