In the field of oil & gas drilling , decanter centrifuge is ideal solids control equipment for separating particles in drilling mud solids control system.
Decanter Centrifuge
But do you know what challenges centrifuge will face in application? Just see belows:
1. Minimize the need for gears or belts to drive the centrifuge.
2. Control and maintain speed during the decanting process.
3. Develop high torque at very low speeds.
4. Two motor applications, one for the bowl and one for the scroll.
5. The bowl has a very high-reflected inertia.
6. The scroll is usually in continuous regeneration, as it runs at a slower speed than the bowl and is pulled along.
7. Torque limiting on the scroll is very important.
8. Some configurations require zero-speed operation of the scroll (differential gearbox).
9. Dynamic braking or regenerative modules may be required if the bowl is NOT driven by a drive.
10. Explosion-proof environments.
As a China solids control company, KOSUN can supply complete line of high-speed, variable-speed and fully variable-speed decanter centrifuge for handling drilling fluids.
There used to be 3 overload safety protection on KOSUN DC Series centrifuge. One is the safety protection device of the gear box, second is the hydraulic coupler overload protection, third is the control panel with over currency protection. Nowadays as we change the drilling centrifuge structure there are 2 protections. One is hydraulic coupler overload protection to protect the bowl and the other is control panel protection to protect the screw conveyor.
