Decanter centrifuge http://www.kosun.us/solids-control-equipment/decanter-centrifuge.html is one of the equipment in solids control system on oil field. 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.
Decanter centrifuge is used in many industrial applications such as: Oil /solids separation,Industrial and biological wastewater treatment, food processing,Fish processing, Chemical slurry.The decanting centrifuge slurry is fed through a stationary pipe, which is inside a hollow shaft connected to a screw conveyor or scroll.The slurry enters a feed compartment located inside of the conveyor and is forced through discharge nozzles to the bowl section.Once inside the bowl, centrifugal force causes the material to separate.The screw conveyor moves the solids to the tapered end where they are discharged.Clear fluid flows out the other end.Some decanter centrifuges are powered by a motor and gearbox combination. The gearbox provided the correct speed and torque to drive the solid control centrifuge.
KOSUN DC series decanter centrifuge is used in separating suspension of solids phase with particle diameter(d≥2μm) for drilling mud and fluids handling. Ruggedly built for oilfield and industrial services, it is especially effective in environmentally sensitive areas.Drilling mud decanter centrifuge, in which there is no physical separation between the solid and liquid phase, rather an accelerated settling due to centrifugal acceleration.With all the mentioned features, KOSUN decanter centrifuge can meet with different requirements of mud treatment for various industry.
