16 Packages GN Solids Control Centrifuge for Offshore Drilling Company

Recently 16 packages of GN solids control centrifuges are shipped to offshore drilling company, this is the repeat order from this client.


The offshore decanter centrifuge package including one centrifuge with feed pump and solids discharge trough, one offshore skid, one fluids catching tank and transfer pump, one offshore used VFD control panel. All of the equipments are installed as compact unit for offshore application, the skid and decanter centrifuge lifting pad is designed comply with DNV 2.7-1 standard.
The decanter centrifuge motor and VFD control panel is adopted with offshore applied explosion proof standard. The ambient temperature to be used is -20℃ to +55℃.The standard atmospheric pressure is 80 Kp to 110Kp, normal oxygen content 21%, it can be used with altitude <1000m, relative humidity less than 95%. One centrifuge is composed of main bowl assembly, power drive system, feeding and discharge device and electrical control system.


The decanter centrifuge is widely used in the solids control and drilling waste treatment project, it works to separate the solids phase from drilling fluids, remove the harmful fine drilling solids such as debris in the drilling mud, or recover weighting materials such as barite , etc. as to save the drilling fluids cost. The decanter centrifuge can be used for both onshore and offshore projects, but the electric motor, control panel including VFD control panel, cables standard are different.
GN solids control can produce 9 inch bowl centrifuge, 14 inch bowl centrifuge, 18 inch bowl centrifuge, 22 inch bowl centrifuge, 30 inch bowl centrifuge, each size decanter centrifuge provides 2 models as rated frequency and variable frequency drive. Except for 2 phase decanter centrifuge, we also produce three phase decanter centrifuge to separate oil, solids and water for oily waste water treatment.

GN Decanter Centrifuge System for Africa Oilfield Waste Water Treatment

Recently one set of GN decanter centrifuge separation system are ready for shipment to Africa oilfield waste water treatment project. The system including mixing module, decanter centrifuge separation module, chemical dosing unit module, water recovery and transfer module.


The mixing module including mixing tank with mud agitator, to mix the oilfield waste water, the decanter centrifuge feeding pump will suck the water from the mixing tank to decanter centrifuge, at the same time, the chemical dosing unit will prepare the mixed chemicals and the screw pump will transfer the chemicals to centrifuge feed tube, so the decanter centrifuge can treat the waste water better, the treated water will flow to the water recovery tank and will be transferred to other tanks by the transfer pump.


The decanter centrifuge can separate the waste water into solids phase and liquid phase, GN also produce three phase decanter centrifuge, to separate the waster water into oil, water and solids. A three phase decanter centrifuge uses continuous high G centrifugal force to separate components based on density differential. The three-phase separation (solids, water, oil) happens because:
Solids (highest density) move to the bowl wall.
Water (middle density) forms an intermediate layer.
Oil (lowest density) forms an inner layer (if present in sufficient quantity).

GN decanter centrifuge features including:
1. The bowl and screw core shaft are made of duplex stainless steel SS2205 or SS2304 by centrifugal casting, which is superior to the performance of SS304 and SS316;
2. The solids outlet and liquid outlet are protected by replaceable hard alloy sleeve.
3. The main material of the screw is duplex stainless steel SS2205 or SS2304.
4. The screw propeller is protected by tungsten carbide tiles for longer working life.
