Common Classification Methods and Application of Drilling Fluid Centrifuge

The drilling fluid centrifuge is usually installed at the final stage of the drilling mud circulating
system, mainly for the suspension of the solid phase particle diameter 2m separated from the
suspension, or separate two different liquid in emulsion with different densities and are not
mutually immiscible . Drilling fluid centrifuge is very effective for oilfield drilling and industrial
services, especially for the environmentally sensitive areas. It has high recovery rate, make solids
control effectively, can significantly reduce mud supplement and handle costs.
Drilling Fluid Centrifuge Classified by Working Principle:
1, Drilling Fluid Decanter Centrifuge: This is the centrifugal separator by using centrifugal
sedimentation separate the suspension liquid. The suspension added the bowl under the action of
centrifugal force is formed an annular liquid layer, wherein the solid particles settle to the bowl
wall to form a sediment. Clear liquid discharged through the bowl overflow port or drum pipette,
it is called separated liquid. After separation done,the sediment discharged by manual or
mechanical methods.
Drilling fluid decanter centrifuge is widely used, particularly suitable for the separation when
centrifugal filtration due to the solid particles easily clog the filter media and the filtration
resistance is too large, excessive loss of the fine particles, but the humidity of sediment is high.
Solid-liquid phase density difference is small, small solid particles or liquid viscosity of the
suspension should be difficult to separate, the high selective separation factor drilling screw
decanter centrifuge drum extend the suspension residence time (for example, reduced feed the
amount or using a long drum, etc.), can ensure the separation of liquid clarification.
2, Drilling fluid centrifuge drum: the inner cylindrical body with a plurality of meshes in a fixed
tact type casing is rotated, both ends of the housing is equipped with hydraulic seals, the inner
cylinder shaft extends outwardly through a seal, to be treated slurry and dilution water from the
top left of the input housing, the rotation of the inner cylinder, the slurry in the annular space
between the inner and outer cylinder is rotated under the action of centrifugal force the solid phase
material barite and other large particles fly to the inner wall of the outer cylinder, by an adjustable
choke nozzle discharge. Choke mouth opening degree adjusting the pump speed or flow rate can
be adjusted bottom stream. While the slurry is a slow sinking of light through the sieve into the
simplified inner cylinder is discharged from the hollow shaft. Such a large amount of drilling mud
centrifuge processing, recyclable 82% to 96% of barite.
The drilling fluid centrifuge according to centrifugal force, speed, separation point and into the
pulp capacity can be divided into:
1, The drilling fluid barite recovery centrifuge: speed of 1600 ~ 1800r / min, a centrifugal force of
500 to 700 times gravity. Low density solids separation point is 6 to 10 microns, high density
solids separation point 4 to 7 microns. Into the plasma volume is generally 2.3 ~ 9m3 / h. This
drilling fluid centrifuge to remove colloids, control of plastic viscosity.
2, High-speed drilling fluid centrifuge: speed of 2500 ~ 3000 r / min, the centrifugal force from
1200 to 2100 times the force of gravity. Separation point of up to 2 to 5 microns, is determined by
the speed of the slurry into the type of fluid to be separated, the fluid used to remove the
centrifuge 2 to 5 microns.

3, A large amount of processing drilling fluid centrifuge: the amount of slurry into 23 ~ 45 m3 / h,
speed is 1900 ~ 2000 r / min. Centrifugal force is about 800 times the force of gravity. Separation
point 5 to 7 microns. Such a centrifuge is used to remove the drilling fluid is greater than 5 to 7
microns solid phase.
