KOSUN Decanter Centrifuge Efficiently Removes Undesirable Solids

Apr 04, 2014

KOSUN Drilling Mud Decanter Centrifuge efficiently removes undesirable solids from drilling mud in crude oil extraction.

KOSUN Drilling Mud Decanter Centrifuges are designed specifically to remove unwanted solids and fine particles from virtually all kinds of used drilling mud, including those based on water/synthetics and conventional oil-based drilling fluids.

Built for heavy-duty processing, KOSUN's installation handles large quantities of solids in the feed flow, as well as being able to cope with coarse, abrasive particles. It also efficiently removes the vast majority of fine particles, down to sizes of around 5μm. Traditional equipment is unable to deal with these particles, which have a serious impact on the quality of drilling mud because of their abrasive effect. KOSUN Decanter has been designed for the best available wear protection in the market.

KOSUN's installation can pave the way for dramatic reductions in drilling mud costs because less mud is wasted. Being able to remove solids in very dry form also means lower costs for transporting and disposing of solids waste. Additional savings stem from opportunities for automatic, unattended operation, and from the extended service life of KOSUN's installations due to their exceptional reliability. The machines have been designed for reduced power consumption in relation with process flow.

Optional modules are available to match KOSUN's set-ups to specific needs encountered on drilling rigs. These include both fully automated modules and relatively simple manually operated modules that together provide cost-effective solutions to all solids separation requirements.
