Drilling fluid decanting centrifuge operating principle in oilfield

A drilling fluid decanting centrifuge (also known as a solid bowl centrifuge) separates continuously solid materials from liquids in the slurry and therefore plays an important role in the wastewater treatment, chemical, oil, and food processing industries. The drilling fluid decanting centrifuge separates the suspending fluids using the principle of centrifugal action, the suspending fluids are pushed into the rotor drum through the inlet pipe and the fluid hole of the spiral feeder. Under the influence of centrifugal force, solid phase particles are pushed to the internal wall of the drum, then to the mud export of the small end of the drum, and excreted. But the fluids are excreted from the overflow hole of the large end. Such a cycle is to achieve the purpose of continuous separation.
