3-Phase Separating Decanters for Oil & Gas

Our available decanters for this application have a low bowl angle for optimal thickening and a hydraulic scroll drive for maximum power. We have also the patented bowl design for handling of brine with a specific gravity of up to 1.5 sg.

GEA tackles this challenge with a successful combination consisting of mechanical separation technology, minimum use of chemical agents and the right process. Our 3-phase decanters of the new ecoforce series combine high performance with low energy consumption. Together with the decanter featuring the super pond depth design, the integrated summationdrive ensures that energy consumption has been reduced by a further 30 percent. With the summationdrive, a primary drive drives the bowl and a secondary drive drives the scroll, and the performance of both motors is combined. An intelligent kinematic solution combines the capacities of the two motors (“summation” arrangement), and then forwards them precisely to the bowl and scroll. Unnecessary conversion losses, such as those encountered with other solutions featuring back drive, are not encountered with the summationdrive. A further major aspect of the new generation is the fully automatic facility for adjusting the differential speed in a broad range as well as the low space requirement. With its high speed and high g-force as well as the super deep pond design, our decanters ensure optimum performance with a minimum space requirement.
