No drilling without liquid
Drilling mud, also known as drilling fluid, is a mixture used in drilling operations to lubricate the drill head, stabilize the borehole and transport the drill cuttings to the surface. Spent drilling fluids are the used fluids that have been contaminated with drill cuttings and other impurities during the process.
Efficient barite recovery
Continuous treatment of drilling fluids with GEA centrifuges ensures smooth process sequences. Our centrifuges reliably separate unwanted solid materials, preventing any contamination of ground and sea water. This allows the drilling fluids to be reused on a permanent basis. Additionally, centrifuges can recover the relatively expensive heavy mineral, barite, which is added to increase the weight and density of the drilling fluids. Our centrifuges are highly flexible, capable of both purifying the drilling mud and recovering barite.
Minimizing environmental risks
Improper disposal of spent drilling fluids can lead to soil and water contamination, posing significant environmental risks. Effective treatment and recycling of these fluids are crucial to minimize their ecological footprint and ensure sustainable drilling practices.
Robust and reliable centrifuges
The design of our centrifuges prioritizes robustness to withstand the high pressure exerted by drilling fluids and barite. To achieve this, our centrifuge drives are engineered for maximum torque and high differential speeds right from the start, all while maintaining a high throughput rate. Operating at low speeds, our centrifuges minimize wear and tear. Every component in contact with the product is made from materials that are highly resistant to erosion and corrosion. Thanks to our heavy-duty wear protection, our machines remain reliable and robust under extreme conditions.
Our decanter centrifuges are designed to handle fluctuating feed conditions with ease, thanks to a wide differential speed range that can be continuously adjusted. The innovative GEA summationdrive® ensures that only the necessary power is supplied, making the drive exceptionally energy efficient. Coupled with an intuitive operating system, our centrifuges are not only robust and flexible but also energy-efficient and user-friendly.
