Vertical Centrifuge of Kosun Manufacturer Equipment Work Principle

Vertical Centrifuge

Vertical centrifuge  is a machine widely used in major industries to separate solid particles in a liquid.  It rotates a very high speed creating the centrifugal force which causes the particles with higher density to move downwards and accumulate at the base. The movement speed is much higher than it would be under a normal gravitational force.

Vertical  decanter centrifuge machine has a base, a rotating tube that is vertical to the base and two vials that at fixed by the centrifuge arms to the rotating tube. The centrifuge arms are fixed on the top of the tube that rotates and hence can move upright at 90. On spinning of the tube, the materials are pulled by the centrifugal force into the vials towards the center.

The inertia of higher density components is also higher so they respond less to the centrifugal force. This lets them outward and the lesser density component are pulled inwards. This process leads to the separation of mixture of different components.

Carl de Laval, a Swedish Engineer had invented the centrifuge in 1883. He used it to isolate the cream from milk.  In 1920, Theodor Svedberg, also a Swedish Engineer further worked on Carl de Laval’s experiment and improved upon it. He created the ultracentrifuge that is used to separate the tiny particles of same weight. The vials are not very big in diameter in a ultracentrifuge.

In different industries the centrifuges used are rotated on different ranges between 1000 and 15000 rpm. In some other scientific applications the rotation is on a very high rate that can create a force of more than 25000 times as that of gravity.

The University of Colarado also invented a super-centrifuge. This is used to test effects of explosions on building.

The centrifuge invented by Laval is used for separating the impurities like water from oil, waste water treatment to purify the water.

How does Decanter Centrifuge Work?

Decanter Centrifuge

Introduction: Decanter centrifuge is a very common equipment that is often found in an oil or gas drilling site. A decanter centrifuge is a very important machine for oil and gas drillers. A decanter centrifuge is basically used to dilute the underground fluids and liquids.

The main job of a decanter centrifuge is to rotate the drilling fluids and in doing so breaking the concentration of those fluids. The whole working functions of any decanter centrifuges is pretty much complex. Here is a discussion given below about how a decanter centrifuge works.

The way a decanter centrifuge works:  As it is mentioned before the process of a decanter centrifuge is a bit complex. Usually,  decanter centrifuges depend on sedimentation, differential speed and G force to perform its job. A decanter centrifuge needs a centrifugal force in order to loosen the fluid.

The sedimentation rate is an important feature for the centrifugal process. If the G force or centrifugal force is very high, the separation process becomes very easy and effective. The size and shape of particles and their level of concentration determine the sedimentation rate of any decanter centrifuge.

The sedimentation rate also depends on the centrifugal force. Another important issue for the functionality of decanter centrifuges is the differential speeds. In a centrifuge two different parts rotate simultaneously. The first part that rotates is the exterior bowl and the second part that rotates is scroll conveyor. Sedimentation is gathered in the centrifugal cylinder as the result of varying speed of the two above mentioned separate parts.

If the differential speed of decanter centrifuges is too high, a little time is required to loosen up the concentration of waste fluids. So, it is very important to keep the differential speed of a decanter centrifuge minimal. Thus, a decanter centrifuge operates its functionalities.

KOSUN is capable of providing customers with such three series as oil & gas drilling solids control equipment, centrifuges and drilling waste treatment equipment , including 25 categories of products.

Decanter Centrifuge Defined Meaning

Decanter Centrifuge

Introduction: Modern gas and oil drilling sites are just a rigid manifestation of multi layered complex mechanism. Several gigantic equipments are set and operated in a single oil or gas drilling sites. The mechanisms of these equipments are very complex and very subtle. A very common equipment that is seen in an oil and gas drilling site is a decanter centrifuge.

A decanter centrifuge is a very useful equipment for any drilling site. Here in this article, we will try to provide a brief description about what a  really it is.

A brief description of a decanter centrifuges: A decanter centrifuge is a device that can create a very fast rotation that is basically used to dilute the fluid that is extracted from the gas or oil mine. Generally, the liquid that is extracted from a mine is of highly concentrated and coagulated. So, extracting minerals from them is practically impossible. In order to thin up the extracted fluids, a decanter centrifuge is used. By using the rotational speed of a decanter centrifuge, the highly concentrated are turned into minerals extractable thin liquid.

There are three basic designs of decanter centrifuges:

The first one is vertically oriented decanter centrifuges.
The second one is horizontally oriented decanter centrifuges.
The third one is conveyor or scroll decanter centrifuges.

In the vertically oriented decanter centrifuges, the fluids or solids are gathered vertically. Vertical decanter centrifuges are very effective for high temperature and high pressure work. A horizontally oriented decanter centrifuges gathers the fluids or solids generated from high rotation in horizontal orientation. A horizontally oriented decanter is very effective for high pressure works as it provides a strong organization due to its horizontal orientation. Lastly, a conveyor or scroll centrifuge is basically a rotating machine inside a bowl.

Horizontal Decanter Centrifuge Operation and Maintenance

Horizontal Decanter Centrifuge

A machine running on a centrifugal force to separate different parts is called a centrifuge. Dehydrator Centrifuge is a common device that is usually found on oil or gas drilling sites.

Dewatering machine Centrifuge for oil and gas drilling machine, basically used to dilute the underground liquid and liquid. The main task of the settling centrifuge is to rotate the drilling fluid, thereby destroying the concentration of these fluids. The overall job function of anything is very complicated.

Centrifugal force is the body in the high-speed rotation by the power. They are commonly used to separate components of different densities, such as water and solids. Decanter centrifuge is a special type of centrifuge that separates

solid components from liquids such as drilling waste.

It plays an important role in waste water treatment, chemical industry and food processing. The performance of the settling centrifuge depends on several different factors.
Most of the drilling and handling equipment handling components of the mixture. It is necessary to separate them separately for further processing.

Three types of decanter centrifuges are used in the industry: horizontal, vertical and conveyor. It is basically a high-speed rotating bowl that separates the solid from the liquid matrix. In the case of a drilling industry, inputs are drilling waste.

Centrifuges are easy to install and require less maintenance. Even if skilled operators need to operate them, decanter centrifuges help save a lot of money and improve the overall efficiency of the industry.

Centrifuge provides more flexibility and better feedback mechanisms. This allows the operator to allow the machine to work under different settings to separate the different components. The space required to set up the machine is very small, easy to start or close, allowing multiple units to work at once.
