The Operation of a Decanter Centrifuge

The operation of a decanter centrifuge can be either batch or continuous and is not altogether dissimilar to other types of centrifuges. A metal or plastic cylinder fixed along a central axis houses the materials or solutions to be sorted. When a motor engages the axis perpendicular to this, it creates a rotational movement capable of creating gravitational pulls up to twenty thousand times that of normal gravity. This causes larger particles to separate out first in a radial direction allowing them to move toward the bottom of the cylinder while lighter materials move toward the top.

Decanter Centrifuge

In some decanter centrifuges a mesh is used to collect solids with liquids passing through to the outer area of the cylinder before being drained. In other models a helical extraction screw directs solids to one end and liquids to the other. If high enough acceleration is reached, the solids may even become compressed for easy removal. Both new and used centrifuges are available to purchase. As adjustable and fixed acceleration models are widely available, it is important to consider the parameters of a specific application before purchasing a decanter centrifuge. Capacity should also be considered with regard to the intended use as should the design and material construct of a decanter centrifuge as these materials must be compatible with both process liquids and solids to be sorted.

Decanter centrifuges utilize centrifugal force to speed the dewatering or thickening of slurries and suspensions in many industrial and commercial applications. While these centrifuges, like others, may also be used to separate liquids from liquids, they are more applicable in situations that require the separation of liquids from appreciable amounts of suspended solids.

Food and beverage, water treatment, oil, gas and pharmaceutical industries commonly employ decanter centrifuges for the classification of solids based on the sedimentation principle as well as the clarification of fluids resulting from the settling out of debris. Other industrial uses for decantation include solids recovery which enables many manufacturing facilities to recover and reuse valuable materials that would otherwise be disposed of along with wastewater.

While gravity alone is sometimes used, decanter centrifuges are essential in applications where the density difference of elements within a heterogeneous mixture is too small or the particles themselves are too small. Whereas normal gravity could take ages to sort these materials, the centrifugal force generated by industrial centrifuges speeds the process while producing drier solids. Dryness is important as both dewatering and drying materials helps to provide raw or processed substances that are lighter in weight than their immersed counterparts making for easier handling and lower transportation costs.

Kosun Decanter Centrifuge Working Principle

To fully understand Kosun Decanter Centrifuge Working Principle, we first define what is decanter centrifuge. A decanter centrifuge is a device that can create a very fast rotation. A decanter centrifuge is basically used to dilute the fluid that is extracted from the gas or oil mine.

Decanter Centrifuge Working Principle

There are several types of decanter centrifuges currently utilized in the industry, the most common of which are vertical decanter centrifuge, horizontal decanter centrifuge and conveyor decanter centrifuge. The principle behind a decanter centrifuge is based on the theory of gravitational separation. For example, if you fill a glass with a mixture of mud and water, over time the weight of the mud will cause it to settle down at the base of the glass. With the mud congealed at the bottom, the water will be forced upwards, creating a clear separation between the two.

A decanter centrifuge employs the same principles of gravitational force. However, unlike the glass mixture, the process is expedited through the use of continuous rotation. In fact, rotation provides anywhere from 1000 to 4000 times the normal gravitational force, reducing the time required for separation from hours to seconds.

The concept of rotational separation is similar to rides found at amusement parks and county fairgrounds. In these rides, placing yourself at an angle allows you to overcome the gravitational forces induced by rotation. Similarly, a decanter centrifuge is essentially a bowl tube that rotates at an extremely high speed. The bowl tube is equipped with an internal conveyor which moves in the same direction but at a different velocity.

Step 1: The slurry is inserted into the centrifuge through a connecting pipe and onto a conveyor.

Step 2: Utilizing an internal feed compartment, the conveyor ushers the slurry through a nozzle into the bowl area.

Step 3: The bowl rotates at high speeds to induce gravitational forces.

Step 4: High speed rotation separates the solid material from the liquid in a matter of seconds.

Step 5: The conveyor delivers the solid material upwards where it is discharged through a nozzle.

Step 6: The solid material removed, the purified liquid is released from a separate output.

3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge in Oil Recovery Unit

3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge(Three-phase Decanter Centrifuge) is also called Tri-canter centrifuge, it is commonly used in oil drilling work to separate the oil rate from drilling solids, it belongs decanter centrifuge series. In Oil Recovery Unit project, 3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge is the core solid control equipment in the whole system. Today we will share more information about 3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge.

3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge

Just as we all know that decanter centrifuge is the main equipment for a whole solid control system, even in the drilling waste management unit, we also need a VFD decanter centrifuge (of course, cutting dryer is also the core part one on drilling waste management, while mud cleaner is the important equipment in solid control system), both system should be worked with drilling mud tank, that is to say, the whole equipment should be mounted in the mud tank. 3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge is the core one for the whole oil recovery unit.

You will find necessary information about oil recovery unit in last post. We did not mention the 3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge in that post. In our design, 3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge is a kind of solid control equipment used to separate the mud, water and oil from the drilling solids. Comparing with traditional decanter centrifuge, the most important function of the three-phase decanter centrifuge is that it could separate the oil from the drilling solids, while the traditional one just could separate the mud and water.

Generally speaking, 3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge is always used in huge solid control system or the system like Oil Recovery Unit. The common feature of these units is they are huge and complicated. At the same time, because of the high technology needs and heavy difficult for design and manufacture, 3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge is the one with blooming and splendid.

If you are interested in our solid control system or drilling waste management, please feel free to contact Kosun for more details information. We are always here to support your demand!

Why decanter centrifuge is indispensable in drilling operation?

Before hydrocyclones (desanders and desilters) and decanter centrifuge became available for drilling applications, shale shakers and dilution were the only means of solids control of drilling fluids. Consequently, solids too fine to be separated by the shaker screens in use could be controlled only by dilution which was a costly procedure that generated large quantities of excess drilling fluid. Decanter centrifuge was designed to remove the fine cut and at the same time reduce the drilling cost.

The work principle of decanter centrifuge:Centrifuges, like shale shakers and hydrocyclones, are solids control equipment, It achieves the separation goal by dividing the fluid into highdensity and lowdensity streams to separate one from the other. The processing is achieved by accelerated sedimentation. As the drilling fluid passing through a rapidly rotating bowl, centrifugal force moves the heavier particles to the bowl wall, where they are scraped toward the underflow discharge ports by a concentric auger, also called a scroll or conveyor, which rotates at a slightly slower rate than the bowl. The separation of the heavier particles divides the processed fluid into two streams: the heavy phase, also called the underflow or cake; and the lighter phase, which is called the overflow, light slurry or centrate. The heavy phase will be discarded while the lighter one will be returned to the mud tank to be further treated. The removal of these solids in order to control rheology and filter cake quality is the primary reason for centrifuging weighted drilling fluids. When the finest solids are not removed, the only alternative means of reducing their concentration is dilution, always an expensive process.

Brief description of Decanter Centrifuge

A decanter centrifuge is a device that can create a very fast rotation. A decanter centrifuge 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. 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.

Decanter Centrifuge
Decanter Centrifuge

The first one is vertically oriented decanter centrifuge, the second one is horizontally oriented decanter centrifuge and finally the third one is conveyor or scroll decanter centrifuge. In the vertically oriented decanter centrifuges, the fluids or solids are gathered vertically. Vertical decanter centrifuge isvery effective for high temperature and high pressure work. A horizontally oriented decanter centrifuge 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.

How does a decanter centrifuge work?

As it is mentioned before the process of a decanter centrifuge is a bit complex. Usually, a decanter centrifuge depends on sedimentation, differential speed and G force to perform its job. 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 a decanter centrifuge 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 a decanter centrifuge 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. (Editor:Kosun Lily.Wang)
