Depends on the density and viscosity of the fluids to be treated, to make the solids liquids separation easily, for the fluids which is difficult to separate, normally we need to enlarge the solids particle size, reduce fluids viscosity and increase solids liquids density difference by methods of mechanical and chemical ways. Besides, we can also apply to increase concentration, preconcentration and wear resistant accordingly to improve the centrifuge treating capability and reduce the abrasion to the centrifuge screw.
The solution to enlarge the suspended particles by mechanical or chemical methods including:

1. Inorganic electrolyte is added to the suspension fluids as a coagulant to agglomerate small particles into large particles.
2. Mixing with flocculants or coagulants, the order of adding various flocculants, and the intensity and time of mixing have an impact on the flocculation effect. Therefore, the type and dosage of flocculants need to be determined by the mixing test. The requirement of Flocculation treatment effect is that the settling speed of flocculated fluids is fast, and the clarity of top layer clear liquid is good.
3. Change the viscosity and density of the fluids by adjusting temperature
   Especially for the oil sludge treatment by decanter centrifuge, heating the oil sludge and mixing with proper chemicals to reduce the viscosity will increase the solids liquid separation efficiency.
   A dewatering centrifuge package including one unit of dewatering centrifuge, centrifuge feeding pump, fluids catching tank with pipelines and tank accessories, chemical dosing unit.

If you need a dewatering centrifuge package, pls contact with GN solids control.

GN produced 3 phase disc centrifuge has been widely used for solids oil water separation of oil sludge treatment system. The working principal is as below:
Centrifuge separation methods include centrifugal sedimentation and centrifugal filtration, and centrifuge sedimentation can realize solid-liquid separation or solid- light liquid – heavy liquid separation. The working principles of two phase horizontal decanter centrifuge, three phase horizontal decanter centrifuge and three phase disc centrifuge produced by GN solids control are all centrifugal sedimentation. Therefore, the density difference between solid particles and light liquid and heavy liquids to be processed should be considered.

The important factors of the separation performance of the centrifuge are the gravity of the separator in the centrifuge bowl and the working area of the bowl. The larger of the bowl working area is, the stronger of the separation capacity is.
For the same oil sludge, its centrifugal sedimentation speed is constant. To improve the separation performance of the centrifuge, it is necessary to increase the working area of the centrifuge bowl. You can increase the number of separation discs, increase the rotation speed, optimize the surface and hardness of the discs, and reduce the bowl vibration (improve the bearing performance, enhance the rubber damping, etc.).

To improve the 3 phase disc centrifuge separation performance, we suggest to reduce the feed material solids content less than 3%, and the max solids size should be less than 100 microns. The material of bowl influence if the bowl can rotate with high speed and improve the disc centrifuge performance. The bowl is made of imported high strength, corrosion resistant stainless steel material, integral forged by high pressure, four non destructive testing, CNC machining, in order to ensure that the disc centrifuge operates safely and reliably.
For more information, pls contact with GN solids control.

A zero discharge system consists of three or four linear motion shale shakers to treat mud to separate the cuttings from drilling fluids. The drilling cuttings are discharged from shale shaker, desander, desilter, decanter centrifuge to a screw conveyor to transfer the cuttings to vertical cuttings dryer ( oil based drilling cuttings) or high G drying shaker ( water based drilling cuttings).

The vertical cuttings dryer is used to recover the oil from drilling cuttings. The discharged solids with oil content below 5% will be collected by screw conveyor for disposal or landfill directly or be sent to Thermal desorption unit for further heating and reduce the oil content to meet the environmental protection regulation.
The recovered oil fluids will be collected by fluids holding tank. One submersible slurry pump or progressive displacement pump transfer the fluids to decanter centrifuge to separate the colloidal particle solids from the drilling fluids. The fluids is returned to the solids control system by a transfer pump.

The water based drilling cuttings are treated by high G drying shaker through shaker screens, the discharged solids together with the solids discharged from decanter centrifuge are collected by screw conveyor and transfer to cuttings solidification unit, to mix with lime and absorber, the solidification of waste allowed the transportation and disposal of the solids without secondary containment, and converts hydrologic sensitive liquid and semi-liquids waste in a physical form which can be storage safely.
During the whole processing, the drilling waste treatment is in a closed loop without requiring dig a waste pit.
