They are used to remove large solids or cuttings from the drilling fluid ultilzing a vibrating basket outfitted with specially designed screens. Our high capacity dryers take up minimal rig space but deliver a heavy duty design that can handle high volumes of solids.
[pdf] Drilling fluid centrifuge is an essential equipment in oil drilling engineering, its main function is to separate solid particles in drilling fluid to ensure the performance and quality of drilling fluid.
[pdf] Centrifuges utilize Stoke’s Law in their operation. Stoke’s Law governs the settling velocity of particles in a liquid. We can state this relationship in its simplest form: Vs = A (ds2)(Ds – Di)/4.5 KU, Wh.
