One of the largest applications for the decanter centrifuge, certainly in terms of machines sold, is the dewatering of waste slurries arising from industrial processing, from raw water treatment, and from the treatment of municipal sewage. Almost all industrial … Read the rest
Positive displacement pumps (see Figures 1 and 2), unlike centrifugal pumps, theoretically can produce the same flow at a given speed (RPM) regardless of the discharge pressure. Thus, positive displacement pumps are constant flow machines. However, a slight increase in … Read the rest
Hydrocyclone are a broad classification of settling devices that include the desilter, desander, and centrifuge. These are all basically the same device in different size which separates solids at different cut points. … Read the rest
Two types of circulation techniques can be used for either a mud drilling system or an air or gas drilling system. These are direct (conventional) circulation and reverse circulation.… Read the rest
The active mud system is a system of tanks, lines, pumps, and valves to facilitate circulation of mud around the well and through the solids control equipment. The solids control equipment is described in the following section.… Read the rest
