A complete solids removal unit consists of shale shaker, decanter centrifuge, centrifuge feeding pump, mixing hopper, mixing pump, mud gun( agitator), compact design mud tank and accessories. The function of the solids removal unit (SRU) is a closed loop fluids treatment system to recycle the water for mineral and diamond core drilling, the purpose is to reduce the water consumption, reduce the environmental impact, improve the drilling efficiency.
According to different drilling conditions, we have 2 models of mini centrifuge for option, GNLW223 is a standard mini decanter centrifuge with max bowl speed 4500rpm and max G force up to 2492G. We can also provide variable frequency drive for this centrifuge for smaller current in start if need. GNLW224-VFD is a high configuration variable speed mini decanter centrifuge with max bowl speed 5000rpm. Both of GNLW223 and GNLW224-VFD centrifuge with bowl diameter 9 inch, the bowl length is different, the client can select it according to their actual requirement.


GNZS752 is a 2 panel mini shale shaker, to separate the coarse solids from the diamond core drilling waste water, it can greatly improve the separation efficiency of mini decanter centrifuge, and protect the centrifuge screw. Without the mini shaker, the centrifuge bowl will be blocked frequently and damage very fast. GN mini centrifuge bowl screw propeller is protected by tungsten carbide tiles for longer working life, especially when the solids content is high in the waste water, it will improve the centrifuge working life greatly.
If you need a mini shale shake and mini decanter centrifuge or complete solids removal unit for core drilling, pls contact with GN solids control.

3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge for oil water separation to China ES Company

One unit of three phase decanter centrifuge is ready for delivery to China Environmental Science company for oil water separation.
The three phase decanter centrifuge working principal is as below:


The solids, oil and water with different gravity, so the generated centrifugal force is different. The solids with largest specific gravity will generate highest centrifugal force, the next is the heavy phase liquid ( water) and the light phase liquid (oil). Due to different centrifugal force, one solid layer and two liquid layer are formed. The solids to be pushed out by the screw, the liquids are separated out from their respective nozzles, the solids oil water separation can be achieved.


GN three phase decanter centrifuge is designed for oil water solids separation under 24 hours continuous working and easy operation & maintenance. The main components including centrifuge driving system, decanter bowl, screw inside the bow, centrifuge skid and VFD control panel.
The 3 phase decanter centrifuge is installed on the mud tank or on the telescopic skid with feeding pump, it has been widely used for oil sludge treatment system. The oil sludge can not be feed into the three phase decanter centrifuge directly, the sludge vacuum pump will pick up the oil sludge from waste pit to the pre-mixing tank, with chemical jetting, heating and agitating, the submersible slurry pump will suck from the pre-mixing tank to shale shaker module to separate the coarse solids and reduce solids content, the fluids discharged from shale shaker will be feed to two phase decanter centrifuge with proper chemicals for fine solids separation. The liquid treated by the 2 phase decanter centrifuge can be feed to three phase decanter centrifuge for oil water separation by adding proper chemicals.
