Selecting and Operating for Optimal Performance
Not all centrifuges are created equal. Key operational variables must be considered:
Bowl Speed: Higher G-force improves separation efficiency for finer particles.
Conveyor Differential Speed: This controls the dryness of the discharged solids cake. A lower differential allows for a longer residence time and a drier cake.
Pool Depth: Adjusted by weir plates, a deeper pool provides finer liquid clarification, while a shallower pool yields a drier solids cake.
Feed Rate and Properties: The centrifuge must be sized and configured to handle the specific flow rate and mud properties of the operation.
