The vertical centrifuge from KOSUN incorporates a high-speed vertical dryer that achieves maximum liquids/solids separation in large-volume processing. It gives operators a critical advantage in meeting increasingly stringent environmental regulations for onshore and offshore cutting disposal.

The KOSUN Vertical Centrifuge returns and recycles large percentages of SBM ( Synthetic Base Mud ) and OBM ( Oil Base Mud ) to an active system which in the past was lost as waste products to the environment. KOSUN Vertical Centrifuge can reduce total discharged OOC below 6%, which is currently the discharge limit in many areas of the world, our goal is 5% total OBM discharge to the environment, and even further.
 

High-speed Centrifuge for Maximum in Liquid/Solid Separation

The vertical centrifuge incorporates a high-speed vertical centrifuge that achieves maximum liquid/solid separation in large-volume processing. This mechanism makes the VERTI-G dryer one of the industry’s best performing and most dependable cutting dryers. The VERTI-G dryer gives operators a critical advantage in meeting increasingly stringent environmental rules for cuttings disposal. The flow of cuttings into the VERTI-G dryer is PLC-controlled and continuously fed to yield optimum liquid/ solid separation. Once cuttings are introduced into the dryer’s charge hopper, widely spaced, independently adjustable flights continuously direct cuttings to the shaker screen surface. Flights are tungsten carbide coated to reduce abrasion and ensure optimum tolerance.

The vertical centrifuge is capable of processing over 50 tons per hour and can deliver dry solids under the most severe loading. Vertical centrifuge has seen duty on rigs where instantaneous drilling conditions have reached 300ft per hour and was able to process these rates comfortably. The vertical centrifuge has been used on many types of fluids, including drilling fluids of both synthetic and diesel-based mud. As with all liquid separation equipment, like shale shakers, decanter centrifuges and vertical cutting dryers, viscosity will have an impact on performance.

KOSUN is a professional and leader in China solids control and drilling waste management, we always provide the high efficient equipment and comprehensive oilfield services and solutions for our customers.
