Clarifying decanters for oil & gas

Optimize your offshore operations with high-efficiency clarifying decanters designed to handle complex slop treatment and drilling fluid recovery, ensuring environmental compliance and reducing discharge costs.

Separates and Processes Slop and Drilling Fluids

The Clarifying Decanter Centrifuges from GEA are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the oil, gas, and marine sectors, offering robust solutions for slop treatment and waste separation. These centrifuges employ a low bowl angle design for enhanced thickening and a hydraulic scroll drive for efficient separation. Capable of handling varied compositions like crude oil, drilling muds, and chemical slurries, they operate seamlessly in continuous, high-speed environments. Skid mounted and self-contained, they integrate effortlessly into your production line with automated, PLC-controlled operations. Constructed with stainless steel components, they ensure corrosion resistance and durability, suitable for challenging environments. Certified for safety with explosion-proof designs, these centrifuges offer an easy maintenance regime with pillow block designs and exchangeable solid discharge ports, maximizing uptime and operational efficiency.

Benefits

  • Enhances processing efficiency with continuous, high-speed operation.
  • Minimizes environmental impact through effective slop oil recovery.
  • Reduces maintenance time with quick service pillow block design.
  • Supports safe operation in hazardous zones with explosion-proof certification.
  • Extends equipment lifespan with corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction.
