Classifying decanter for barite recovery in oil & gas
Efficient barite recovery is essential in drilling mud treatment to reduce costs and maintain performance. Traditional methods can be resource-intensive and less effective. The need for precise separation of heavy solids from drilling mud is critical to optimize resource use and enhance operational efficacy.
Recover heavy solids from drilling mud
The classifying decanter offered by GEA is specifically designed for barite recovery in oil and gas drilling mud treatment. This decanter handles only very heavy solids, enabling effective recycling of valuable barite back into the process. The GEA rigMaster CF series leverages high torque and high throughput capacities to deliver excellent classification results while maintaining low energy consumption. Key features include high-quality wear protection, an external gear system for maximum gear protection, and oil lubrication for all bearings to meet exacting demands. Constructed from high-quality stainless steel for all product-contacting parts, it suits hazardous zones with its gas-tight and explosion-protected design. The GEA summationdrive ensures optimum differential speed with minimal energy use.
