Classifying decanter for barite recovery in oil & gas
Efficiently recover barite and clean drilling fluids with a high-performance classifying decanter designed for continuous separation of heavy solids in oil and gas operations.
The GEA rigMaster CF series, a classifying decanter centrifuge from GEA, ensures precise recovery of barite in drilling mud applications. Using a high-torque summationdrive, it efficiently classifies and separates heavy solids while maintaining continuous operation. Designed for the oil and gas industry, it delivers barite concentrates and clean drilling fluid essential for well performance.
Built with high-quality stainless steel, its components are optimized for durability in harsh environments, offering gas-tight and explosion-protected designs for hazardous zones. This centrifuge processes substantial volumes with low energy consumption, optimized by an external gear system and oil lubrication for bearings.
Integration with PLC-based control systems enhances automation, ensuring seamless operation with remote capabilities. Its design includes wear protection and is customizable to specific requirements, supported by engineering consultations for unique operational needs.
