This coating not only provides sturdy protection against the abrasive and corrosive nature of the minerals being processed but also ensures the equipment’s durability in harsh environmental conditions.

GN’s participation at IMARC emphasizes its status as a premium supplier in mining equipment. By exhibiting its Tailing Dewatering Centrifuge and Stack Vibrating Screen-Fine Sizer, the company is not only showcasing its dedication to advancing mining technology but also presenting solutions that tackle the industry’s most pressing challenges.

Solution to the Corrosion Defects of Decanter Centrifuge

It’s very important to protect the decanter centrifuge from the corrosion problems. GN separation is professional in manufacturing and maintaining decanter centrifuges. After the warranty period of decanter centrifuge, the corrosion defects and their treatment methods are as follows:

  1. Pitting corrosion, the following three conditions are minor, so they can not be dealt with temporarily.

1) Large pitting corrosion zone, but no cracks;

2) For scattered corrosion pits, the maximum corrosion depth has not exceeded half of the wall thickness value (not including the calculated thickness of the corrosion margin) required for the calculation of the strength of the vessel;

3) There is no serious chain pitting in the scattered pitting area.

  1. There are three treatment methods for single corrosion defects under the skin of the decanter centrifugeand individual pit corrosion defects with an area less than 40mm.

1) When it is shallow, you can leave it alone

2) When it is deeper, the sanding method can be adopted, but the wall thickness should meet the strength requirements after sanding;

3) If the strength requirements cannot be met after grinding, surfacing treatment should be used.

  1. When several large pits with a single area diameter of not more than 40mm exist at the same time, there are two situations.

1) When the distance between two adjacent defects is greater than 120mm, they can be treated as individual pit corrosion defects;

2) When the distance between two adjacent defects is less than 120mm and greater than 50mm, and the corrosion depth does not exceed 60% of the wall thickness, surfacing treatment can be used.

  1. When the local corrosion defect of the centrifuge does not affect the strength requirement and the area is large (such as large area spots or ulcerative corrosion), it can be treated with metal spraying.
  2. The local uniform corrosion defects of the centrifuge can be dealt with according to the following three conditions.

1) The corrosion area can be large or small, as long as the depth of the defect does not exceed 40% of the original thickness of the wall, surfacing can be used;

2) When several uniformly corroded defects exist at the same time, the area of ​​a single piece is not greater than 50mm*50mm, and the distance between two adjacent corrosion areas is greater than 50mm, and the depth of the defect does not exceed 60% of the original thickness of the wall, it can be surfacing;

3) When there are too many corroded pieces or the distribution is too wide, cut and repair or replace the defective tube section or tube body can be used.

  1. The overall uniform corrosion defect of the centrifuge is the least dangerous kind of corrosion defects. Generally, only anti-corrosion measures are used and no other treatments are performed.
  2. The intergranular corrosion defect is one of the most dangerous defects. For this type of defect, preventive measures are mainly taken. Otherwise, this type of defect can only be replaced as a whole.

3 Sets GNLW654-VFD Dewatering Centrifuge Package  for North African Municipal Sludge Dewatering

Recently, GN Separation, a leading manufacturer in sludge dewatering technology, successfully completed production on a batch of municipal sludge dewatering decanter centrifuges destined for a North African country. This substantial order includes three GNLW654-VFD dewatering decanter centrifuges and one 6500L Chemical dosing unit with 3 screw-type metering pumps.

In municipal wastewater treatment, sludge dewatering decanter centrifuges play a crucial role in reducing sludge moisture content, making it easier to manage and dispose of. A key feature of GN’s dewatering decanter centrifuge is the use of tungsten carbide for components that come into direct contact with sludge. Known for its exceptional hardness and wear resistance, tungsten carbide ensures these parts can withstand the abrasive nature of sludge, enhancing the centrifuges’ durability and reducing maintenance and operational costs.

These decanter centrifuges also incorporate dilute oil lubrication systems that continuously lubricate the main bearings. This real-time lubrication minimizes friction and wear, enabling smooth and stable operation and sustaining optimal performance over prolonged periods. Each GN dewatering centrifuge is equipped with temperature and vibration sensors that provide real-time operational data. This monitoring helps operators detect potential issues early, preventing costly repairs or downtime.
