GN Separation has recently completed the delivery of four packages of Baby decanter centrifuges to a European customer, designed for solids-liquid separation in mineral exploration drilling mud applications. This shipment marks another successful application of compact decanter centrifuge technology in the mining and exploration sector.
Application: Mineral Exploration Drilling Mud Treatment
In mineral exploration projects, drilling operations generate a large volume of drilling mud containing fine solids. Efficient solids-liquid separation is critical to:
Recover and reuse drilling fluids
Reduce waste volume and disposal costs
Improve drilling efficiency and site cleanliness
The supplied baby decanter centrifuges are specifically selected to handle exploration mud with fine particles and variable solids concentration, ensuring stable separation performance under challenging field conditions.
Compact Design, Reliable Performance
The baby decanter centrifuge is a compact, skid-mounted solution featuring:
High rotational speed for enhanced separation efficiency
Small footprint, suitable for mobile or space-limited exploration sites
Robust design for continuous operation in harsh working environments
Despite its compact size, the unit delivers reliable performance in removing fine solids from drilling mud, making it an ideal choice for exploration and pilot-scale projects.
Complete Package Supply
Each package includes the baby decanter centrifuge main assembly, drive system, control cabinet, and auxiliary components required for smooth operation. The modular package design allows for easy installation, transportation, and commissioning, especially for overseas projects and remote exploration sites.
Supporting Sustainable Exploration Operations
By applying mechanical separation technology, the customer can significantly reduce drilling mud consumption and environmental impact. The reuse of clarified liquid helps minimize fresh water usage, aligning with increasingly strict environmental requirements in European mining and exploration projects.
GN Separation continues to provide customized separation solutions for mining, tunneling, and exploration industries worldwide. With proven experience and reliable equipment, GN remains committed to supporting customers with efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable solids control technologies.
