LYNX 20 decanter centrifuge – for cost-effective drilling
mud treatment
Posted: 05 May 2004
The launch of the Alfa Laval LYNX 20 provides the drilling mud
treatment market with a cost-effective, reliable decanter centrifuge.
Increased capacity and improved wear protection make the LYNX 20
the best solution for the drilling business, and the standard by
which all others are judged when it comes to performance. This specialist
unit not only reduces mud bills drastically, but also makes it possible
to increase the penetration rate considerably.
Alfa Laval is the world’s leading manufacturer of decanter
centrifuges, and has therefore been able to achieve previously unheard
of cost-effectiveness with the optimized design of this new unit.
Alfa Laval’s modern manufacturing facilities are well known
for their efficient production, and have now taken tried and tested
decanter technology one step further.
Specially designed to work with virtually all kinds of drilling
muds, the versatile LYNX 20 is optimized for use with the new water/synthetics-based
mud types, in addition to conventional oil-based drilling fluids.
A number of optional modules make the LYNX 20 drilling mud decanter
centrifuge ideal for use on drilling rigs. These include both fully
automated modules and relatively simple manually operated modules
that provide efficient solutions to virtually all solids control
separation requirements.
Selected features and benefits:
- Simple, compact and robust design
- High efficiency in removing fine solids
- Automatic, unattended operation
- Low operating cost and easy maintenance
- Reliability and long service life
- Extremely versatile – can be used with all mud types.
