LYNX - Drilling mud decanter - LYNX 35

Product catalog summary

Overview
The Alfa Laval LYNX 35 decanter centrifuge is designed for efficient slop oil treatment, utilizing centrifugal force to separate oil from water and solids. It offers enhanced clarity and dryness of separated phases, making it a cost-effective solution for three-phase separation.

Key Features and Benefits

Torque Control: Ensures optimal operation and efficiency.
Higher G-force: Up to 3,574 G for superior separation.
Greater Centrate Clarity: Delivers clearer liquid phases.
Efficient Particle Separation: Removes fine particles effectively.
Special Bowl Geometry: Designed for optimal performance.
360° Solids Discharge Port: Facilitates efficient solids removal.
Online Inter-phase Adjustment: Allows for real-time optimization without mechanical adjustments.
Regulatory Compliance: Available in configurations meeting NEMA and ATEX standards.

Technical Specifications

Water Flow: 1 – 15 m3/h (4-66 GPM)
Oil Flow: 1 – 10 m3/h (4-44 GPM)
Solids Flow: 1 – 5 m3/h (4-22 GPM)
Maximum Speed: 3,650 rpm
Centrifugal Force: Up to 3,574 G
Differential Speed Range: 2-40 rpm
Solids Capacity: Up to 12 ton/h (26,000 lbs)
Main Power: 90 kW (125 Hp)
Backdrive Power: 15 kW (20 Hp)
Dry Weight: 5,000 kg (11,000 lbs)

Principle of Operation
The LYNX 35 operates with a cylindrical bowl and a conical end, rotating at high speeds to generate significant centrifugal force. A screw conveyor inside the bowl facilitates continuous solids removal. The feed enters through a stationary inlet tube, and solids sediment on the bowl wall due to centrifugal force. The screw conveyor moves solids to the conical end for discharge, while liquid phases are separated and discharged through level tubes.

LYNX - Drilling mud decanter - LYNX 35-1

Decanter centrifuge for cost-effective slop oil treatment LYNX 35 Optimizing slop oil treatment The Alfa Laval LYNX 35 decanter centrifuge is the preferred solution when selecting three-phase equipment for slop oil treatment. By using centrifugal force of more than 3,500 G, the LYNX 35 is able to separate high-density oil from water, and deliver liquids of a clarity never before available using decanter centrifuges. The availability of online inter-phase adjustment, with no need for mechanical components, makes it easy to optimize the quality of the separated oil and water phases. The combination of these high G-forces and Alfa Laval experience in the field of slop oil treatment make it possible for the LYNX 35 design to efficiently remove most of the fine particles and deliver the driest possible solids. Features and benefits • Torque control • Higher G-force • Greater centrate clarity • More efficient particle separation • Specially designed bowl geometry • 360° solids discharge port • Online inter-phase adjustment • Available in configurations that comply with NEMA and ATEX regulations.
