LYNX 40 Decanter centrifuge for solids control Applications For drill solids removal, high-speed separation, barite recovery, system de-weighting and ultrafines removal. Optimizing drilling fluids The Alfa Laval decanter centrifuge is a key component in a top-quality solids control process. This efficiently removes most of the fine particles that traditional solids control equipment cannot catch. Built for heavy-duty jobs, the Alfa Laval decanter handles large amounts of feed solids as well as being able to cope with abrasive and coarse particles. The Alfa Laval drilling fluids decanter is available with a range of modules suited for every decanter job on a drilling rig. These range from from fully automated modules to simple "hands-on" modules, providing effective solutions to your solids control separation problems. Take advantage of the LYNX technology • Torque control • Greater solids recovery • Higher G-Force • Increased centrate clarity • More efficient particle separation • Specially designed bowl geometry • Various power pack designs to suit the operation • Reduced waste volumes • A 360-degree solids outlet completes the concept

PEE00071EN Dimensions Principle of operation Alfa Laval’s LYNX 40 has a decanter centrifuge which features a slender cylindrical/conical bowl with a relatively large length/diameter ratio. The screw conveyor, which is fitted inside the bowl, enables the continuous removal of separated solids. Typical bowl speeds are up to 3650 rpm where the "G" force is designed to anywhere from 300 to 3574 G. Process liquid is fed into the cylindrical section, where it forms a layer - the pond - around the wall. The thickness of this layer is established by a series of discharge weirs at the 1) Main...
