This document contains data from tests of two centrifuges, the HS-5500 and HS-2172, on their ability to separate oil, water, and solids from drilling mud. The HS-2172 was able to handle more volume at 274 gallons per minute and removed solids more effectively than the HS-5500. Metrics like density, oil/water/solid percentages, and micron sizes are provided for the feed, effluent, and solids streams for each test.

LOCATION: Calcasieu The mud weights of the two HS-2172 tests were the same WELL NAME: State Lease 15865# because the 274 gallon per minute (GPM) test was run Summary immediately after collecting the data for the 180 GPM test. The HS-2172 handled more volume and did a better job of removing solids. * = Specific gravity 496902425.xls
