CD 518 HV VFD
High Volume - Performance Centrifuge
APPLICATIONS
Global drilling projects where
the best efficient fluids/solids
separation is required. CD518
HV VFD is also designed for bar-
ite recovery and dewatering.
PROBLEMS
Big volume to process, strong
environmental conditions and
best solids removal or barite
recovery.
SOLUTIONS
M-I SWACO CD518 HV VFD has
to be your choose in order to
assist at best drilling operations
in a unique footprint unit.
ECONOMICS
By producing drier solids CD 518
HV VFD reduce the cuttings vol-
ume decreasing the total
amount of waste and the associ-
ated costs. In addition an effi-
cient separation minimize the
loss of the expensive mud fluid.
ENVIROMENTALS
An efficient separation is not
only better under an economical
point of view but it is preferable
for the environmental preserva-
tion too.
Unit Descriptions
The CD 518 HV VFD (High Volume,
Variable frequency Drive) over-
comes the problem of the CD 518
HV that can’t vary the velocity dur-
ing the operation changing the
supply motors frequencies. It dif-
fers from the fix drive model only
for the absence of the control
panel being the electric circuits
placed inside the VFD module. This
centrifuge develops greater per-
formance than two standard units
combined since it increases proc-
essing capacity and refines solids
separation. Respect to the prece-
dent version (CD 518 STD) this
centrifuge is leaded by two bigger
motors and the conveyor design is
improved in order to facilitate the
motion of the increased mud flow
(from radial configuration to quasi
axial flow).
The solids removal efficiency is
guaranteed by a VFD (Variable
Frequency Drive) module and
speeds adjustments are feasible
for bowl, differential and feed
pump. A PLC (Programmable Logic
Controller) provides the command
of the process both in automatic
or manual mode in addition at the
control of all the working parame-
ters (temperature, speed, current,
vibration...).
