Oilfield Decanter Centrifuge is a high-speed solid-liquid separation system used in drilling fluid management and oilfield waste treatment. It is designed to remove ultra-fine solids (2–7 microns) from drilling fluids, ensuring optimal fluid performance, reduced waste, and improved drilling efficiency.
At KTK Energy Limited, our decanter centrifuges are engineered to meet API standards and deliver stable performance in demanding environments such as onshore drilling, offshore rigs, refinery processing, and environmental treatment projects.
As drilling operations move toward deeper wells and more complex formations, efficient solids control becomes critical. KTK Energy centrifuges provide continuous operation, high separation efficiency, and robust mechanical reliability, helping operators reduce non-productive time (NPT) and optimize overall drilling performance.
