Barkeeper: Centrifugal Separation Module

Posted by Irina Tabakina

The Barkeeper is a patent pending centrifugal separator designed to process weighted drilling fluids at the highest possible rates and with maximum efficiency. The Barkeeper recovers as much as 100% of the barite in weighted drilling fluids. The barite is returned to the active mud system, while decanting centrifuges can be used to discard the low gravity drill solids. A dual gradient, deep water drilling system based on dilution of riser mud requires economically separating the riser mud into a low density dilution fluid and a higher density drilling fluid. The Barkeeper can be used in combination with 250 GPM/ 925 LPM modules to achieve economical separation of the mud into low density and high density streams with superior rheological properties compared to centrifuges.
