Mineral exploration drilling

Alfa Laval Lynx centrifugal decanter systems are made for waste and drill fluid handling. They efficiently remove solid particles from water resulting in cleaner drill fluid for recirculation use and easier handling of the drill cuttings/waste. It also reduces chemical usage as well as drill waste and site, which contributes to lower disposal costs. Normally installed in a bypass system, the compact Lynx centrifugal decanters operate continuously without interrupting drilling operations.

The range can handle waste flow rates from 5 m3/hour up to 100 m3/hour. The variable bowl speed ensures the right G force required for the most efficient separation while the conveying speed can be adjusted for optimal balance between liquid clarity and solids dryness. The adjustable pond depth also contributes to the best balance between clarity and dryness.
