CD-500 Centrifuge
The M-I SWACO* CD-500* centrifuge is the newest high-

volume, high-speed decanting centrifuge for drilling-mud and
fluids-management applications. In recent testing, its large size
and powerful, variable-speed motor allowed it to process up to
200 GPM (757.1 L/min) of 9-lb/gal (1.1-kg/L) fluid at a D90 cut
point of 8 to 12 microns. It commonly delivers high fluid-recovery
rates and efficient solids control that significantly reduce the

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The PLC makes and
monitors speed adjustments and may be housed within an
explosion-proof enclosure. RPM readouts of the conveyor and
bowl are displayed at the control panel.
Tungsten-carbide scroll points. Tungsten-carbide hardfaced
points at the tapered end of the scroll protect the conveyor
against wear.
Specially designed, widely spaced flights. Conveyor pitch in
the conical section is designed to reduce plugging and promote
maximum solids removal at high-differential speeds.
Stainless steel components. The stainless steel bowl, scroll, com-
partment and cover resist corrosion and provide long service life.
Operating safety controls. Safety features include self-limiting
vibration and torque switches to protect against catastrophic
failure known to occur in other “high-speed” centrifuges.
Drive options. The centrifuge can be supplied with a number
of drives: standard electric, PLC-controlled, variable-frequency
drive, hydraulic drive or MAGNADRIVE*.
Mounting options. For tight-fitting offshore installations,
the centrifuge can be supplied with a pedestal mount. For
land applications, the low-mount design allows for a simple
centrifuge stand with one set of handrails.
Benefits
• Provides precise control over the separation process to
accommodate variations in solids loading and material
sizes; can be regulated to produce cleaner effluent.
• Automatic PLC monitoring and adjustment compensates
for varied drilling conditions, while reducing operator
involvement and effort.
• Reduces solids packoff.
• Rugged construction and corrosion-resistant materials provide
long service life and low maintenance costs in the toughest
oilfield environments.
• Works efficiently with other M-I SWACO equipment to
maximize solids control.
How It Works
The heart of the M-I SWACO CD-500 centrifuge is its high-
speed, precision-balanced rotating stainless steel bowl. Inside
the bowl, a single-lead spiral-screw conveyor rotates in the same
direction as the bowl but at higher RPM.
Feed slurry enters through a hollow axle at the narrow end
and is distributed to the bowl. Centrifugal force as high as
379 G’s at 1,200 RPM (or 2,066 G’s at 2,800 RPM) holds the slurry
against the bowl wall in a “pool.” Trapped silt and sand-sized
particles settle and spread against the bowl wall where they are
scraped and conveyed to the solids underflow discharge ports
by the tungsten-carbide-tipped scroll flights on the conveyor.
Silt and sand particles exit damp, but with no free liquid.
The cleaned fluid is discharged through weirs that regulate the
pool depth.
