GN Separation is thrilled to announce the timely and successful delivery of four sets of Mini Decanter Centrifuges to a European client. These centrifuges are intended for solids-liquid separation in the context of mineral exploration mud treatment, representing another significant achievement for GN in providing compact yet highly efficient separation solutions to the global market.

Product Features and Benefits
GN's Mini Decanter Centrifuge is tailored for small-scale and pilot-scale operations, while still retaining the core benefits of full-sized decanter centrifuges. Leveraging high-speed centrifugal force, this equipment can continuously separate fine solids from drilling mud. This process reduces the solids content in the liquid phase, enabling the reuse or further treatment of the clarified fluid. Additionally, the separated solids become easier to handle, transport, or dispose of, thereby greatly enhancing overall site efficiency.
For this particular project, the four centrifuge units were delivered as compact and modular packages. This design facilitates easy transportation, installation, and integration into the customer's existing process flow. The skid-mounted construction minimizes the need for on-site civil engineering work, making the system ideal for temporary or mobile exploration sites. Despite their compact size, these units are engineered to deliver stable performance, low vibration, and reliable operation even under continuous duty conditions.
Another notable advantage of GN's mini decanter centrifuges is their operational flexibility. The adjustable bowl speed and differential speed enable the equipment to adapt to variations in slurry density, particle size distribution, and flow rate—common issues encountered in exploration drilling mud treatment. The robust mechanical design, coupled with the use of wear-resistant materials for critical components, ensures a long service life and reduces maintenance requirements.
Project Execution and Quality Assurance
Throughout the project, GN's technical and project teams collaborated closely with the customer to gain a thorough understanding of the application requirements and operating conditions. Based on this information, the equipment configuration was optimized to ensure reliable separation performance while maintaining energy efficiency. Before shipment, all units underwent rigorous inspection and test runs to verify their mechanical integrity and operational stability.
Broader Implications and Future Commitments
The successful delivery of these four mini decanter centrifuges to Europe further underscores GN Solids Control's ability to provide customized solids control and separation solutions across a diverse range of industries, including mining, exploration drilling, environmental protection, and industrial wastewater treatment. As the global demand for compact, efficient, and environmentally friendly separation technologies continues to rise, GN remains dedicated to continuous innovation and customer-centric engineering.

Looking ahead, GN Separation is committed to supporting customers worldwide with reliable equipment, professional technical assistance, and proven solutions for solids-liquid separation challenges in both large-scale and specialized applications.
