Working Principle of Centrifuge in Coal Washing Plant

1. Working Principle of Vertical Vibration Discharge Centrifuge

In general, the vertical and horizontal centrifuge structure is not different, the difference is mainly arranged in different ways, vertical is vertical. The working principle of vertical centrifuge is that the staff put the material into the machine through the funnel, pay attention to the distribution must be evenly when placed. When the machine is running, the material can be thrown into the cone of the sieve basket by centrifugal force at high speed. Among them, because its vibration is axial, its material also moves from top to bottom with the whole sieve surface, and then realizes the separation of solid and liquid. The separated liquid can be discharged through the sink. In addition, the vibration of the machine can keep the material loose  state, so that the overall dehydration effect is more obvious.

2. Working principle of Horizontal vibrating discharge centrifuge

In horizontal high-speed vibration dynamic discharge axial centrifuge, the material is mainly subjected to two axial centrifugal forces. One main force is the axial centrifugal force which rotates at high speed along the rotating direction of the inertia diameter of the vibrating animal material; the other is the centrifugal force which comes from the direction of the inertia axis of the vibrating material along the rotation direction of the material diameter. because the internal \915; centrifugal gravity of the material and the factor of its separation rate are usually much smaller compared with the centrifugal force factor of the material axis upward, the axial centrifugal force factor is negligible.

The direction and numerical value of the two vibrating inertial friction forces on the internal movement of the various materials to be processed can always change. The centrifugal force can C be divided into two forces, that is, Cp and Ct,. The inertial force of vibration can also be decomposed into JP and Jt.. If the result is greater than the friction between the input material and the sieve surface, the material will move outward, that is, the discharge.

3. Working principle of scraper discharge centrifuge

In general, scraper discharge centrifugal opportunities according to the distribution of sieve basket in which the distinction is horizontal and vertical. The operation principle of the machine is mainly through centrifugal force to achieve filtration, when the wet coal enters, it will reach between the sieve basket and the scraper of the screw, and then through centrifugal force, the centrifugal liquid is discharged through the whole material from the screen and into the sink, and finally out of the machine, the material that drains the water will remain inside the screen. But there is a certain speed difference between the sieve basket and the screw scraper, which makes the scraper can scrape out the coal particles and finally get the dry coal.

The spiral corner spacing on the scraper shaft refers to the angle between the trajectory of the centrifuge coal flow motion and the centrifuge sieve strip. at present, assuming that the measured value β=45~60°, the effective width of the sieve seam is determined to be Bβ=b/sinβ(where, b/snβ is the scraper pitch of the centrifuge). It can be seen that the correct selection of appropriate scraper pitch is very important for the dehydration of centrifuges [2]. moreover, the gap between the scraper and the sieve basket is required to be (2±1) mm, this gap can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the mat on the flange of the shaft or decrease the scraper.

How to Maintain the Decanter Centrifuge

Decanter centrifuge is a continuous operation of settling equipment. Choosing a suitable decanter centrifuge can not only solve the production problem and improve the working efficiency, but also save the production cost and reduce the operating risk. The following is to introduce the main points of maintenance and maintenance of decanter centrifuge.

1. for bag type coarse effect or medium effect filter, under normal use condition, general use 7-9 weeks should replace new.

2. for sub-efficient filters, under normal operating conditions, the general use of 5-6 months, should also be replaced.

3. all kinds of filters before the device, do not promise to open the bag or packaging film; and according to the packing box marked on the biased storage filter; in the handling process, should be light, light release, to prevent violent vibration and collision.

4. for high-efficiency filters, the device bias must be accurate: when using corrugated plate combination filter in vertical device, corrugated plate must be perpendicular to the ground; filter in vertical and frame connection, strictly prohibited leakage, deformation, breakage and leakage of glue, etc., after the device must be wrapped inside clean, free of dust, oil, rust and debris.

5. the high efficiency filter is installed, the arrow on the outer frame should be consistent with the airflow direction; when it is installed vertically, the filter paper crease direction should be perpendicular to the ground.

6. transport and storage of efficient filters shall be shelved in accordance with the direction of the factory signs. Lying screw centrifuge in the transport process, should be light to take light release, to prevent violent vibration and collision, do not allow rough loading and unloading.

7. the high efficiency filter must be unpacked at the installation site before installation for appearance inspection, including: filter paper, sealant and frame damage; side length, diagonal and thickness dimensions meet the requirements; frame with or without burrs and rust spots; with or without product certification, technical performance meets the design requirements. Then according to the standard “clean room construction and acceptance code” the method of inspection, qualified should be installed immediately.

8. the cleanliness level is equal to and higher than the high efficiency filter used in the clean room of class 100, the detected according to the method specified in the clean room construction and acceptance code before installation, and the required requirements shall be met.

Structure & Working Principle of Screw Conveyor

The screw conveyor uses the motor to drive the screw to rotate, moving the material to achieve horizontal, inclined or vertical transport, in the material movement direction of the end of the thrust bearing with the material to screw axial reaction, in the long time, the middle hanging bearing should be added.

Structure of the Screw Conveyor:

Screw conveyor in the form of conveying is divided into shaft screw conveyor and shaftless screw conveyor. Axial screw conveyor is composed of screw, U type material slot, cover plate, inlet, outlet and drive device. Axialless screw conveyor is changed to shaftless screw, and in U groove device has replaceable lining body, material is input by feed port and output by outlet after screw push, the whole transmission process can be carried out in a sealed slot.

Spiral blade welded on rotating shaft of screw conveyor, the surface type of blade according to the different conveying materials have solid surface type, belt surface type, one-sided type of blade.

Working Principle of Screw Conveyor:

When the screw shaft of the conveyor rotates, the material can only move forward along the bottom of the conveyor’s groove under the push of the blade because of the gravity of the material and the friction force generated with the groove wall, as if the nut that can not be rotated forward along the rotating screw. The movement of the material in the middle bearing depends on the thrust of the material moving forward behind it. This process needs continuous material feed into the screw conveyor from the inlet port.

In this regard, the delivery of materials in the screw conveyor, is a type of slip motion. In order to keep the screw shaft in a pull state, the drive device and the discharge port are generally placed at the same end of the conveyor to achieve this target, while the feed inlet port is placed as far as possible near the tail of the other end. The rotating screw blade carries the material through, so that the material does not rotate with the screw conveyor blade is the weight of the material itself and the friction resistance of the screw conveyor housing to the material.

GN produces screw conveyors of different capacities, ranging from 15 ton/h to 55 ton/h. At the same time, we can also produce the machine in a customized way to meet clients requirements.

A Simple Understanding of Centrifuge

Centrifuge is a very important instrument used in many fields of industry and chemistry. Its purpose is to achieve the separation of useful or non-material, to ensure that such separation can improve the utilization of substances, and many experiments can be carried out, and all of these benefits, that is, the invention of centrifuges to achieve the results, and people do meet their own application needs.

After finishing the basic introduction of the centrifuge, it is very necessary for us to know the working principle of the centrifuge, to understand, such an instrument is how to achieve separation work, which will help us a lot in using it in the future.

In fact, the working principle of the centrifuge is very simple, it is through the centrifuge inside the rotor through high speed operation, speed up the settlement between liquid and solid later to achieve separation, so this is very simple, but we need to pay attention to the force generated by this rotor, if not strong enough, still can not produce separation effect, so in the design, pay attention to the construction of this part.

Of course, when it comes to this application principle, that is, the natural phenomenon that we will often see in our daily life, and the use of instruments is to transform the natural phenomenon, and through the instrument to complete its separation, so this method is also feasible. It is important to know that the application of centrifuges in human society is indeed huge and vast, so it is useful and good to know such an instrument.

Daily Maintenance of Centrifuges

Centrifuge is an instrument for separating samples, which is widely used in biomedical, petrochemical, agriculture, food hygiene and other fields. It uses the difference of precipitation speed of different substances in centrifugal force field to realize the analysis and separation of samples. Since the advent of centrifuge, after the low speed, adjustment, overspeed changes, its progress is mainly reflected in centrifugal equipment and centrifugal technology, the two complement each other.

From the view of rotational speed, table centrifuge basically belongs to the category of low speed and high speed centrifuge, so it has the technical characteristics of low speed and high speed centrifuge, and its structure is mainly composed of motor drive system, refrigeration system, mechanical system, turning head and system control.  Part of the composition, compared to the floor centrifuge is only a little smaller size and capacity. The development of universal desktop centrifuge has blurred the boundary of low speed, high speed, micro and large capacity centrifuge large capacity centrifuges.

Maintenance of centrifuges

(1) After each use, be sure to clean the centrifuge cavity and rotor.

(2) Clean up the water in the centrifuge chamber in time. Centrifuge operation using compression mechanism cold, because the air contains moisture, in the centrifuge cavity frost into water. Most large-capacity centrifuges have no drainage holes, and more water is accumulated in the centrifuge cavity. At this time, the rotor should be removed to clean up the water. When reinstalling the rotor, be sure to install it to avoid accidents.

(3) There are rubber sealing rings in the contact between the upper part of the centrifuge chamber and the door cover, and in the contact between the rotor seat and the bottom of the centrifuge chamber, and any deformation should be observed frequently to prevent external heat infiltration, such as deformation or aging should be replaced in time.

(4) Check regularly whether the door cover pneumatic support rod and door lock switch can work properly.

(5) Check regularly whether the cooling fan is working properly; regularly remove dust from the centrifuge ventilation window and condenser to ensure the ventilation effect and the heat transfer effect of the condenser.

(6) Check the oxidation layer on the inside and outside surface of the rotor regularly, if there is peeling, corrosion, serious scratch, deformation or crack, it should be stopped in use. When the centrifuge is not in use for a long time, the rotor should be taken out and coated with antirust oil on the rotor seat and drive shaft to prevent the rotor seat and drive shaft from rusting.

Safety Management of Centrifuges

For the cause of centrifuge accident, in order to ensure the safety of centrifuge use, we should strengthen the following aspects of management.

Correct installation of centrifuges

(1) Power supply voltage. The voltage fluctuation should meet the industry standard within 10%, otherwise the centrifuge can not run normally. If the voltage fluctuation exceeds the industry standard, the voltage regulator should be used to meet the normal working needs of the instrument.

(2) Protection of grounding. The indoor should have independent ground wire, the ground wire should be reliably connected with the centrifuge shell, the ground resistance <4Ω, the ground wire can not be connected to the heating pipe, the water pipe, so as to avoid the occurrence of electric shock accident.

(3) Centrifuge placement. A suitable location should be selected according to the performance of the centrifuge, and the general low speed centrifuge (table) can be placed on a smooth, solid table (its base is equipped with rubber suction feet, with the help of atmospheric pressure and the weight of the instrument itself, close to the table); large capacity low speed centrifuge and high speed centrifuge should be placed on the corresponding solid ground, horizontal placement. Centrifuge weighing hundreds of kilograms, should be placed on a very solid ground, and equipped with dustproof, moisture-proof equipment. There is no strong vibration source near the centrifuge, avoid heat source and direct sunlight around, leave some space around, keep good ventilation.

(4) Host installation. Adjust the screw to support the machine foot to the ground, observe and adjust the screw through the level to make the main engine stable. Install the rotor, position the fastening, place the leveler in multiple parts of the rotor, adjust the screw until the leveler bubbles are all located in the center. Ensure that the 4 feet are balanced and the suspension is not allowed.

Common Malfunctions of Centrifuge and Methods of Centrifuge Maintenance and Treatment(1)

In the process of using the centrifuge, it is necessary to strictly follow the operating manual of the centrifuge model. This is certainly to be followed, but the machine, like people, occasionally appears “sick “, that is, machine failure. In the face of failure is their own roll up sleeves to start repair? Or call the repairman? Today, according to the practice experience of centrifuge maintenance, we have sorted out some common problems and methods of centrifuge maintenance.

  1. Oil pressure fault problem. This kind of fault mainly shows that there is no oil pressure, too low oil pressure or too high oil pressure. Its treatment is:

(1) No oil pressure. Check whether the oil filter is blocked, whether the pressure gauge is damaged, whether the tubing and joints are connected and loose, broken, and whether the tubing is unblocked.

(2) Oil pressure is too low. The normal outlet oil pressure of the centrifuge in this coal preparation plant is 3.0~3.5 bar, If the oil pressure is too low, check whether the suction pipe from the oil pump passing through the filter to the oil tank is unblocked; check whether the oil line is leaking; check whether the coupling between the motor and the oil pump shaft is damaged, otherwise replace the coupling; whether the oil pump is damaged, otherwise replace the oil pump.

(3) Excessive oil pressure. When the oil pressure of the centrifuge is too high, check whether to add appropriate mechanical oil to the tank according to the requirements of the equipment usage instructions; check whether each pipeline is blocked, if there is a blockage problem, use compressed air to clean the sundries in the pipeline.

B. Excessive vibration fault. The problems of excessive vibration during the operation of the centrifuge are mostly caused by incorrect installation, blocking deformation of the sieve basket, blocking of the coal channel between the sieve basket and the scraper, and loosening of the bolts. The solutions are as follows: check whether the sieve basket is blocked, worn out or deformed; check whether the spring of the vibrator is aged; check whether there is a fine coal accumulation on one side of the sieve basket; check whether the wedge sieve basket is damaged, deformed or unbalanced; check whether the anchor bolt is corroded and firm; check whether the bearing is damaged and replace the bearing if it is damaged; if the new vibrating motor is replaced, check whether it is consistent with the load of the replaced motor.  And to match the other side of the motor, the two motors should be assembled the same.

Wastewater Treatment

With the accelerated development of society, the sewage wastewater discharged through food, chemical and other industries can be seen everywhere, the national government has also issued corresponding targets for sewage treatment, and for the way of sewage treatment, it needs physical, biological and chemical treatment to remove impurities. Now, the common solution to this problem is to separate sewage and waste residue through decanter centrifuge, in the process of biological and chemical auxiliary treatment, and then through the continuous circulation of centrifuge equipment after the sewage can be turned into available water resources.

The use of decanter centrifuges to treat sewage problems mainly goes through the following stages:

Stage 1: Screening and preprocessing

Because many waste water because of external reasons, there will be too many solid waste inside, such as some common garbage items, cosmetics, sanitary products, rags, plastic products, stone particles and so on. And in order to avoid damage to separation equipment, we have to filter out the waste in the wastewater, do this step is very important.

Phase II: Physical/Chemical treatment

This stage can remove a lot of solid impurities, it is necessary to use decanter centrifuge equipment, but in this process to the treatment of waste water to add a certain amount of coagulant or polymer and other chemical agents, to the sewage of small particle impurities to polymer, so as to facilitate decanter centrifuge equipment for solid-liquid separation treatment, if the sewage contains oil, oil and water separation can be carried out after re-separation treatment.

Phase III: Biological treatment

This stage is the final stage, starting with the adjustment of sewage through physical filters, such as sand filters, to remove residual organic and inorganic pollutant particles in the water. The second is sterilization, which can be used to sterilize water quality by ultraviolet light or chlorination.

It can be seen from the above steps that the cost of treating wastewater into available water resources is high, and it is very tedious at the same time. Liaoning Fuyi production of decanter centrifuge can do continuous operation processing, and can be different material separation requirements to develop appropriate centrifuge equipment, if there are other details need to know, can be at any time at any time.

Drilling Mud Curing Treatment

In recent years, with the increasing environmental pollution, the state pays more and more attention to environmental protection. Especially this year, the special action of environmental protection swept across the country, in order to let enterprises attach importance to environmental protection, so that enterprises in the process of production to achieve the purpose of energy conservation and environmental protection. For the construction engineering industry, the drilling cast-in-place pile mud treatment is an urgent need to solve the environmental protection point, mud discharge absorption point on the surrounding environment is also huge, so not to solve this problem, the construction industry will also face the risk of closure and regulation.

In the past, the mud discharged by bored piles was transported to the designated absorption site through mud tankers. The mud sedimentation tank is set up in the absorption yard. After three stages of sedimentation, the digger digs out the sediment and transports it to the evaporation tank. After natural dehydration and solidification, it is transported to the site as subgrade filler, earth backfill or local backfill waste soil.

Mud curing treatment

In the process of precipitation and evaporation, occupying a large area of the site will cause certain damage to the surrounding ecology. The sewage discharge after sedimentation and the landfill of waste soil caused some damage to the surrounding environment. If the harmful substances in the mud are buried on the spot, it is easy to cause pollution and damage to the surrounding groundwater sources.

Because of the damage of mud and environmental protection special activities, our project has introduced the mud curing dehydration treatment equipment. The mud curing equipment we introduced is “potion” curing, the moisture content of the mud block after dewatering is controlled at about 20%, which can reach the condition of earth-moving out; the water used for the construction of bored cast-in-place piles can be recycled through dehydration equipment, and the water use rate is up to 95%; the mud curing field is digested to reduce the pollution of the surrounding environment.

Slurry curing process

The main parts of the treatment process of mud curing treatment equipment are: liquid mixer, mud curing reaction tank, mud curing filter press, mud pressure filtration water collection system. First, the liquid is mixed into the liquid mixer to stir, and then the curing agent is prepared, and then a branch pipe is set up on the input pipe of the mud curing reaction tank, and the curing liquid mixer is connected, and the proportion of the mud mixing liquid is controlled by the liquid flow rate and the mud flow rate. After mixing the appropriate proportion of liquid slurry into the curing reaction tank, it is pressurized and transported to the mud curing filter press, and the water in the mud is removed by physical and mechanical extrusion.

Function of the Drilling Mud

4. Cooling and lubrication
When drilling, the drill bit has been rotating and breaking rock strata at high temperature, producing a lot of heat; the drilling tool also continuously friction with the shaft wall to produce heat. Through the circulation of drilling fluid, the heat is taken away in time, which can play the role of cooling bit, drilling tool and prolonging its service life. Because of the existence of drilling fluid, the drill bit and drilling tool are rotated in the liquid, so the friction resistance is greatly reduced, which plays a good lubricating role.
5. Transfer of hydrodynamics
The drilling fluid is ejected at a very high flow rate at the drill nozzle, and the high speed jet produced a strong impact on the bottom of the well, thus improving the drilling speed and rock breaking efficiency. High pressure jet drilling is to use this principle, significantly improve the mechanical drilling speed. When drilling with turbine drilling tools, the drilling fluid flows through the turbine blade at a higher flow rate from the drill pipe, making the turbine rotate and driving the bit to break the rock.
6. Access to underground information
Through the change of rock debris and drilling fluid performance to obtain all kinds of underground information for drilling construction to provide the basis for the formulation of technical measures.
In addition, in order to prevent and minimize damage to oil and gas reservoirs, modern drilling technology also requires that drilling fluid must be compatible with the oil and gas reservoirs encountered by drilling to meet the requirements of protecting Shantou gas reservoirs; in order to meet geological requirements, the drilling fluid used must be conducive to formation testing without affecting formation evaluation; drilling fluid should also be free from injury and pollution to drilling personnel and the environment, small corrosion to downhole tools and surface equipment or minimize corrosion.
Generally, the drilling fluid cost only accounts for 7%~10% of the total drilling cost. However, the advanced drilling fluid technology can often save drilling time twice, thus greatly reducing the drilling cost and bringing considerable economic benefits.
