📉 Process Parameters
wt%
Typical: 5-15% for classification, 1-5% for desilting
μm
Desanding: 74μm | Desilting: 15-44μm | Fine class: 5-15μm
⚗ Slurry Properties
SG
Sand: 2.65 | Barite: 4.2 | Iron ore: 4.5-5.0 | Uranium: 3.0-4.0
SG
Water: 1.00 | Drilling mud: 1.05-1.20 | Brine: 1.03-1.2
cP
Water: 1.0 cP | Light mud: 3-8 cP | Heavy mud: 15-30 cP
⏱ Operating Conditions
Typical: 20-75 PSI. Higher pressure = finer cut.
