A centrifuge provides effective separation of solid particles from fluids resulting in higher rates of penetration, increased drilling fluid life, reduced formation damage and lower drilling fluid and waste disposal costs due to efficient recycling rates. The video below provides a visual example of how a centrifuge works.
