Oilfield drilling mud cleaner

In oilfield solids control system,shale shaker is used to separate the big solids with diameter above 75μm, and 45~74μm for desander, and 15~44μm for desilter. Drilling mud desander and mud desilter are combined as mud cleaner.Drilling mud cleaner is called 2nd and 3rd phase solids control equipments.

Oilfield Mud Cleaner

Oilfield drilling mud cleaner

Oilfield drilling mud cleaner is a combination of desander and desilter. Drilling mud is fed to the inlet of the desander hydrocyclone and desilter hydrocyclone to separate particles and the underflow passes to the fine screen mesh where in particles larger than barite are discarded and thrown away. In most drilling operation, mud cleaner is installed in its oilfield solids control system. Oilfield mud cleaner is usually located in mud tank.

Drilling mud cleaner handle the solids particle after being processed by the shale shaker.The purpose of the drilling mud cleaner is to remove drilled solids larger than barite. Solids larger than 74-105 micrometers can be removed by the mud cleaner before the viscosity builds up. Mud cleaner can effectively control weighted drilling fluid solid content. Prevent differential pressure sticking, adhesion stuck drill accident, reduce the drill string and the filter cake thichness on bond issues.

Oilfield drilling mud cleaner History

Although US Patent No.3,766,997 covering mud cleaner was issued on October 23, 1973 granted to J.K. Heilhecker and L.H. Robinson and assigned to Exxon Production Research Company, it was found invalid and efforts for re-issue was unsuccessful because of the existence of prior art filed at the British Patent Office by a German Inventor in the late 1800s.

Nowadays, mud cleaner used in oilfield solids control system means the equipment processing drilling mud. Oilfield mud cleaner is combined with desander hydrocyclone and desilter hydrocyclone as well as bottom shale shaker.

KOSUN drilling mud cleaner

Oilfield Drilling Mud Cleaner

KOSUN MD Series drilling mud cleaner can be provided with 380V / 50Hz or 460V / 60Hz; generate a noise level less than 80 decibels (dB); and are fitted with an adjustable deck capable of inclinations of -2 to +5 degrees. KOSUN oilfield mud cleaner can be used alone, and its screen can be combined with the first stage solid control equipment as a parallel standby shale shaker.KOSUN supply drilling mud cleaner for no dig and piling, also for TBM, mining slurry separation system, dredging slurry separation system, horizontal directional drilling mud cleaning system, etc. KOSUN mud cleaning system have been widely used in Australia America, Southeast Asia, more than 30 countries all over the world.

Except oilfield mud cleaner,KOSUN can also supply oilfield drilling shale shaker,oilfield drilling decanter centrifuge,oilfield drilling mud desander,oilfield drilling mud desilter,etc.
