Well drilling fluids mud cleaner functions

CBM exploration drilling mud cleaner is the integration of desander cone, desilter, and bottom shaker. It is 2nd and 3rd phase solids control equipment. Set behind shale shaker or vacuum degasser if there is, while ahead of decanter centrifuge.

Aipu Hunter series mud cleaner is a normal model of our company,we can design customized cost-effective mud cleaner for customers special needs.Our mud cleaner can meet almost all needs for oil & gas well drilling fluids treatment system and HDD Mud Recycling System.

Well drilling fluids mud cleaner operation

We know mud cleaners consisting many cyclones, to get solids removed by mud cleaner we must provide the power or transition device. Centrifugal pump is the device to pump drilling fluid between tank and cyclones. In oilfield solids control, drilling mud after separated by shaker will pass through shaker deck into shaker compartment.

Desander pump will transfer drilling fluid to hydrocyclone inlet for further separation. Under centrifugal force caused by pump pressure and high velocity, the heavier and larger particles will be separated out and sprayed off via drop in apex. The drilling mud discharged from hydrocyclone output will flow into desander compartment for further desilter separation. Desilter working principle is same with desander.

Considering both pipelines configuration and better performance in whole oilfield solids control system. It is strongly recommended we use 2 separated pumps for desander and desilter cones.

How to select mud cleaner

1. Mud flow: Mud cleaner mud flow is decided by desander & desilter size and qty. The desander cone normally choose 10 inch size and desilter cone choose 4 inch size. Once cone size is fixed, the mud flow will be fixed depending on cone qty.
2. Bottom shaker: The bottom shaker will work to dry solids out of desander & desilter cone nozzle. The larger shaker deck will help for dry product and smaller shaker deck will save cost.
3. Electrical standard: Different area may require different standard like IECEX, ATEX, UL, DGMS, etc. Before order any equipment, please confirm electrical standard.
4. Customized design: Cone size and qty can be customized design to reach different mud flow and performance.
