Mud cleaner for the drilling mud solid control system of several major parts

Compared with the independent desander and desilter, mud cleaner has much higher working efficiency. Same as the shale shaker in function, the equipment is designed rationally with compact structure, small volume and powerful performance.

As one of the important equipment for solid/liquid separation system, the drilling mud cleaner, also called desander and desilter assembly, mainly consists of three parts including desander, desilter and the underflow screen. It can achieve separation of two stage with the hydrocyclones mounted over the shale shaker.

Mud cleaner is a combination of desanders and/or desilters mounted over a shaker with a fine mesh screen. A mud is fed to the inlet of the hydrocyclone (desander and/or desilter) to separate particles and the underflow passes to the fine screen mesh where particles larger than barite are discarded and thrown away. In most drilling operations, a mud cleaner is installed in its mud system. It is usually located in a mud tank in the same location with the desilter.

The purpose of the mud cleaner is to remove drilled solids larger than barite. Solids between 74-105μm can be removed by the mud cleaner before the viscosity builds up. Mud cleaner can effectively control weighted drilling fluids solid content. It can also prevent sticking caused by differential pressure.

The hydrocyclone of the desander and desilter is made of 100% PU and its number is set according to the needs of customers. With the hydrocyclone for desilter of clamp type and stainless steel ball valve available, the product can be maintained easily. KOSUN Mud Cleaner can dry solids so it can be matched with our own advanced shale shaker. Meanwhile, the wedged type shaker screen allows people to change fast screen.
