KOSUN can Achieve the Zero Discharge of Drilling Waste

Drilling waste management and zero discharge is a getting much popular recent years. It is important to get zero discharge on drilling waste management. Many EPC company wanna source professional equipment and professional personnel on the potential projects with large profit.  It is said that the drilling waste market capacity can reach 17 billion before 2018.

What is “zero discharge of drilling waste”?
The conception “zero discharge of drilling waste” is generated relative to traditional drilling waste management mode. During the traditional drilling process, waste pit is built at the drilling site for drilling waste management. That is, drilling waste is discharged to the waste pit at ground level for next-stage treatment, or even directly buried. This traditional discharge mode causes serious pollution and great harm to the environment and human life; therefore, State Environmental Protection Administration of China made a formal legislation in January 2015 to put forward stricter requirements and standards for drilling waste management. The conception “zero discharge of drilling mud” emerges at the right moment. Some people also call it “zero discharge of drilling cuttings”.

How to achieve “zero discharge of drilling waste”?
In view of the above situation, the chief engineer Mr. Zhang, the principal of Xi’an Oil and Gas Drilling Waste Management Engineering Research Center, told us that there are many effective drilling waste management methods at present, including Hi-G dryer shaker, solidification, thermal desorption, cuttings dryer system as well as WBM dewatering method, etc.

Above are main drilling waste management methods at home and abroad. The most common “zero discharge of drilling waste” management modes are management while drilling and centralized management. For detailed process of various management modes previously described, please consult the Xi’an Oil and Gas Drilling Waste Management Engineering Research Center of KOSUN.

KOSUN DWM Solids Control launched a relative solution by the integration of domestic,and foreign drilling waste management experience and methods as well as the consideration of drilling waste production process.Drilling waste dry-off is to treat drilling waste by special equipment for dry-off and effectively reduce oil and water content in drilling waste,The key equipment commonly used for drilling waste dry-off is Cuttings Dryer and Hi-G dryer. Thus meeting statutory drilling waste discharge standards.
