Just like thread is woven together to create cloth, metal wire can be woven to create a metal cloth.
Shaker screen mesh has evolved over many years of competitive screen manufacturing resulting in very thin yet strong cloth designed to maximize screen life and conductance as well as to provide a consistent cut point.
We often see the mud gun installed inside the mud tank in the drilling mud solids control system.
One of the more recent advances in oilfield shaker screen technology has brought us the "3D screen", this technology is an innovative method for increasing the screening area of a shale shaker without the need to build larger machines. When seen from the side these screens look like corrugated cardboard, having a flat bottom and wave like shapes on top.
The main types of decanter centrifuge are the vertical orientation, horizontal orientation and Conveyor/Scroll.
Decanter centrifuge is used to separate (dewater) solid materials from liquids in solids control system when they are mixed together in mud. Besides, decanter centrifuge is applied in many industries such as:
1. Solids separation (oil well drilling, refining, de-watering)
2. Industrial and biological wastewater treatment
3. Food processing (olive oil, wine, fruit juice)
The decanter centrifuge has been widely applied in drilling fluids solids control system. Due to the high rotation speed provided by decanter centrifuge, if any abnormal situation happed in use, stop running and check for solution immediately.
Solutions to common problems of decanter centrifuge:
Problem 1: excessive vibration of decanter centrifuge.
Reasons and solutions:
How do we avoid decanter centrifuge stoppages as much as possible? Among drilling mud solids control equipment, it plays a key role in solids control system.
1. Minimize the need for gears or belts to drive the centrifuge.
2. Control and maintain speed during the decanting process.
3. Develop high torque at very low speeds.
Centrifuge operator can follow below steps to find out the most suitable bowl speed, conveyer speed and pump feeding flow for decanter centrifuge in specified jobsite:
Step 1: Find out the most suitable bowl speed of VFD decanter centrifuge:
Submersible Slurry Pump is with structure of vertical single stage and single suction system overhung centrifugal pump, it is made of abrasion-resistant alloy, it can transfer medium with high concentration particle. The normal submersible length is 1.3m/1.5m, customized length is available.
Ways to Install Planet-Cycloid Retarder of Cuttings Dryer
1. Steel or cast iron pads are applicable for retarder calibration, usually three pads are enough. Carved iron is another choice, but flat pad should replace it after calibration.
2. Water-based drilling fluids should irrigate intensively without any bubbles, gaps or other failures.
3. Choose GB1568-79 to match output and input shaft diameters.
