Application of KOSUN Vertical Cuttings Dryer Used in Drilling Waste Management

Drilling waste management http://www.kosun.us/drilling-waste-management/ is to treat and recover the solid phase generated during drilling process to finally meet environment protection and discharge standards in countries and regions locally. It can meet the requirement of non-landing treatment of drilling mud, effectively prevent environmental pollution, save drilling mud and reduce drilling cost. At present, there are many drilling waste management methods and devices with different treatment effects. View from the drilling situations of various drilling site at home and abroad, the most important and commonly used drilling waste management devices are vertical centrifuge and hi-g dryer.

Features and Benefits of Vertical Centrifuge

1. Highly effective liquids /solids separation minimizes fluids content of cuttings, reduce waste-disposal volumes.

2. Effective separation reclaim high percentages of fluids that can be reused in the active mud system, recovers whole mud lost from shaker failure ,rig motion and screen blinding.

3. Normal wear parts are easily accessible from the top of the unit; belt are easily changed without removing assembly

4. Interchangeable tungsten-carbide rotor blades product rotor and gear box from excessive erosion, minimizing main components failure.

Vertical centrifuge can effectively treat the water-based, oil-based, and synthetic-based drilling mud, generate very dry drilling cuttings, reduce the discharge volume of drilling cuttings and recover precious drilling mud, so as to improve comprehensive drilling cost-effectiveness. The vertical centrifuge independently developed and manufactured by KOSUN features with mature performance, including super strong separation ability. With top feeding mode and built-in high speed centrifugal drum, it can achieve the maximum handling capacity of 60T/h, and the OOC of drilling cuttings treatment is lower than 5%. The liquid phase can also be recovered after being treated by the centrifuge at the next level. In such way, waste pollution caused by oil-based drilling mud can be satisfactorily solved, and oil-based or synthetic-based drilling mud can be saved.
