The Three Feeding System of the Vertical Cuttings Dryer

During waste management process, for oil-based mud, cutting dryer is the commonest equipment used to lower the oil content of drilling solids. Now the most popular cutting dryer in the Middle East and Venezuela is Swaco VERTI-G Dryer. KOSUN now can also manufacture premium vertical cutting dryer http://www.kosun.us/drilling-waste-management/vertical-centrifuge.html for drilling waste manage.

Feeding system of the vertical cuttings dryer has been a problem for the operators, normally there are several ways for feeding:

1.Vacuum unit or vacuum collection system for transportation of drilling cuttings:

Working together with diaphragm pump.

2.Screw Conveyor system:

Screw conveyor is composed of electric motor, gear box, screw or auger, bracket, coupler, feeding hopper, solids discharge port, cover, etc. They are often used horizontally or at a slight incline as an efficient way to move the drilling cuttings from solids control system.

3.Peristaltic pump

A peristaltic pump is a type of positive displacement pump used for pumping the drilling waste to the top hopper of the vertical cuttings dryer from the cuttings collection hopper.

The 3 ways of feeding system may be adopted to different conditions according to the jobsite situation. When there is enough place and enough financial support, you can choose vacuum unit together with 2 units of screw conveyor, one is installed horizontally and the other one is installed inclined. But for compact design, hose shear pump might be an ideal choice.

The KOSUN Vertical Cutting Dryer returns and recycles large percentages of SBM (Synthetic Base Mud) and OBM (Oil Base Mud) to an active system which in the past was lost as waste products to the environment. KOSUN Vertical Cutting Dryer can reduce total discharged OOC below 6%, which is currently the discharge limit in many areas of the world, in many areas of the world, our goal is 5% total OBM discharge to the environment, and our goal is not only to reach 5%,but also reduce the percentage further.
