Hi-G dryer http://www.kosun.us/drilling-waste-management/hi-g-dryer.html is also can be used for oil based mud drilling waste treatment; vice versa, vertical cuttings dryer can also be used for water based mud drilling cuttings management. Based on this, KOSUN design it’s vertical centrifuge which can be used for both WBM and OBM drilling waste treatment.
The major benefit of the Hi G dryer technology, sometimes overlooked, is the elimination of whole mud losses from the shaker. This historically has ensured that the shakers were never run at their optimum capacity and thus the solids control system efficiency was adversely affected. Incorporating the Hi G dryer down steam allows the shakers to be run close to maximum capacity without the concern of whole mud losses.
The Hi-G Dryer has been proved to be extremely effective in recovering the oil-based mud cuttings. It is a kind of shale shaker mainly used for drying the drilled solids. The feeder installed on such hi-g dryer is a little different from normal shale shaker, so as to achieve the best efficiency.
Hi-G dryer independently developed and manufactured by KOSUN features in high G-force (adjustable), and superior screening and drying effect. The screen frame tilt angle can be adjusted from -1° to +5° via AWD angle adjustment system while drilling. The liquid content in cuttings after treatment can drop to below 10%, significantly reducing drilling waste discharge cost.
