KOSUN Decanter Centrifuge Efficiently Removes Undesirable Solids

A KOSUN drilling mud decanter centrifuge efficiently removes undesirable solids from drilling mud in crude oil extraction. KOSUN drilling mud decanter centrifuges are designed specifically to remove unwanted solids and fine particles from virtually all kinds of used drilling mud, including those based on water/synthetics and conventional oil-based drilling fluids. Built for heavy-duty processing, a KOSUN installation handles large quantities of solids in the feed flow, as well as being able to cope with coarse, abrasive particles. It also efficiently removes the vast majority of fine particles, down to sizes of around 5 microns. Traditional equipment is unable to deal with these particles, which have a serious impact on the quality of drilling mud because of their abrasive effect. The KOSU

What is the desilter and desander

Desilter and desander are used to process large volumes of drilling fluid to remove abrasive sands and silts that shale shakers cannot remove. KOSUN desilting and desanding hydrocyclones are made from high density abrasion resistant polyurethane. The unique internal manifold design minimises the back pressure on the hydrocyclones maximising the solids removal. Fine tuning is achieved through adjustable orifice openings at the discharge point on the cone. Both desilter and desander are available in a large range of configurations including stand alone, over a shaker as a mud cleaner or packaged with a supply pump as a mobile desilting unit. Please contact your nearest KOSUN office to discuss applications and appropriate technical specifications. KOSUN is a leader in Chinas solids control in

Common Ways to Adjust Water-based Mud Density

READ: Water-based mud is a generic term of versatile circulating liquids satisfying different drilling requirements in exploration efforts. It is proper to apply solids control system against harmful solids and to get down nud density by input of additives or lower-density mud from identical system, etc. Water-based mud is a generic term of versatile circulating liquids satisfying different drilling requirements in exploration efforts. It plays a leading role in actual oil drilling operations. In terms of composition, it is a multi-phase dispersed system including bentonite, additives, weighting materials, brine and drill cuttings. In terms of fluid media, it is a drilling fluids with water as continuous fluid media. Water -based mud extends to deep well drilling mud, dispersed drilling mu

Advantages of Three-in-one Mud Cleaner

READ: Three-in-one mud cleaner, a combination of desander, desilter and high efficient shale shaker, can further separate the smaller solid particles left in the mud after primary treatment in shale shaker for a better treatment in the following equipment. I. Description of Three-in-one Mud Cleaners Functions: Three-in-one mud cleaner, a combination of desander, desilter and high efficient shale shaker, can further separate the smaller solid particles left in the mud after primary treatment in shale shaker for a better treatment in the following equipment. MD Mud Cleaner can serve as independent equipment, or as spare equipment in parallel with first-stage solids control equipment–shale shaker by mere application of its underflow shaker. Drilling fluids enters from the mud compartment und

How to Do Daily Maintenance on Vacuum Degasser?

READ: It is necessary to install a vacuum degasser for their removal from the drilling fluids since the invading gases may impact mud properties, cause safety risks and affect the lifespan of some equipment. Vacuum degasser has found wide application in drilling fluids circulating system. It is necessary to install a vacuum degasser for their removal from the drilling fluids since the invading gases may impact mud properties, cause safety risks and affect the lifespan of some equipment. Vacuum degasser has found wide application in drilling fluids circulating system, forcing the gases(such as, CH4, H2S, etc.) out of entrained drilling fluids(mud) so that mud properties(including density, viscosity) are well preserved. Techniques to Extend Lifespan of Vacuum Degasser: 1. When the vaccum deg

Functions of Mud Agitator in Solids Control System

READ: KOSUN WNJ Drilling Mud Agitator, as a tank equipment in solids control system consisted of reducer and explosion-proof electric motor, has got dominant application in mud mixing and concoction. It is easy to keep up, and suitable to operate in terrible outdoor working conditions. KOSUN WNJ Drilling Mud Agitator, as a tank equipment in solids control system consisted of reducer and explosion-proof electric motor, has got dominant application in mud mixing and concoction. It is easy to keep up, and suitable to operate in terrible outdoor working conditions. Its large agitating strength can extend to a large scale of drilling fluids and greatly reduce resisting moments when it starts. Drilling mud agitator is mainly consisted of explosion-proof electric motor, reducer, base and impeller

Solids Control Equipment to Complete Mud Circulation

READ: Fluid circulating system has been frequently mentioned in previous passages surrounding solids control technology, and are to be more illustrated in this one. The circulaing process is completed when the drilling fluids circulates through hydrocyclone desander, mud desilter, vacuum degasser and decanter centrifuge, through the discharge manifold in solids control module to mud pump, through its water lines into the centrifugal pump. It is known that drilling processes are: fluid-purification process, fluid circulating process, mud dosing process, mud concocting process, mud weighting process, automatic irrigating process, etc. Amongst them, fluid circulating system has been frequently mentioned in previous passages surrounding solids control technology, and are to be more illustrated
