Well Drilling Mud Cleaner APCN Desilter As Solids Control Equipment

Application of drilling mud cleaner desilter

APCN series desilter is the third phase solids control equipment in the well-drilling mud system, remove any dry solids while retaining premium base fluid.

• Environmentally Efficient – The APCN MUD CLEANER provides efficient removal of sand and silt particles larger than 20 microns, and some as small as 15 microns. Removing and drying drilled solids helps meet environmental regulations by minimizing waste generated and reducing disposal costs.
• High Performance – Processing capacity of 1,000 GPM with the APCN D-SANDER and 900 GPM with the APCN D-SILVER concentrates solids onto a classification shaker
• Versatile – The MUD CLEANER can be operated with the 2-12 D-SANDER, 6T4 D-SILVER, or both to process weighted or unweighted fluid systems.
• Extends Equipment Life – The 2-12/6T4 MUD CLEANER helps minimize maintenance, repair, and replacement of downstream equipment.
• Reduces Operating Cost – The 2-12/6T4 MUD CLEANER reduces sand and silt-size particles and saves liquid, thus reducing mud cost, chances of stuck pipe, and lost circulation and improving the rate of penetration.
• Reduces Disposal Cost – The 2-12/6T4 MUD CLEANER minimizes waste generated thus reducing disposal cost.

Drilling mud cleaner desilter separators are one of the important equipment of solids control in the drilling fluid. The action is to remove the harmful solids, promote the drill fluid performance and separate 15～47 μm solids particles accounting for over 60% of solids quantity. When the quick drilling is made in the soft formation, the shale shaker only can remove large solids particles, but the Hydrocylone Desilter separators can remove fine solids particles, fully promoting the solids' control efficiency. Therefore, it is especially suitable for the well site where the formation is considerably hard and the drilling speed is slower so that the cuttings are very fine in particle size.
As a different treating capacity, you can choose the number of cyclones. Normally speaking, 8 no. of the cyclone is available, and you can choose 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 according to your requirement.

Summary of APCN drilling mud cleaner desilter

Desilter is the third phase solids control equipment to handle the drilling fluids. Generally, there are a set of hydrocyclones in 4” or 6” in the desilter, which mainly used for separating the solid particles sized in 15~47μm from the drilling fluids. The desilter cleaner mainly consists of shale shaker, hydrocyclones, distribution manifold, and electric control cabinet and desilter removes the solid particles from the drilling fluids which cannot be removed by shale shaker and desander

Drilling fluids desilter configuration

Drilling fluids desilter is the third phase solids control equipment after shale shaker and desander equipment. It is made by desilter cyclone, inlet and outlet pipeline, steel frame, and shale shaker for bottom drying. 

The desilter is mainly treat drilling mud by desilter cyclone by centrifugal force. It popularly uses 4” desilter cyclone for separate solids 15 – 25 microns and above, the majority larger solids particles were separated by centrifugal force and drop out from desilter nozzle and fluids content overflow from the top outlet and discharge to tank compartment. There may be a set of shale shakers on the bottom of the desilter cyclone, it is installed in finner mesh screen for drying solids particles out of cyclone. The mesh size chooses from API 140 to API 325 depending on the drilling requirement. The desilter mudflow can be 500GPM to 1500GPM depending on cyclone quantity.
