Drilling mud desilter for drilling fluids process

Drilling mud desilters brief information

Mud desilter is the third phase solids control equipment used to purify the drilling mud. It is fit with 5″ and 4″ cones to separate 15 ~ 45 micron solids particles. According to customers’ different requirements, we can design different types of desilters.

Difference including the treating capacity depending on the cones size and number. Another difference is the bottom shaker, with it or without it. If we need bottom shaker, what is the size and model? Please find more information below

Desilter structure and working principle

The mud desilter manly including feeding line, overflow discharge, cyclone group, shale shaker, support, etc.

The basic principle is drilling fluid transferred by centrifugal pump to desilter. At this occasion, the drilling fluid is under certain push force and pressure. The drilling fluid will become high speed whirl and give large centrifugal force.

Then the heavier solids will flow out via drop in Apex or nozzle. If there is a bottom shaker, the drilling fluid will be filtered again by screen. Finally the particle will be separated out of drilling mud

The clean drilling mud without heavy solids will flow into mud tank via the discharge line.

The desiiter maintenance

  1. Before using desilter firstly we must remove the locking pin.
  2. If desilter has been shut off for a long time, we must clean it out completely. This will help to prevent accumulation of dry sand in hydrocyclone
  3. Vibration motor should be lubricated every 1500~2500 hours, each bearing should be fed 5~10ml.
  4. After the operating, cleaning shaker screen immediately to avoid sediment blocking.

The advantages of Aipu desilters

  1. Cones size and numbers are flexible to meet clients’ different demands.
  2. Polyurethane cones are more durable.
  3. Whole equipment design is exquisite and convenient to handle and install
  4. A few wearing parts and easy to maintain
  5. Competitive price very cost-effective proposal
