Cyclone Cleaner for Drilling Mud Process

Cyclone cleaner is a three in one equipment with desander cyclone, desilter cyclone and bottom shale shaker for 47 – 76 micron and 15 – 46 micron solids separation. The cleaner is used for top configuration of solids control system for high mud flow capacity, dryer solids product, cost effective and limit footprint. It is laid after shale shaker and vacuum degasser for 2nd phase and 3rd phase solids control. AIPU Solids Control supply open options for cleaner on cyclone size, cyclone quanity, shaker model and pipeline arrangement.

Configuration of Cyclone Cleaner

  1. Bottom shaker can be large shaker with 3-4 decks or mini shaker with 1 or 2 panels depending on budget. The larger shaker will be better dryer performance on dryer product.
  2. Desander cyclone is 10” or 12” for sand separation, 10” size cone is more popular on site. Desilter cyclone is 4” size and 4 – 20 pcs cone for mud flow 45 m³/h to 360 m³/h.
  3. Pipelines for desander inlet and outlet, desilter inlet and outlet. Each inlet installs a pressure gauge for 0.25 – 0.4Mpa.

Different cyclone separator

We know mud cleaner, separated desander and desilter all including hydrocyclones. So cyclone cleaner can be desander or desilter according to actual condition or job site. However, mud cleaner is more popular in whole oil drilling fluids process system.

Even, we can make desander cone, desilter cone and the slide chute together to save space and save cost for users. Of course, based on client’s demand and their preference

Another difference is based on a single equipment flow rate or treating capacity. Such as for desander, it’s APCS240 or APCS360 then the bottom shaker vary accordingly.

More information or detail on cone

They are made of high quality polyurethane. There is metal frame over Desander cone internal. It’s durable and anti-abrasion for drilling mud with cuttings.

For some special configuration, the desilter cone will hold ball valve on input port to control whole equipment flow rate in different drilling mud system

The solids particles drop from cyclone will drop onto shaker screen to dry and recycling drilling fluids.
