Drilling Mud Cleaner with Hydrocyclones Applied in Oilfield

Feb 19, 2014

A mud cleaner is a type of cleaning and purifying equipment in a drilling mud system,is aiso called mud conditioner . When mud goes into a drilling system, such as one used for oil drilling, it first passes through a hydrocyclone, which is the first step in purifying the mud. After solids pass through this system, they next meet the mud cleaner, which is a mesh that has tiny holes to keep larger solids from passing through with the fluids. The mesh itself typically is made to block barite, because this is a common substance used and found in drilling. This keeps the mud from becoming too thick and stopping the drilling, and it allows the larger particles to be used for other purposes.

The first step in using a oilfield mud cleaner is to send the mud through a hydrocyclone, because it would be too thick for the cleaner to effectively work with. A hydrocyclone is a device that uses force to push purified mud through the top of the cyclone as thicker particles pass through the bottom section. Anything that goes through the bottom section will meet the mud cleaner.

While a hydrocyclone can help purify mud to some extent, the mud cleaner is responsible for purifying the mud even further. The drilling fluids cleaner is little more than a mesh with fine holes made to let tiny particles pass through. Anything that is tiny enough to pass through the holes will meet and blend with the purified mud expelled from the hydrocyclone.

Advantages of KOSUN Oilfield Mud Cleaner

1. It is the essential equipment of deep well and super deep well disposed the aggravation of drilling fluids, it can remove the super fine solid phase in aggravation of fluids.

2. It can effectively control the content of aggravation of drilling fluids to prevent the pressure difference and adhesion as well as other accidents and reduce the bond issues of drilling string and the thickness.

3. Save the drilling cost.

4. Improve the drilling environment.
