As the indispensable part of desander for separating solids, hydrocyclones in different specifications work against different diameters and for different cleannesses. Besides, separation capacity is closely related with hydrocyclone diameter since larger diameter is aimed at larger particles while smaller one contends with smaller particles.

I. Installation & Maintenance:

1. Desander ought to be installed on a well-prepared, flat foundation or merely on the ground. Then three expansion bolts are adequate to keep the base stable on the foundation built with concrete, which has a round or square surface and is 150mm high.

2. Take notice of the pipelines and flow directions in the installation.
 

3. Surface configuration of mud tanks ought to include some space for operators. Though no maintenance is necessary for desander when it has no mobile parts, it is important to maintain a stable load at the inlet and proper force towards the drain valve, and to keep it from human damage.

II. Matters Needing Attention in Adjustment:

1. It is not allowed to decommission the desander out of personal will.

2. It is proper to install the desander behind the untra-deepwater pump.

3. The system may automatically pause periodically or seasonally. Before that happens, certain amount of corrosion inhibitors or excessive high water level protection can be applied to reduce corrosion and protect system.

Desander is an important drilling solids control equipment, it is used as the second or third stage in the whole drilling fluids purification system. The most common cone is in 8” or 10”, mainly separating the solids in 47-76 μm from the drilling fluids. According to your treating capacity, you can choose the quantity of cones for desander.

Aiso, there are other solids control equipments used in drilling fluids purification system, such as drilling shale shaker, mud cleaner, desilter, vacuum degasser, oilfield drilling decanter centrifuge, mud tank and other assistant devices for this system. KOSUN is pioneer in manufacturing solids control equipment and drilling fluids system in China, we can provide series production above for drilling mud solids control .
