Mud cleaner is the second class and the third class solids control equipment which is the newest type to treat the drilling fluid. At the same time, mud cleaner has the higher cleaning function compared with separated desander and desilter. In addition to the reasonable design process, it equals another shale shaker. The hydrocyclones make the primary separation with underflow directed onto the shaker vibrating screen. The KOSUN Mud Cleaners have been proved effective in lowering both drilling fluids and disposal costs.

Mud cleaner main components are shaker basket, vibration motor, screen tensioning system, angle adjustment system, lock device, feeder and electric system. The drilling fluids mud cleaner's main body is made up of two parts of hydrocyclones on upper position and a shaker.
 

Process Flow of Drilling Fluids Mud Cleaner

The weighted mud flows to the inlet head section of the desander and/or desilter entering the hydrocyclones for separation of particles. Mud leaving the underflow is further screened with fine mesh to separate larger particles allowing only barite-size particles to pass through the screen.

Hydrocyclone for Drilling Fluids Mud Cleaner

A hydrocyclone ( often referred to the shortened form cyclone ) is a device to classify, separate or sort particles in a liquid suspension based on the ratio of their centripetal force to fluid resistance. This ratio is high for dense ( where separation by density is required ) and coarse (where separation by size is required) particles, and low for light and fine particles. Hydrocyclones also find application in the separation of liquids of different densities.
