API Standard High Strength Steel Hunter Drilling Mud Cleaner

Hunter series mud cleaner is a normal model of our company

Hunter series mud cleaner is a normal model of our company,we can design customized cost-effective mud Cleaner for customers special needs.Our mud cleaner can meet almost all needs for oil & gas well drilling fluids treatment system and HDD Mud Recycling System.

Mud cleaner is a combination of shaker, desander cone and desilter cone. We call it three in one, too. For oil drilling mud process, desander cone is sized 8-12''. The desilter cone is 4'' or 5''. Different size cones hold different treating capacity. When we confirm the configuration or design on mud cleaner, we should consider the general flow rate of all cones. For example, 4" cone capacity is about 20m³/h and we request 240m³/h flow rate we need to configure 12 cones at least. To consider some heavy mud and large solids content we suggest 125% of  rated capacity.

Cones on Hunter mud cleaner are all high quality polyurethane. Such cones are durable and anti-corrosive, oil-resistant, high temperature-resistant. They are very suitable for drilling fluids process. For some clients, they prefer flexible capacity adjustment during operation so we'll install ball valves on the cones inlet line. 

Drilling mud is transferred to cones by centrifugal pump from the shaker tank. Desander cone and desilter cone are fed by different pumps. This will provdie better result. Under pump pressure the fluids will run into cones and flow with centrifugal force. Then the heavy particlas will deposit down and pushed out of cone drop in Apex.

After the mud cleaner processing, the solids larger than 15 microns will be separated out of drilling fluids. The drilling mud with solids spray out of cones drop down to bottom screen panel. Under vibration and filtration, the solids will be more dry and save much fluids for well drilling.The cleaned mud is transferred to centrifuge.

Some clients don't know the difference between desander and desilter. Actually, it's very easy to identify them. Bigger cone separate larger particles, smaller one separate the finer particles. And fluids will be separated by desilter after processed by desander. 

Besides mud cleaner, the separated desander and desilter is another option for user. Please refer to information on desander and desilter for more reference. The bottom shaker under mud cleaner cone is used to dry fluids out of cone. So, the mesh size is rather high and the capacity is enough for discharge from cone but not same as previous shaker

Plese check below technical specification for your reference.
