Electricity Mixed Drilling Mud Desander For Separate Sand 400V

Drilling Mud Desander Is Used To Separate Sand Which Is Mixed With Drilling Muds

Introduction of drilling mud desander

Desander separator is the sencond phase equipment in solids control system.There are many different configurations. Such as cones quantity, bottom shaker, electrical system, and so on

Below technical specification for your reference.

Desander cones information

For oil drilling mud process, desander cone is sized 8-12''.  Different size cones hold different treating capacity. Before we confirm the configuration or design on mud desander, we should consider the flow rate of all cones. For example, 10" cone capacity is about 90-120m³/h and we request 240m³/h flow rate then we need 2 desander cones at least. 

Cones on APCS Desanders 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. And we can configure 3 desander cone sized 10'', or 2 desander cons sized 12''. For much larger capacity, we can use 3 desander cone sized 12''. Moreover, some clients prefer the casting iron desander cone. According to the actual demand and condition, we'll make desander to satisfy both clients and working condition.

Drilling mud is transferred to cones by centrifugal pump from the shaker tank. Desander cone is fed by desander pump with fluids below shaker Under pump pressure the fluids run into cones and flow with centrifugal force. Then the heavy particlas will deposit down and pushed out of cone drop in Apex. Particles larger than 47 microns will be separated out of drilling mud.

After APCS desander processing, the cuttings finer than 47 microns will flow with fluids through outlet line on desander. The drilling mud with solids spray out of cones drop down to bottom shaker. Under vibration and filtration, the solids will be more dry and save much fluids for well drilling.The cleaned mud is to be transferred to desilter cone. However, some desander are designed without bottom shaker, the drilling mud with solids will flow out of desander on slide channel directly.

For desander separator, the bottom shaker is a flexible configuration, too. It can be Hunter-D series, or Hunter-M, or Hunter-Mini. And the screen panels can be 2, 3, or 4, even 5. For some clients' preference on dual motion, it can be made as dual motion desander, too. 

Actually, the bottom shaker under desander 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
