Difference between Drilling Waste Management and Solids Control System

Do you know what the important things are for oil drilling fields? Maybe there are two things we should consider, one is how to improve oil drilling work efficiency, and the other one is how to protect the environment around the oil drilling fields. Today KOSUN want to share our ideas about solving the two questions. When we prepare to answer the two questions, we will mention two system: solids control system and drilling waste management.

First, how to protect the environment around our oil drilling fields?

-KOSUN drilling waste management.

Just as we know, with the development of society, people have a strong mind about environment protection; we all know the importance of environment-friendly or eco-environment, we all know the importance to balance the economy development and environment protection, which is the same to our oil drilling works.

KOSUN have researched and manufactured our latest equipment – vertical cutting dryer, which is the core equipment for our drilling waste management equipment (it is also called drilling cuttings management system). Different models could meet your multiple demands in oil drilling works, especially for environment protection during the oil drilling works.Besides the cutting dryers, there are also some other important equipment for the whole drilling waste management equipment, such as decanter centrifuge, screw pumps, sand pump, screw conveyor, mud tank, etc. the whole solids control equipment could be combated together via new technology, and then provide an amazing working results, such as good environment protection.

Second, how to improve work efficiency in oil drilling works?

Generally speaking, there are many ways to reach this goal, at the same time, with the development of oil drilling fields, more and more new products come into our life and work, high quality and high tech to provide a high efficiency oil drilling works. About this question, KOSUN gives our own answer – Solids Control System.

KOSUN solids control system, which is also called mud system, you can use them in any kind of oil drilling fields. Why I said our solids control system or mud system could solve the problem of work efficiency? The reason is that our solids control system is constituted of high quality solids control equipment, such as mud tank, shale shaker, decanter centrifuge, mud cleaner, shale shaker screen, vacuum degasser, sand pump, etc. Usually, if we just use single solids control equipment, maybe the work efficiency will be lower than our expectation; while if we use newly technology to combine the different solids control equipment together, and test them until working smoothly, we must to say we have reached the goal of improving oil drilling work’s efficiency. That’s why KOSUN Solids Control Systemcould provide you a high work efficiency guarantee.

The above two points are about KOSUN solids control system and drilling waste management equipment, they are two different types system or unit, but they are the same in some extent. You could find the difference between the two systems, while you can also find the similar points between them.

The solids control system/mud system and drilling waste management equipment are the big success for KOSUN, more and more customers and partners choose these two systems used into their overseas oil drilling platforms. Anyway, solids control system and drilling waste management unit are born to improve your oil drilling work efficiency and protect the oil drilling fields environment.

How is Dryer Shaker Working in Drilling Waste Management?

KOSUN develops dryer shaker,vertical cuttings dryer, drying shaker, decanter centrifuge, screw conveyor, screw pump and other first-class high-performance drilling waste management system, taking “zero discharge of drilling waste” as the drilling waste treatment standard.

Dryer Shaker
Dryer Shaker

Hi-g dryer shaker reduces the liquid/oil content drilling cuttings to as low as about 10%(w/w) and recover part of the drilling mud,so that the drilling cost can be reduced and the drilling waste volume can be cut down,for the purpose of reducing environmental pollution.

Hi-G dryer shaker and vertical cuttings dryer can be introduced as drill cuttings usually take away much drilling mud and thus raise drilling cost. Hi-G dryer manages oil content and water content down to 10% from 30% while vertical cuttings dryer lowers oil on cuttings below 5%, to the greatest degree, with small rotary speed and centrifugal filtration. Either of them is effective to recover drilling mud and shrink drilling cost.

In order to protect the environment in which we live, recycle drilling fluid and save more cost for customers, KOSUN sets up “Xi’an Oil & Gas Drilling Waste Management Engineering Center” and develops vertical cuttings dryer, Hi-G dryer, centrifuge, screw conveyor, screw pump and other first-class high-performance drilling waste management system, taking “zero discharge of drilling waste” as the drilling waste management standard.

Drilling waste management has put forward higher requirements with the constant improvement of the environmental protection requirement. It can not only be very good to solve the environmental problems, but also can do recycling to the waste of the solids control system. While drilling cutting management system maximize retains the useful mud, and it concentrated solidify after processing of drilling cuttings. That helps to reduce the destruction of the environment in oil filed worker.

In the process of oil and gas drilling, general shallow wells would use water-based mud, and deep wells would use oil-based mud, that makes conventional solids control equipment work effectively on recovery of heavy metal and stone and useful drilling fluid. However, these cutting fluids containing heavy metals and solids (presumably oil content at 12%~18%) would caused great damage on nearby vegetation, soil, groundwater and other natural environment building and human living environment if they are not managed to emissions.

Features of Drilling Waste Management System:

  1. Good Result of Water-based Mud: 6%-10% Water Content.
  2. Overwhelmingly overcomes the difficulty in disposing the waste all or disposing them effectively, which combines the technology brought from Italy with advantages of the same products abroad.
  3. Stable Performance:KOSUN Drilling Waste Management is to control the volume of water containing in the drilling mud and stabilize the liquid performance, which achieves the purpose of managing the drilling waste and recycle the drilling mud without damaging the water performance.
  4. Environmental and Economical: This cutting dryer system realizes the social value of environmental protection, maximizing the usage of drilling fluid economically.

What is drilling waste?Drilling waste means cuttings, waste mud and waste water mixture generated during the drilling process. These wastes can cause serious environmental pollution, and if being directly discharged, they will do great harm to soil and water resource, making covered earth surface barren.
