Drilling cutting treatment equipment is the key process in the process of cutting treatment

Drilling cutting treatment equipment is the key process in the process of cutting treatment.

Drilling is a high-intensity operation that will produce a large amount of cuttings, which will pollute the environment if not treated effectively. Drilling cuttings treatment technology involves the design of a drilling fluid system, the selection of cuttings treatment equipment, and the control of the treatment process.

Drilling fluid is an important liquid to carry cuttings from the bottom of the well and cool the bottom of the well. The design of the drilling fluid system should take into account the drilling purpose, wall stability, cuttings suspension, pollution control, and other factors.

The purpose of drilling determines the properties and selection of drilling fluid. Different drilling purposes require different drilling fluids. For example, water can be used as drilling fluid to drill Wells, while special drilling fluids are needed to drill oil Wells. An important role of drilling fluids is to promote the stability of well walls and avoid problems such as mutual wear and soil layer collapse. The drilling fluid includes a pressure function, cuttings suspension function, anti-friction function, filtration control, mud column support function, etc. In addition to having a certain supporting effect on the well wall, the drilling fluid should also have enough suspension ability to ensure that the cuttings are taken out of the wellhead as soon as possible to avoid the accumulation of cuttings in the well. The drilling fluid contains harmful substances, which will affect the environment if the pollution is not controlled effectively. Therefore, pollution control should be fully considered in the design of the drilling fluid system.

So, drilling cutting treatment equipment is the key process in the process of cutting treatment. The selection and quantity of equipment determine the effect and cost of cutting treatment.
Therefore, when we choose drilling cutting treatment equipment, we should find a professional company, which can provide professional and economic solutions. KOSUN is a professional drilling waste treatment company, established more than 30 years, has rich experience in drilling cutting treatment.

Prominent Advantages of the Drilling Cuttings Zero-Discharge Process

The drilling cuttings zero-discharge process, also known as drilling waste management system, cuttings zero-discharge system, or drilling waste zero-discharge system, can be divided into water-based mud zero-discharge system and oil-based mud zero-discharge system according to its application.

With the continuous increase in environmental requirements, higher demands have been placed on drilling site cuttings treatment. The emergence of drilling waste management and purification systems not only effectively solves on-site environmental issues but also enables the secondary recovery and treatment of waste generated by the site’s solid control system. It preserves useful mud while centrally solidifying the treated cuttings, reducing the damage to the surrounding environment caused by on-site operations.
Traditional tailings treatment usually involves storing cuttings and wastewater generated during drilling in mud pits, which not only occupies limited land resources at the drilling site but also imposes economic burdens. Therefore, the update of mud treatment technology is urgently needed, and the advent of the drilling cuttings zero discharge process solves this problem effectively.
The drilling cuttings zero discharge process involves treating waste generated drilling during the drilling process, without passing through a mud pit for wastewater treatment. It is processed in real-time alongside the drilling process, achieving the integration of work efficiency, economic benefits, energy conservation, and environmental protection. In many drilling sites, this process is also known as the “drilling waste in-sync processing” technology. The drilling cuttings zero discharge process has been widely accepted and adopted in the world.

Drilling Oil-Based Cuttings Treatment Achieves Source Reduction and Emission Reduction

Drilling oil-based cuttings treatment achieves source reduction and emission reduction.

KOSUN’s cuttings dryer equipment can perform drying treatment on oil-based mud cuttings, achieving source reduction and emission reduction objectives, and enabling the drilling mud not to be discharged on-site and the waste mud to be recycled and reused.
Through the treatment of KOSUN’s cuttings dryer equipment, the following effects can be achieved:
(1) Significantly reduce the amount of solid phase emissions.
(2) The drilling fluid in drilling waste can be separated and recovered through high-speed variable frequency centrifuge, thus enabling reuse in the drilling solid control system.
(3) It can help drilling companies save a significant amount of drilling fluid costs.
(4) It can reduce the costs of handling, transportation, and centralized treatment of drilling waste, making it the best choice for drilling companies’ drilling waste treatment projects.

An Overview of the Drilling Dig Mud Tank System: Composition and Function

The components and applications of a drilling rig mud tank system may include:

Mud Tank: It is are large container used to store and circulate drilling fluids (mud) during the drilling process. It has various compartments for different purposes such as mixing, settling, and storing mud.
Shale Shaker: It is a vibrating screen that separates large solids and cuttings from the drilling mud. It helps in maintaining the consistency and quality of the mud.
Mud Agitators: These are mechanical devices that stir the drilling mud in the tanks to prevent settling and maintain a uniform mixture. They ensure the mud remains well-mixed and homogeneous.
Desander and Desilter: These are hydrocyclone units used for removing finer solids, sand, silt, etc. from the drilling mud. Desander removes larger particles, while desilter removes smaller particles.
Centrifuge: It is a machine that uses centrifugal force to separate the components of liquid and solid particles or a mixture of liquid and liquid.
Mud Pumps: The mud pumps are used to circulate the drilling mud from the mud tanks down the drill string and back up to the surface. They provide the necessary pressure to enable drilling operations.
Vacuum degasser: The vacuum degasser is usually used to remove gases, such as methane and other harmful vapors, from the drilling mud. It helps in maintaining the safety and stability of the drilling process.

The main applications of a drilling rig mud tank system include:

Controlling and maintaining the properties of drilling mud, such as viscosity, density, and pH.
Removing solid particles and cuttings from the drilling mud to ensure proper drilling performance.
Recycling and reusing the drilling mud to minimize waste and reduce costs.
Managing and disposing of drilling waste in an environmentally responsible manner.
Providing a safe and efficient drilling operation by controlling the drilling fluid properties.

Drilling rig mud tank system plays an important role in oil drilling and other industrial fields. It stores, blends, agitates and mixes mud, performs filtration and solid-liquid separation, and controls mud circulation and circulation parameters. The application of a drilling rig mud tank system not only improves the efficiency and safety of drilling operations, but also plays a positive role in environmental protection.
