Which manufacturer is the best in Drilling Waste Management in China?

Drilling waste management manufacturer – Kosun, from China, are searching drilling mud treatment and disposal methods for 25 years, manufacturing quality drilling cuttings waste management system and serving the clients around the world.

The advantages of Drilling waste management are:

-It is good for the environment and saves energy.

-It reduces the cost of operation as we get to reuse the materials.

In the process of drilling a water or oil hole, the solids that are obtained and the drilling fluid get mixed. This is called drilling waste. This waste must first be separated for proper management.

After separation of the mixture, the drilling fluid that is obtained can be reused. But for the solids that are obtained, proper measures need to be taken so that there is minimum wastage and no harm is caused to the environment.

The first step is to take care that the waste which is generated is as minimum as possible. This can be done by slightly changing the way, the hole is drilled. That is instead of conventional drilling other drillings options must be considered like;

1] Directional Drilling: Here instead of going directly vertical, drilling is done by taking angles while going down. Its variations are extended reach drilling, horizontal drilling and multiple laterals.

2] Drilling holes with small diameter: Technologies used to obtain holes with smaller diameter are slim hole drilling and coiled tubing drilling.

3] Techniques in which less drilling fluid is required like pneumatic drilling.

The second step is to use those fluids that does not harm our environment. Examples of such fluids are Synthetic Based muds (SBM) that biodegradable, does not accumulate and digs clean holes and has almost no toxicity.

Third is that, the wastes that are obtained must be reused as much as possible. The fluid that is obtained can be reused again as a drilling fluid. The solid cuttings that are obtained can be reused by spreading it on road and preventing road erosion or using it as a construction material.

Lastly, proper care must be taken for those solids that cannot be used and needs to be disposed. For pits may be build or may be dumped as landfills, where another layer of soil or other material.

Drilling Waste Management Company-Kosun

Drilling waste management is the name of a major headache for the companies involved in drilling in different gas and oil mines. Due to the increased awareness of people regarding environment, drilling companies have to perform an extensive procedure before disposing the drilling waste. It is a very complex process in which the intervention of the professionals is required. So, drilling companies must seek the expertise help from a waste management engineer in order to ensure the proper disposal of shale shaker generated waste without disturbing the environment.

Drilling waste management entails all processes and precautions required or recommended to ensure a safe environment. Drilling waste contains spent fluids and drilling cuttings that result from the drilling process. The spent fluids and drilling cuttings that are referred to as drilling waste have no use in the ensuing drilling process therefore must be disposed of. However the disposal of this waste requires that the set environmental management standards and regulations are adhered to for the maintenance of a safe environment and also in order to avoid legal disputes and penalties.

Drilling waste management therefore is concerned with using materials, substances and facilities in the drilling process that minimize drilling waste while at the same time employ proper disposal of waste in a manner that reduces toxicity.

The newest drilling waste treatment equipment-Kosun

The main components of the drilling waste(drilling waste treatment) are cuttings, excess drilling fluids, hydrocarbons and water and are mostly categorized as hazardous waste.The disposal of these wastes are, in most locations around the world, highly regulated. The solids in the drill cuttings are usually separated and the cleaned off drill mud residue, as well as the produced water are usually cleaned at considerable costs.

drilling waste treatment equipment

The first step in managing drilling wastes is to separate the solid cuttings from the liquid drilling mud. Once solid and liquid drilling wastes have been separated, companies can use a variety of technologies and practices to manage the wastes. For some applications, drilling wastes are solidified or stabilized prior to their ultimate management practice. The management technologies and practices can be grouped into three major categories: waste minimization, recycle/reuse, and disposal.

The Following information is more about Kosun drilling waste treatment equipment：

–Vertical Cuttings Dryer( Vertical Centrifuge) can perform solid/liquid separation through centrifugal separation. The vertical cuttings dryer can effectively recover the liquid phase in drilling cuttings, making the solid phase become very dry. It is suitable for water-base mud, oil-base mud and synthetic base mud. By recovering the mud in drilling cuttings, the vertical cuttings dryer can reduce the drilling cost and cut down environmental pollution. With handling capacity of 40-60 T/h, the oil on cuttings (OOC) of drilling cuttings can be reduced to lower than 5% (w/w) after treatment, meeting the international emissions standards and environmental protection requirements. The vertical centrifuge can also be applicable for drilling waste management in onshore and offshore drilling.

–Hi-G Dryer is used to recover the mud from drilling cuttings,so as to reduce the liquid/oil content in 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.The Hi-G dryer suitable for both of WBM and OBM.

-DC Series Decanter Centrifuge is used in separating suspension of solids phase with particle ≥2μm in diameter for drilling mud and fluids handling.

-Screw Pump is an ideal pump used to feed drilling fluids to decanter centrifuge since drilling fluids is pushed to proceed along axial direction evenly. Therefore, the inner flow speed is kept low, volume unchanged and pressure stable so that vortex and agitation are prevented. Screw Pump is useful for wet mud drilling mud waste management and cuttings transportation.

–Screw conveyor (Auger) can be used in drilling waste management projects, providing an effective and low-cost drilling cuttings transport system for offshore and onshore drilling rigs. Adopting a multi-sectional composite structure with each section of 12 feet (3.66m), the screw conveyor can be flexibly assembled on different drilling sites, with characteristics of simple operation, stable structure, strong adaptability and high safety, significantly improving the operating efficiency of equipment and reducing the cost and resources. The flights of screw conveyer adopt wear-resistant material to ensure its service life.

The Work Principle of Decanter Centrifuge

The work principle of decanter centrifuge:Centrifuges, like shale shakers and hydrocyclones, are solids control equipment, It achieves the separation goal by dividing the fluid into highdensity and lowdensity streams to separate one from the other. The processing is achieved by accelerated sedimentation. As the drilling ﬂuid passing through a rapidly rotating bowl, centrifugal force moves the heavier particles to the bowl wall, where they are scraped toward the underﬂow discharge ports by a concentric auger, also called a scroll or conveyor, which rotates at a slightly slower rate than the bowl. The separation of the heavier particles divides the processed ﬂuid into two streams: the heavy phase, also called the underﬂow or cake; and the lighter phase, which is called the overﬂow, light slurry or centrate. The heavy phase will be discarded while the lighter one will be returned to the mud tank to be further treated. The removal of these solids in order to control rheology and ﬁlter cake quality is the primary reason for centrifuging weighted drilling ﬂuids. When the ﬁnest solids are not removed, the only alternative means of reducing their concentration is dilution, always an expensive process.

Before hydrocyclones (desanders and desilters) and decanter centrifuge became available for drilling applications, shale shakers and dilution were the only means of solids control of drilling fluids. Consequently, solids too ﬁne to be separated by the shaker screens in use could be controlled only by dilution which was a costly procedure that generated large quantities of excess drilling ﬂuid. Decanter centrifuge was designed to remove the fine cut and at the same time reduce the drilling cost.

To meet the requirements of the development of modern drilling engineering, KOSUN developed and equipped with the explosionproof variable frequency control system which could adjust separation factor and drum rotational speed.By this new technology,make the centrifuge to adapt property changing of mud duringthe operation process,that make the treatment more effective and perfect.

Common Troubleshooting of Decanter Centrifuge

Solids control equipment in one of the indispensable mud sand pump equipment used in the process,Desander Hydrocyclone will encounter some of the problems of how we want to troubleshoot it?( Decanter Centrifuge Troubleshooting)

If worn, then Desander Hydrocyclone may be the following two questions:

The first packing (packing) seal leakage serious, packing heavy wear, surface wear sleeve.

Remedy: Remove the packing (packing), with a 90 ° bend thin wire inserted into the cartridge mechanical seals, Oilfield Drilling Mud Decanter Centrifuge is bushings moving wall, if the check of Oilfield Drilling Mud Decanter Centrifuge is to be too deep for-sleeve trench filler cap too tight will lead to severe wear fillers.

Second, DWM Solids Control of polyurethane seals wear serious cause leakage.

Remedy: Replace polyurethane seal (Normally, when the sand pump is running 3-6 months, Drilling Mud Cleaner should be replaced at once polyurethane seals and seal sleeve).

There must be an electrical engineer specializing in operation and maintenance. At present, only a few well-drilling operations abroad with the type of high-speed centrifuge, high performance requirements for drilling special wells, Drilling Mud Cleaner recommended speed centrifuges and centrifuge series of domestic high-speed process, the medium-speed centrifuge drilling into the post-processing of high-speed centrifuge for liquid storage, treatment by high-speed centrifuges, Drilling Fluids Desander used repeatedly into the circulatory system. Drilling Fluids Desander at this time to get a better purification of positive significance to improve the follow-up equipment of DWM Solids Control (drilling sand pump, drilling, downhole equipment, etc.) of the life-saving mud material consumption, improve ROP and other aspects in Dwm control.

The Component of the Solid Control System

Solid control system is also called drilling fluids purification system, primarily applied for solids control and solid-fluid separation in drilling fluids so that the drilling mud might be recycled. Consisted of 3-7 module composite tanks and configured with 4 phases of purification equipment, it is fit for 2000-7000 meter oil drilling processes. The whole system is innovative with the bottoms of its purification tanks made to be conical and its edges equipped with mud agitating system to prevent solids from depositing. Besides, its tanks and bins may be comparted or united depending on the demands of drilling processes. Each of them is connected to another via pipe network in which the valves at the bottom of suction pipes are flexible while being opened, but can turn to be a good seal when closed.

The Component of the Solid Control System:

Solid control system

The first main equipment for solid control system should be the vacuum degasser,We could analytics from the function of vacuum degasser. Generally speaking, horizontal vacuum degasser will be used to separate the gas from the drilling solids. What’s the reason to do like that? Because we should do everything to prevent any dangerous elements in oil & gas drilling fields. That’s why we should put the vacuum degasser as the first role.

The second one should be mud cleaner. KOSUN MD Series Mud Cleaner is the second stage separation equipment for drilling fluids, which deals with the mud being treated by the first grade separation equipment. The barite will be recovered and cuttings which are bigger than barite will be removed. Then the barite in the underflow will flow into circulation tanks through the screens when the weighted mud passes while the particles that are bigger than mesh will be removed.

The third equipment, we think it should be shale shaker (with necessary steel frame shaker screen). Actually, after the drilling solids have been transported and fed into vacuum degasser and mud cleaner, the third step is going with shale shaker. Commonly, we still need to be transported the solids onto the shale shaker, or we could say onto the surface of shaker screen. The equipment of transporting we should use is centrifugal sand pump or screw pump; and we may use shear pump to cut the drilling solids into small one if they are in big size. With the different design of the shaker screen’s mesh, we could get the drilling solids separated in different sizes.

The fourth equipment should be the decanter centrifuge. KOSUN DC Series Decanter Centrifuge is used to separate suspended solids ≥2μm in diameter and treat the drilling mud and fluids. It is especially effective when used in oilfield service industry, industrial service industry and especially in environmentally sensitive areas. This type of centrifuge is high in recovery rate, effective in solids control and remarkable in the reduction of cost spent on drilling mud resupplying and management. It is a very sophisticated dynamic balancing machine, able to operate stably with the whirling speed ranging from 0 to 3900 and generate centrifugal force of 3000G. In solid control system, decanter centrifuge has been popularly used, which is also the popular one for drilling waste management. In this step, we could not only get the result of separating, but also we could separate the oil from the drilling solids, even if the oil is just a little part.

Of course, the whole equipment must be mounted on the top of drilling mud tank, which is a kind of basic equipment for both solid control system and drilling waste management (vertical cutting dryer is the core equipment for this system), but it is a kind of powerful equipment.
