How to disposal oil based drilling fluid waste? there are four steps to process waste oil-based mud. Waste oil-based mud demulsification, three phase separation，purification of waste oil base mud, reuse waste oil base mud.
In the oil drilling field, the drilling mud is also called “drilling fluid”, It includes water-based mud, oil-based mud. Water-based mud is water as dispersing medium and clay is a dispersed phase. Oil-based mud is oil as dispersing medium, histosols are dispersed phase. The oil-base mud is good for well wall stability.
Hazards of Drilling Waste Oil-based Mud
Waste oil-based mud is also called waste oil-based drilling fluid, and the content is very complex. They contain heavy metals, acids, bases, macromolecules, and a lot of oil and drilling cuttings. These materials are often difficult to break down naturally by microorganisms in the environment. If not properly handled, it can cause serious harm to people, animals and the environment. If the base oil can be recycled and treatment and reuse, will obtain certain economic benefits.
Disposal of Waste Oil-based Mud
Oil-base mud is a kind of waste by oil, water, asphalt and other organic solids, drilling cuttings and other inorganic solids, high molecular compound and other impurities of emulsion material, the disposal main goal is to realize the waste disposal and recycling of base oil, after disposal is the most important technical index of waste oil content and oil recovery efficiency.
The disposal of waste oil-based mud includes four steps:
1. Waste oil-based mud demulsification: The emulsion state in the spent oil-based drilling fluid is destroyed by means of chemical agent, sound wave, mechanical force or heating.
2. Three phase separation of waste oil-based mud: The separation of oil, water and solid can be realized by centrifugation, flocculation, extraction or evaporation condensation.
3. Purification of Waste oil base mud, The substances in each phase are purified to the extent that they can be reused or discharged directly.
4. Reuse waste oil base mud: According to the degree of purification, select the recycling method of each substance
Generally speaking, the disposal technology of abandoned oil-based mud is a systematic work.
