The mud cleaner is the second and third stage solids control equipment newly developed by Brightway for the solid phase control system of the drilling fluid. The mud cleaner is a combination of a desilter, a desander and a vibrating screen. The performance of the above three types of equipment is integrated. It has the characteristics of large processing capacity, fast processing speed, long screen life, convenient maintenance, compact structure, etc., and has the advantages of low functional loss and small space occupation, especially in the international drilling market. The equipment is reliable and easy to maintain. The mud cleaner is an ideal equipment for drilling fluid separation in the petroleum industry.
The mud cleaner is composed of the following eight parts:
- Base 2. Screen box 3. Inclination adjustment mechanism 4. Bracket 5. Vibration motor 6. Explosion-proof control switch 7. Desander 8. Desilter
Features of mud cleaners:
(1) The screen adopts the internationally popular orifice bonded screen. According to the mud performance and drilling conditions, a 20-200 mesh screen can be selected. In addition, the screen is a flat screen, so that the slurry is evenly distributed on the screen surface. So that the actual filtering area of the screen is increased, and the sticking of the slurry on the screen surface is reduced accordingly.
(2) The screen is compressed by a press frame, which is convenient and simple to replace the screen, and the compression is reliable. The traditional method of tensioning the bolt or the reel is changed, so that the screen and the screen basket are tightly adhered.
(3) The inclination angle of the screen box is adjustable, and the adjusting mechanism adopts spiral transmission, which is convenient to adjust and reliable in work.
(4) This equipment combines a desilter, a desander and a vibrating screen into one, which reduces the occupied area and brings great convenience to on-site operations and the removal of well teams.
Purpose and working principle of mud cleaner:
The mud cleaner is the primary and secondary purification equipment in the solid control system of the drilling mud. It processes and separates the large amount of drilling cuttings carried by the drilling fluid when returning from the well, so that the mud enters the lower separation equipment. The performance and use of the mud cleaner The quality directly affects the use effect of the lower-level separation equipment. The screen is designed according to the vibration principle of the screen surface producing a linear motion track. The vibration exciter makes the screen box reciprocate, and the solid particles in the mud are screened out of the screen surface with the movement of the screen box, so as to achieve the purpose of solid-liquid separation.
