Mud cleaners for drilling mud
Last month, one drilling company called us for a problem they are facing. Their desilter cone doesn't spray the drilling fluids properly from bottom nozzle as expected. They called us but not the original manufacture since their existing supplier couldn't solve the problem. Our technician connected with client's operator and based on their practical situation and working condition
Finally, we found their desander cone and the pipeline configuration&structure are not proper. The equipment they are operating with over 4 years history. At the end, we proposed our mud cleaner instead of their separated hydrocyclone separators. Now the mud cleaner works well and gives client satisfied performance.
Oil and gas drilling fluids conditioner details
Majority of mud system in oil and gas well drilling including mud cleaner. However, some of clients prefer separated desander and desilter. Mud conditioner main specifications including flow rate, bottom shaker model, shaker motor, and so on
We select size and number of cones according to whole mud flow rate during oil and gas drilling. Some wells deep 4000m, or 7000m even 9000m. Different well and the geology condition request different mud pumps holding various of treating capacity.
Bottom shaker of mud cleaner, at AIPU, there are 2 main type. One is 3-panel the other is 4-panel. While for both type there are 2 options including single motion or dual motion

We still can use separated desander and desilter instead of mud cleaner. But the different option is the bottom shaker of separated equipment. It can be standard shaker instead of the mini shaker or the slid channel.
Other detail configuration or design including the splash guard over shaker basket and the ball valve on cones.
