Desander Detailed Overview

The AIPU APCS Desander is a highly efficient solids control equipment designed for second-phase solids removal in drilling operations. Utilizing advanced hydrocyclone technology, it effectively separates sand-sized particles (44-74µm) from drilling fluids, ensuring optimal mud properties and drilling efficiency.

Primary Application: As essential equipment in drilling mud purification systems, it is widely used in oil and gas drilling operations, HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling), CBM (Coal Bed Methane) drilling, and geothermal drilling projects.

Working Principle

The desander operates using centrifugal force within hydrocyclones:

  • Centrifugal Separation: Drilling mud enters the hydrocyclone tangentially, creating a vortex that separates solids by density
  • Particle Removal: Heavier sand particles (44-74µm) are forced to the walls and discharged through the underflow
  • Clean Fluid Return: Cleaner drilling fluid exits through the overflow for further processing

Technical Advantages

  • High Quality Construction: Polyurethane cones with cast iron injection ensure durability and long service life in harsh drilling environments
  • Easy Installation: Clamp type connection method simplifies installation and disassembly, reducing downtime during maintenance
  • Flexible Configuration: Optional bottom shaker enhances solids control capabilities for specific operational needs
  • Low Maintenance: Designed with fewer spare parts for simplified operation and maintenance, reducing operational costs
  • Strict Quality Control: Implemented pellet sanding procedures ensure consistent performance and reliability
  • Enhanced Durability: Abrasion and corrosion resistant coatings extend equipment life in corrosive drilling environments
  • Global Compliance: Available with ATEX, IEC, and other international certifications for worldwide deployment
  • Cost Efficiency: High efficiency in solids removal translates to significant savings in drilling fluid costs and waste management
