Desilter Detailed Overview
The AIPU APCN Desilter is a highly efficient solids control equipment designed for third-phase solids removal in drilling operations. Utilizing advanced hydrocyclone technology, it effectively separates fine silt-sized particles (15-44µm) 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 for fine solids removal.
Working Principle
The desilter operates using centrifugal force within multiple hydrocyclones:
- Centrifugal Separation: Drilling mud enters the hydrocyclone tangentially, creating a vortex that separates solids by density
- Fine Particle Removal: Very fine silt particles (15-44µm) are forced to the walls and discharged through the underflow
- Clean Fluid Return: Cleaner drilling fluid exits through the overflow for further processing or reuse
- Multiple Cone Design: Configurations from 4 to 16 cones provide processing capacities up to 360 m³/h
Technical Advantages
- Durable Polyurethane Cones: 100% Polyurethane material ensures longer service life and superior wear resistance in abrasive drilling environments
- Clamp Type Connection: Simplifies installation and disassembly for easy maintenance and reduced downtime during operations
- Optional Bottom Shaker: Enhanced solids control with customizable shaker screen options for specific operational needs
- Low Maintenance Design: Easy operation with fewer spare parts and simplified maintenance requirements, reducing operational costs
- Strict Quality Procedures: Implemented strict sand spraying procedures ensure consistent performance and reliability
- Corrosion Resistance: Utilized anti-abrasion and anti-corrosion paint extends equipment life in corrosive drilling environments
- Global Certifications: 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
