System Components
Oil-Based Mud Zero-Discharge System Detailed Overview
The AIPU Oil-Based Mud Zero-Discharge System provides a complete environmental solution for drilling operations using oil-based mud. The system processes drill cuttings through a comprehensive treatment chain that includes drying, separation, and solidification, enabling maximum resource recovery and minimal environmental impact.
System Process: Drill cuttings from the conventional solids control system are transported via screw conveyor to the drill cuttings dryer for treatment. After drying, the solid phase is collected while the separated liquid phase enters storage tanks. From there, it's pumped to high-speed variable frequency centrifuges for mud-water separation. The treated solids are collected for solidification, while the cleaned drilling fluid is recycled for reuse.
