Water-Based Mud Zero-Discharge System Detailed Overview
The AIPU Water-Based Mud Zero-Discharge System is a comprehensive solution for managing drilling mud waste from water-based drilling operations. This system is specifically designed to achieve 100% recycling of drilling mud with zero environmental discharge, addressing both large-volume and small-volume mud treatment requirements through an integrated approach.
System Philosophy: Replace traditional mud pit disposal with advanced mechanical and chemical treatment processes that recover reusable drilling fluid, produce dry solids for disposal, and ensure all water is properly treated. This approach eliminates environmental risks while providing economic benefits through resource recovery.
System Operation Principles
For Large-Volume Mud Discharge: When significant volumes of mud are discharged from the conventional solids control system, the system focuses on maximizing fluid recovery. The process begins with high excitation force drying screens that efficiently separate coarse solids. This is followed by treatment with high-speed centrifuges that recover additional drilling fluid. The recovered fluid is then reintroduced into the drilling mud circulation system for reuse.
For Small-Volume Mud Discharge: When smaller volumes require treatment, the system employs chemical treatment and mechanical dewatering. Mud from collection tanks is transferred to a chemical treatment tank where specific additives are mixed to optimize separation. The treated mud is then processed through a dedicated filter press system that produces dry solids cake and clear water suitable for further treatment or reuse.
