Which Functions Does Vertical Cutting Dryer Have in Drilling Waste Management?

Vertical cuttings dryer is referred to as vertical dryer, drying centrifuge and cuttings dryer. It can dry water-based and oil-based mud centrifugally, which helps to solve the problem of separation and drying of drilling waste in the current oil-based and water-based mud environment. .

Vertical cutting dryer is commonly used in the field of oilfield environmental protection waste mud treatment. It can effectively recover the oil content in drilling cuttings, achieve solidification and transportation effectively, and meet the requirements of environmental protection regulations. This kind of vertical cutting dryer is specially used to treat drilling cuttings discharged from drilling fluid shale shaker, and suitable for oil-based mud (OBM), synthetic based mud (SBM).

Which Functions Does Vertical Cutting Dryer Have in Drilling Waste Management?

1. Vertical cutting dryer separates the solid and liquid phases through the principle of centrifugal separation.

2. Vertical cutting dryer not only recovers the liquid phase in the drilling cuttings effectively, but also makes the solid phase very dry. It is suitable for water-based, oil-based and synthetic based mud, etc. It recovers the mud in the drilling cuttings, maintains the performance of drilling fluid and store the circulating drilling fluid to make drilling fluid recycled, thereby reducing the cost of oil drilling and reducing the pollution to the environment.

3. The function of vertical cutting dryer is to cooperate with drilling solids control equipment for secondary treatment of solids control equipment to discharge the waste slurry. After the waste slurry is removed from the solids control, it is transported to the vertical cuttings dryer through screw conveyor. The water in the mud is separated directly, and drill cuttings are very dry and can be directly transported to the waste dump, or transported to the brick factory to turn waste into treasure.

It can be seen that waste slurry drying has important in oil drilling process, and the vertical cutting dryer is indispensable.
