Drilling waste vertical cuttings dryer for oil based mud

Drilling waste vertical cuttings dryer is widely used to treat oil based mud and oil based mud cuttings. It can further recovery useful drilling fluids from the drilling waste cuttings, and reduce the oil content on the cuttings.
Function of drilling waste vertical cuttings dryer for oil based mud and oil based cuttings
Oil on cuttings (OOC) is a basic parameter to identify the performance of a Vertical cuttings dryer. Before enter into vertical cuttings dryer, the oil on cuttings (OOC) is normally around 15% ~ 25%. After treatment of Vertical cuttings dryer, the OOC should be reduced to 3% ~ 5%. It is the degree accepted by most of the counties. The cuttings with 3% ~ 5% OOC discharged from VG dryer can be buried directly.

In some counties with higher standard, the cuttings can be moved to thermal desorption unit (TDU) for further treatment to reduce OOC to 0.5%.
The recovered mud from Vertical cuttings dryer can be reused for drilling. But as the mud is very heavy, Normally, high speed drilling waste decanter centrifuge will be used after VG dryer to reduce the mud weight. After VG dryer and high speed centrifuge treatment, the mud should be qualified for drilling. As there is no environment hazardous materials generated from the drilling rig site after all these treatment, so VG dryer and high speed centrifuge are popular and welcomed by rig site as Zero discharge system.
Many clients may wonder: If the thermal distortion unit (TDU) can reduce oil on cuttings to as low as 0.5%, why don’t the rig site use TDU to treat oil based mud and cuttings directly. The answer is that, TDU is a high energy consumption equipment. And the capacity is very small, the normal capacity of 1 set TDU is 1 ton per hour, and max. 2 tons per hour. And it is cost higher. But VG dryer can treat around 30 tons per hours. Equip VG dryer before TDU can increase treating capacity of the total system.

Air conditioner cooling system for drilling waste decanter centrifuge VFD panel

There are many different types of explosion proof VFD control panel for drilling waste decanter centrifuge variable frequency drive (VFD) control panel. But fewer company can make VFD panel with air conditioner system.

Other types of explosion proof VFD control panel:

1) The most normal and the cheapest one is flame proof type VFD control panel. Strictly speaking, the flame proof control panel is not suitable for VFD control panel like for centrifuges. It is not good for performance on cooling. It is not suitable for hazardous environment. But as it costs lower and easy to make, when the jobsite does not have high requirement on VFD panel type, and they only want one for running, flame proof panel may be used. Mostly, small companies make flame proof type VFD panel.

decanter centrifuge-22) Another type is positive pressurized VFD control panel. It is confirms with IEC/EX or ATEX standard. It is compact in design and suitable for high temperature area. It is the most popular design for drilling waste centrifuge VFD control panel. It is used together with air source for explosion proof and for self cooling.

3) Air conditional cooling system for drilling waste decanter centrifuge VFD panel is the relative high standard. Fewer companies can make this design, especially in China. GN Solids Control is one of the few companies who have the ability to design and make Air conditional cooling system for drilling waste decanter centrifuge VFD panel.

Advantages of Air conditioner cooling system for drilling waste decanter centrifuge VFD panel:

Firstly, as it is equipped with air conditioner it is not need to connect with the extra air source.

Secondly, it is more suitable for hazardous environment, like for the very cold weather or the very hot weather.

And the Air conditioner cooling type VFD control panel for drilling waste management decanter centrifuge is more suitable for the offshore drilling rigs. As in offshore drilling rigs, the temperature is normally high and the air is high moisture, it is not suitable for pressurized VFD panel.

How to transfer drilling cuttings, pump and conveyors

In order to treat the drilling cuttings, operators need to find the best way to transfer the drilling cuttings to the treatment equipment like high G drying shaker and vertical G cuttings dryer. The most popular way for transfer drilling cuttings is the screw conveyors (Auger Conveyor), and the drilling cuttings transfer pump.

Part 1) Screw Conveyor for Drilling cuttings transfer

Screw conveyor is also called Auger Conveyor, it is one of the most popular equipment for transfer drilling cuttings. The advantages for the Auger conveyor is the simple design, and easy operation, as well as a long length for picking up the cuttings discharged from the shale shakers or mud cleaners on the drilling rig mud tanks. The disadvantages are that, it is not easy to layout for transfer from one equipment to the other, especially for the long distance. Since the conveyor cannot lay at degree over 45 degree. And it is not good to transfer drilling cuttings with high moisture.

160520 Waste Management

Part 2) Vacuum Pump or Solids Pump for drilling cuttings transfer.

The vacuum pump or solids pump are used to transfer drilling cuttings. The big advantages are long distance transfer with easy layout, and it can be use for transfer high moisture drilling cuttings. The vacuum pump or solids pump are driven by air, so it is safe to operate in hazards  areas to be explosion proof. The disadvantage are the power consumption for creating air, and not suitable to pick up drilling cuttings from different equipment like the shale shakers and mud cleaners on the mud tank.

 

So most of the cases, operators will combine the drilling cuttings screw conveyor and the solids pump together to transfer drilling cuttings to the treatment equipment.

 

GN Solids Control is able to provide you the screw conveyor and drilling cuttings transfer pump for the waste management operations. Also high G drying shaker and vertical cuttings dryers are available from GN factory in stock.

Knowledge about the difference of Solids Control & Drilling Waste Management

In this article, we mainly introduce the different between “Solids Control” & “Drilling Waste Management”.

“Solids control” & “Drilling Waste Management” are frequently heard with the drilling mud, what is the difference between them?

Simply, we can say for the “Solids control”, it is to separate out the solid phase from the liquid-phase mud; for the “Drilling waste management”, it is to separate out the liquid phase from the solid-phase drilling waste;

  1. Solids Control

Drilling mud is the necessary material for the drilling work especially in the oil & gas drilling, there will be a lot of drilling cuttings when the mud circulates out from the well hole, which will influence the physical property of mud and the mud must be treated before going into the well hole again.

The treatment process with the drilling mud is called “Solids Control”, because mainly the drilling cuttings are the solid particles with different sizes, it is called “Solids Control”.

During the treatment process, the solids control equipments like Shale Shaker, Desander, Desilter, Decanter Centrifuge, Centrifugal Pump, Mud Tank, Mud Agitator will be used;

Usually the treatment process is exited on the well site;

Mud handling equipments and mud tanks

  1. Drilling Waste Management

During the “Solids Control” process, the separated out solid particles or drilling cuttings by the equipments like shaker, desander, deacnter centrifuge are same called as “Drilling Waste”.

Usually the drilling waste will be temporarily collected and poured into a pit on the well site. Then regularly they will be transported to the special facility for accepting the treatment, the “treatment process” is called “drilling waste management”.

The main treatment process is to further lower down the liquid content (oil, gas, etc) in the drilling waste (that is also why we say it is to separate out the liquid from the solid) and lower down the harm to the environment.

During the treatment process, the equipments like centrifuge, high-G shaker, vertical cutting dryer, screw conveyor will be used very ofen.

As compared with the “Solids Control”, “Drilling Waste Management” is to further lower down the liquid content based on the former, so the latter has a higher requirements with the equipments.

Such as the centrifuge and high-G shaker, compared with that used in the “Solids Control”, they must have higher rotation speed or vibration strength in the “drilling waste management”.
