Desilter

A desilter is a device used in the oil and gas industry to remove fine particles (usually sand and silt) from drilling fluids. Drilling fluids, also known as mud, are essential in the drilling process as they help cool and lubricate the drill bit, carry cuttings to the surface, and provide stability to the wellbore. Desilters are part of a larger system called a solids control system, which is designed to separate and remove solids of various sizes from the drilling fluid. The desilter specifically targets smaller particles, typically in the range of 15 to 44 microns. It follows the larger solids removal equipment called desanders, which focus on particles in the range of 50 to 70 microns. The desilter typically consists of a set of hydrocyclones, which are cone-shaped devices that use centrifugal force to separate solids from the drilling fluid. The clean fluid is then returned to the drilling process, while the separated solids are usually discarded or treated for disposal. Efficient solids control is crucial in drilling operations to maintain drilling fluid properties, prevent equipment wear, and enhance overall drilling efficiency. Desilters play a specific role in this process by targeting the removal of fine particles from the drilling fluid. GN desilter is the third class solids control equipment to treat the drilling fluids. According to the size of the cone diameter, they are divided into Desander and Desilter. Usually the cone diameter is less than 6″is called Desilter, and used as the third-control equipment in drilling operation. We commonly used 5 “and 4” cone to separate solid-phase particle size 15-47μm in the drilling fluid. Based on customer requirements and capacity, we can select groups of cone into Desilter.GN Desilter works very well with Solids control system other equipments. The GN Mini Mud Cleaner is innovative products for drilling fluids cleaning. The traditional desander desitler without Shale Shaker is only available for unweighted drilling mud.The traditional mud cleaner is oversized for some applications,and the mud cleaner is relatively more expensive. The innovative GN Mini cleaner is an ideal option for both weighted and unweighted drilling mud with the most cost effective solution for drilling. Further more, the GN Mini Cleaner is the best choices for small mud system for HDD,CBM, water well drilling, mining exploration industry etc. Usually a second phase for your operation, but according to your needs and how your operation is planned, you can use desilter at any point and have it recycled process to get the product processed. GN desilter by itself or attached with other equipment, it will process your product with ease and makes your operation to be executed with ease.
