Cuttings Dryer is the key equipment in drilling waste management system and widely used in oil drilling field

Summary of vertical cuttings dryer

APVCD Series Vertical Cuttings Dryer For Drilling Waste Treatment Is Widely Used.

Vertical cuttings dryer is one of the core equipment for drilling waste treatment to dry drilling cuttings out of shale shaker on solids control mud tank. The cuttings dryer is designed for oil based mud cuttings for oil content after treatment bellow 5% by weight. So that the treated cuttings is dry enough for inland transport and low oil content will reduce cost for oily cuttings treatment to meet environment regulation. If you treat water based mud cuttings, it’s better to select high g dryer shaker instead of vertical cuttings dryer for better performance and minimum cost budget.

Vertical cuttings dryer is used for oil base mud drilling cuttings treatment, it is holding high efficiency separation of drilling cuttings out of shale shaker to reach a zero disposal application. The cuttings dryer also will separate fluids from drilling cuttings, a set of high speed decanter centrifuge will work to recycle the lost drilling mud and transfer back to solids control mud tank. The commen spare parts are easy to be replaced the wolfram carbide alloy knives on cones are chaneale to minimize the working failure.

Vertical cuttings dryer matching equipment

Vertical cuttings dryer will treat oil based cuttings out of shale shaker, fine solids together with oil contain will drop through shaker screen into a intermediate tank. Dry solids will be discharged out after dried with oil content with oil bellow 5%.

Screw conveyor will be used to collect drill cuttings from shale shaker and feed raw material into vertical cuttings dryer for further treatment. And screw conveyor will be used to collect solids out of dryer and delivery into cuttings stock tank.

Screw pump will be used to suction oily slurry out of dryer and feeding into decanter centrifuge to recycle drilling mud.

Decanter centrifuge will sit after vertical cuttings dryer and recycling drilling mud, then feedback into solids control mud tank.

A tank with skid and work platform to install all equipment.

Drilling Cuttings Treatment Procedure

The first step of treatment will be high G dryer shaker ( water base mud drilling cuttings ) or vertical cuttings dryer ( oil base mud drilling cuttings ) for cuttings drying. The vertical cuttings dryer can process cuttings with oil content bellow 5 percent and fluids content with fine fluids part will be collected by a small holding tank, there is a screw pump sit on tank and transfer drilling mud to a set of high speed decanter centrifuge for fluids recycle. The solids part will be discharge out and fluids part will be transfer to solids control mud tank to reach zero discharge.
