TR Solids Control Cuttings Dryer: Application Effect in Oilfield Drilling

In oilfield drilling operations, the treatment of waste drilling fluid has always been a key challenge for environmental protection and cost control. TR Solids Control's cuttings dryer, with its excellent performance and remarkable application effects, has become important support for green mining in oilfield drilling and production.

Efficient Processing, Improved Operation Efficiency

TR Solids Control cuttings dryer is single-stage continuous working scraper discharge centrifuge, specially designed for drying cuttings from oil-based and composite-based mud. With rotation speed of up to 900 rpm, it generates separation factor of 420G, enabling efficient separation of liquids from cuttings. The dryer has processing capacity of 30-50 tons per hour, which can quickly handle large volumes of drilling waste, greatly improving the efficiency of cuttings treatment and ensuring the continuity of drilling operations.

Durable Design, Ensuring Stable Equipment Operation

The discharge scrapers of cuttings dryer are cast from high-chromium cast iron, featuring high durability and effectively extending the service life of the equipment. The supporting high-pressure air knife can prevent screen basket clogging, ensuring continuous processing. In addition, the dryer is equipped with independent oil circuit cooling system, suitable for use in high-temperature environments.

Resource Recovery, Reducing Drilling Costs

A large amount of drilling waste containing oil-based mud is generated during the circulation of the drilling solids control system. Failure to recycle it in timely manner will not only cause mud waste but also increase waste treatment costs. The cuttings dryer separates cuttings from oil-based mud by centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation. The recovered oil-based mud can be directly used in subsequent drilling operations, significantly reducing mud procurement costs and waste treatment expenses, realizing effective resource recycling.

TR Solids Control cuttings dryer can stably reduce the oil content of cuttings to below 5%, and even as low as 3% under certain working conditions. It achieves the goals of reduction, harmlessness and resource utilization of waste drilling fluid, improving resource utilization and greatly reducing on-site environmental pressure.

Process Optimization, Enhancing Overall Benefits

As solid-liquid separation equipment, the cuttings dryer separates cuttings from oil-based mud via centrifugal force. After treatment, the solid waste can be directly stacked dry, and the liquid phase is recycled. The dried solid cuttings are sent to the collection box by screw conveyor, while the liquid phase flows into the mud tank for standby, realizing full-process resource recovery.

TR Solids Control's cuttings dryer has been widely used in oilfield drilling projects in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Sichuan, Henan, Ningxia, Gansu and other regions. With stable treatment effects, efficient resource recovery capacity and reliable operation, it has been highly recognized by oilfield drilling companies. Its supporting oil-based mud zero-discharge system has also received many praises, becoming the preferred equipment for green drilling in oilfields.

Through resource recovery, environmental control and process optimization, the cuttings dryer serves as a key equipment for oil-based mud treatment. It solves the problems of resource waste and pollution, improves efficiency, reduces costs, promotes the sustainable development of the drilling industry, and is an indispensable environmentally friendly and efficient treatment equipment in oilfield drilling operations.
