10"Desander Cone Assembly

The Derrick 10" Desander Cone Assembly is a high-efficiency hydrocyclone used in oil and gas drilling operations to separate solid particles in the 40–100 micron range from drilling mud. As the core component of desander unit, this cyclone assembly handles high flow rates while maintaining consistent separation efficiency.

TR Solids Control's 10-inch hydrocyclone is a direct replacement for the Derrick 6066-51, matching the original in installation dimensions, performance parameters, and maintenance compatibility.

Derrick Desander Hydrocyclone Parts List

Working Principle

The drilling fluid desander operates on centrifugal separation:

1. Drilling mud enters tangentially into the upper section under pressure

2. Centrifugal force drives denser solids toward the cone walls

3. Solids spiral downward to the apex as underflow

4. Clarified mud exits through the vortex finder at the top as overflow

Interchange Assurance

Precise Dimensional Match

TR's 10-inch desander hydrocyclone replicates Derrick's core structural parameters: inlet and outlet specifications, mounting hole locations, external dimensions, and coupling type. Existing pipework, brackets, and support structures need no alteration. The desander cone installs as a standalone replacement or as part of multi-cone modular assembly.

Material and Performance Parity

The cone body is manufactured from high-wear-resistant polyurethane, consistent with Derrick's material specification — low weight, strong abrasion resistance, and extended service life. Separation particle size range, throughput capacity, and working pressure all meet Derrick standards. The underflow outlet uses the same nozzle-style design as Derrick, reducing nozzle clogging. Wear parts and nozzles are interchangeable with Derrick equivalents.

Cross-Application Compatibility

TR hydrocyclones comply with API and ISO standards, covering the same application scope as Derrick units. Suitable for oilfield drilling fluid solids control, mineral processing classification, and tailings treatment. Whether replacing a standalone Derrick hydrocyclone or fitting into an inclined multi-cone system, overall equipment efficiency is preserved with no changes to process parameters or operating procedures.
