Mud Desander

Mud Desander

Mud Desander also called Drilling Fluid Desander. It is composed of hydraulic desander hydrocyclone, mud shale shaker and cyclone pipe. TRCS series mud desander uses centrifugal force to separate. It uses centrifugal pump to supply mud, then the mud flow into hydrocyclone along tangent of cyclone, and the mud's structure was destroyed under the action of centrifugal force. Under the action of gravity, solid particles along the inner wall sink spirally and was discharged from the bottom of cyclone then falls on the following drilling shale shaker, liquid was discharged from the top of the cyclone.

Working Principle of Mud Desander

Mud desander uses centrifugal force to separate solid particles from drilling fluid. Driven by a centrifugal sand pump, mud enters the hydrocyclone tangentially. Under high centrifugal force, solids (45–75μm) sink along the inner wall and discharge to the shale shaker, while clean fluid exits the top.

Advantages of Mud Desander

• Long life

• Small separation point

• Less blockage

Desander cyclone uses high chromium cast iron or pure polyurethane material, customers can choose independently. We can exchange it with an international brand.

The cyclone has long lifetime and light weight, and easy to maintain. High separation ability and wide separation range. It can remove solid particles from 45 um to 1mm.

Cyclone underflow is pressurized umbrella "wet bottom" to quickly discharge the particles in the separation zone, reducing the blocking probability.

Application Scenarios

Oil & gas drilling, coalbed methane extraction, directional drilling, tunnel boring machine (TBM), river dredging, pile foundation engineering.

API Certified Mud Desander Technical Parameters

Desander for drilling fluids solids control

Oilfield mud Desander is the third phase solids control equipment in the drilling fluids recycling system, separating the solids in 47-76μm from the drilling fluid. In the drilling solids control system used in the front of desilter and behind of shale shaker.

Solids Control Desander Used in the removal of pile foundation engineering and slurry balance shield.

Why Choose TR Solids Control

Chinese manufacturer with API certification, 15+ years of solids control experience. Our mud desander can replace international brands like Derrick and Swaco, with stable performance and competitive price.
