Mud cleaner is the combination of bottom shale shaker, desander and desilter. DC Solid control completed the production of three cleaners for foreign customers.

This model Mud Cleaner combines 10” desander hydrocyclone(s) with smaller 4” hydrocyclones, effectively taking two “cuts” at the unwanted solids contaminating the fluid. The 10” remove large solids down to approximately 100 microns and the 4” can remove solids down to the 20 micron size range. The vibratory screening unit is designed to take the underflow of both size sets of hydrocylones and separate the concentrated solids from the liquid.

Application field:
Oilfield drilling mud solids removal
Water well drilling mud
Horizontal hole drilling mud (HDD)
Tunneling operations
Coal bed methane drilling (CMD)

The Mud Cleaner requires two pumps to operate, with the pump feeding the 10” cyclones typically taking a suction from a compartment upstream from the compartment from which the other pump takes its suction to feed the 4” hydrocyclones.

The Mud Cleaner will be designed to handle the entire circulating volume of whichever system in which it is operating. Mud Cleaners are effective on both weighted and un-weighted drilling-fluid systems in removing and drying solids while retaining the expensive liquid phase. Used correctly, the Mud Cleaner can lower both drilling fluid and disposal costs.

Mud cleaner and shale shaker are the very important for solid control system. DC Solid control shipped a set of shale shaker and mud cleaner to Malaysia client last
week.

Shale shaker and mud cleaner also called Mud cleaning unit, which to control solids in drilling process. Mud cleaning is well-suited to types of mud as follows.

Water/Light Treated Clay mud.
Dispersed weighted mud.
Un-weighted drilling mud of non-dispersed .
Weighted drilling mud of non-dispersed

shale shaker

The shale shaker is vital to the solids control system and is considered the “first line of defense”. Shakers act by removing solids from drilling fluid as the mud passes over the surface of a vibrating screen. Particles smaller than the openings in the screen pass through the holes of the screen along with the liquid phase of the mud.

Particles too large to pass through the screen are thereby separated from the mud for disposal. Without proper screening of the drilling fluid during this initial removal step, downstream equipment will experience reduced efficiency and effectiveness. The downstream hydrocyclones and/or centrifuges (if elected) will simply be overloaded beyond their design capacity.

With our in-house engineering and design capabilities, DC Solid control can integrate any number of hydrocyclone arrangements with any of our shakers. In all cases, DC Solid control’s hydrocyclones come with polyurethane bodies, where erosion resistant inserts are available. Standard hydrocyclone cone sizes available include 4”, 5”, 10”, and 12” and can be provided in arrangements of one to 20 cones.

The first step in using a mud cleaner is to send the mud through a hydrocyclone, because it would be too thick for the cleaner to effectively work with. A hydrocyclone is a device that uses force to push purified mud through the top of the cyclone as thicker particles pass through the bottom section. Anything that goes through the bottom section then meets the mud cleaner.

Drilling fluids mud cleaner is the second or third stage drilling fluids solids control equipment in drilling fluids recycling system. This Mini cleaner will handle the solids particle after being treated by the first grade separation equipment. Following is the introduction of the Mini mud cleaner.

Work Process of Mud cleaner:

The weighted mud flows to the inlet head section of the desander and/or desilter entering the hydrocyclones for separation of particles. Mud leaving the underflow is further screened with fine mesh to separate larger particles allowing only barite-size particles to pass through the screen.

Mud cleaner is a combination of desander and desilter and mounted over a shale shaker with a fine mesh screen. A mud is fed to the inlet of hydrocyclone to separate particles and the underflow passes to the fine mesh where in particles larger than barite are discarded and thrown away. It is the second and third phase cleaning equipment for a whole solids control system.

How To Choose a Mud Cleaner: 

Mud flow: Mud cleaner mud flow is decided by desander & desilter size and qty. The desander cone normally choose 10 inch size and desilter cone choose 4 inch size. Once cone size is fixed, the mud flow will be fixed depending on cone qty.
Bottom shaker: The bottom shaker will work to dry solids out of desander & desilter cone nozzle. The larger shaker deck will help for dry product and smaller shaker deck will save cost.
Electrical standard: Different area may require different standard like IECEX, ATEX, UL, DGMS, etc. Before order any equipment, please confirm electrical standard.
Customized design: Cone size and qty can be customized design to reach different mud flow and performance.

The mud cleaners and are available in different configurations to meet customer requirements. 2-panel, 3-panel or 4-panel shakers are available with desanders and and/or high-volume desilters. Our new hydrocyclones technology replaces the conventional desanders and desilters cones with significant benefits.

DCQJ Mud Cleaner is the second stage and the third stagesolids control equipment which is a combination of Desander, Desilter and underflow shaker shaker. Comparing with
traditional separate Desander and Desilter, the mud cleaner has a higher cleaning function. The Underflow Screen equals another shaler shaker which receives the waste out from
the cyclone nozzle for additional processing. So that mud cleaner could recover more valuable drilling mud. Mud cleaner is the ideal device of the second class and the third
class solid control to treat the drilling mud.

The mud cleaner integrate a group of de-sanding cyclones and de-silting cyclones on one vibrating screen. The drilling fluid will firstly pass the de-sanding cyclones or de-silting cyclones for separation, with overflow returning to the circulatory system and the bottom flow screened and treated by the vibrating screen. If necessary, the vibrating screen of the integrator could be used as the fore-stage vibrating screen.

Mud cleaners are used to remove drill cuttings from drilling fluid, known as mud. The mud is a non-Newtonian fluid of variable viscosity that serves several purposes in drilling operations. Mud is used to drive the down-hole motor, cool the drilling bit, carry the drill cutting to the surface for disposal, and maintain hydrostatic balance in the well.

The mud cleaner is designed to remove the drill cuttings while allowing the weighted fillers of the mud, commonly barite, to stay suspended in the mud. The cuttings, consisting of solids greater than 74 to 105 micrometers, are filtered out in the staged process of the mud cleaner.

The model of the mud cleaner  is DCQJ100X12/200×8 with the inlet capacity is 240m3/h. And With compact structure, small footprint and great efficiencty, it is the ideal choice as the second or the third phase solids control equipments. As the famous Mud Cleaner Manufacturer and Exporter in China, DC Solid control designs and manufacture the DCQJ Series Mud Cleaner for sale and customized the mud cleaner according to customers’ request.

Mud cleaners are just one of the many solids control and waste management offerings that BRANDT supplies to the oil and gas industry. Quality Management System is ISO 9001-2000 certified.

Mud cleaners were first designed to remove fine drilled solids from weighted muds without excessive loss of barite and fluid. Their primary purpose now is to de-sand weighted muds. Due to advancements in fine screening at the flowline, the mud conditioner’s use in the weighted hole section is much more limited than in previous decades.

Mud cleaners are the combination of desander, desilter and bottom deck shaker. Typically, multiple desander cones (12 in or 10 in) and desilter cones (4 in) are mounted above the screen deck of a shale shaker. The size of the solids (in microns) removed by these units is directly correlated to the size of the cone.

The larger the cone, the larger the size of the particle removed and vice-versa. The mud is fed first through the hydrocyclones, where it subsequently cascades down over the shale shaker. The remaining solids, including barite, are returned to the mud system.

Mud cleaners are two-stage solids control equipment that are composed of several hydrocyclones mounted over a vibrating screen, known as a shale shaker. Mud cleaners are used to remove solids from drilling fluid and act as 2nd and 3rd phase solids control equipment.
