Vertical Ccentrifuge is the Primary Equipment for Drilling Waste Management

VC-1000 series Vertical Cuttings Dryer( Vertical Centrifuge) produced by KOSUN is a type of vertical centrifuge, which can perform solid/liquid separation through centrifugal separation. The vertical cuttings dryer can effectively recover the liquid phase in drilling cuttings, making the solid phase become very dry. It is suitable for water-base mud, oil-base mud and synthetic base mud. By recovering the mud in drilling cuttings, the vertical cuttings dryercan reduce the drilling cost and cut down environmental pollution. With handling capacity of 40-60 T/h, the oil on cuttings (OOC) of drilling cuttings can be reduced to lower than 5% (w/w) after treatment, meeting the international emissions standards and environmental protection requirements. The vertical centrifuge can also be applicable for drilling waste management in onshore and offshore drilling.

Vertical Cuttings Dryer is key equipment for drilling cuttings treatment. During drilling process, the customer may use water based mud for former stage operation, and oil base mud may be coming later for deep drilling operation. Some customer may buy two sets on line drilling cuttings treatment for water based mud and oil based mud separately. Some user want to reduce budget and only prepare one set on line drilling cuttings treatment for water based mud and oil based mud drilling cuttings.

The KOSUN Vertical Cutting Dryer returns and recycles large percentages of SBM (Synthetic Base Mud) and OBM (Oil Base Mud) to an active system which in the past was lost as waste products to the environment. KOSUN Vertical Cuttings Dryer can reduce total discharged OOC below 6%, which is currently the discharge limit in many areas of the world, in many areas of the world, our goal is 5% total OBM discharge to the environment, and our goal is not only to reach 5%,but also reduce the percentage further.
