How is Dryer Shaker Working in Drilling Waste Management?

KOSUN develops dryer shaker,vertical cuttings dryerdrying shakerdecanter centrifuge, screw conveyor, screw pump and other first-class high-performance drilling waste management system, taking “zero discharge of drilling waste” as the drilling waste treatmentstandard.

Hi-g dryer shaker reduces the liquid/oil content drilling cuttings to as low as about 10%(w/w) and recover part of the drilling mud,so that the drilling cost can be reduced and the drilling waste volume can be cut down,for the purpose of reducing environmental pollution.

Hi-G dryer shaker and vertical cuttings dryer can be introduced as drill cuttings usually take away much drilling mud and thus raise drilling cost. Hi-G dryer manages oil content and water content down to 10% from 30% while vertical cuttings dryer lowers oil on cuttings below 5%, to the greatest degree, with small rotary speed and centrifugal filtration. Either of them is effective to recover drilling mud and shrink drilling cost.

KOSUN is a professional oilfield drilling mud Hi-G Dryer shaker supplier and manufacturer in China oil drilling mud solids control and drilling waste management industry. As a pioneer in this industry, KOSUN is capable of providing customers with series products, such as oil & gas drilling fluid solids control equipment, decanter centrifuge, drilling waste management equipment and drilling security equipment.

Hi-G Dryer Shaker of Solids Control Equipment by Kosun Manufacturer

Hi-G Dryer Shaker

Hi-G dryer shaker  is used to recover mud from cuttings to reduce the liquid / oil content in the cuttings to about 10% (w / w) and to recover part of the drilling mud to reduce drilling costs and reduce drilling waste Volume, reduce environmental pollution.  Drying shaker screen for WBM and OBM.

Hi-G dryer shaker is the key component in solids control equipment used in drilling industry. Drilling operations use a borehole technology to penetrate deep beneath the surface to reach the fossil fuel, in this pursuit the mud-loggers first need to do a sampling to ascertain the depth and quality of rock they are penetrating.

The drilling bit will carry with itself drilling cuttings, essentially the rock shavings, mixed with drilling mud. The mud-loggers will extract these shavings from the drilling bit for their further analysis. As explained earlier in the article, the drilling fluid is quite expensive so it is imperative for the operators to restore the drilling fluid from the drilling waste . For this purpose various solid control equipments are used, among them a shale shaker is the foremost.

Hi-G dryer shaker with the help of shaker screens helps in separating the drilling cuttings from drilling fluid, and the separated drilling fluid is channeled to a separate container for further processing and treatment. The dried solid, i.e. drilling cuttings are conveyed to a separate container for further treatment and disposal.

One very important factor in the solid control system is its contribution for environmental balance. If a solid control system is not efficient enough, it is likely that the drill cuttings will still carry some amount of drilling fluid that contains chemicals which could be really harmful for the environment and cause contamination of soil or ground water. The drilling industry follows strict rules on drilling waste management  for the sake of environmental impact.

In conclusion, drying shaker’s main function is to filter the drilling waste with the help of an effective shaker screen and as a result help in economy of overall drilling operations and environmental prevention.

Hi-G Shaker Main Functions and Structure of Kosun

Hi-G Shaker

Hi-G Shaker is an integral tool to separate drilling  waste from the drill rigs. They are used in industries like oil and gas, coal cleaning and mining. It is impossible to function in a drilling industry without making ample use of Hi-G shaker. They serve as the purification channels for the drill rigs. They remove solids by processing them finely.

The structure of the Hi-G shaker consists of five equipments mainly,
1- Hopper
It is also known as “underflow” and “base.” It is an important tool for the Shale Shaker and works as a large vessel or pot for collecting the fluids that have been processed. It should be ordered depending upon the requirements of the mud system. The larger quantities of mud would require a Hopper of a different depth.
2- Feeder
A Feeder is a collection pan for the drilling fluids before they are processed. Some feeders are equipped with a specialized technique that helps the drilling fluid move through the shaker without any obstruction or hindrance and move inside the hopper and back into the mid system prior to purification. The most commonly used feeder is called a weir feeder.
3- Screen Basket
It is an impeccable and extra-ordinary part of the machine as it shakes and moves with perfect ease while the other parts of the machine carry forward the cleaning process. It aids in better functioning of the Hi-g drying  shaker. It must simplify the working and further maintenance of the machine.
4- Basket Angling Mechanism
The shaker basket must be fully equipped and designed as per the flow of the drilling fluids. It is accommodating enough to change the angle as per the flow of liquids. The flow could be divided into two categories, namely, Pool and Beach.
5- Vibrator
This is a specialized motor used for applying vibrating force and motion to the shaker bed. It also used a set of eccentric weights to provide and unidirectional force.
