Complete Solids Control System Overview

The drilling fluid solids control system, also known as the mud purification system, primarily controls and separates solids in the drilling fluid to achieve recycling. This system plays a vital role in petroleum drilling operations, especially for oil well drilling at depths ranging from 3000 to 9000 meters.

Core Function: The system utilizes various physical methods to remove solid particles such as drill cuttings and sand from drilling fluid, maintaining the fluid's physical and chemical properties to ensure smooth drilling operations.

System Composition & Design

The complete solids control system consists of 3 to 7 modular combined tanks, each with specific functions including purification, separation, and storage. Key design features include:

  • Novel Cone-Bottom Structure: Purification tanks feature cone-bottom design with mud agitation systems at the edges to prevent sand settling
  • 5-Stage Purification Equipment: Complete system includes shale shakers, desander & desilter cleaners, vacuum degassers, mud centrifuges, and agitators
  • Modular Tank Design: Cold-pressed corrugated sheets for high strength and aesthetic appearance suitable for various applications
  • Internal Layout: Sloped bottom panels for easy sediment cleaning with rational piping layout for smooth mud flow control
  • Safety Features: Equipment with guardrails and walkways requiring no disassembly, facilitating transportation and installation

System Applications & Benefits

Solid Phase Control: Through mechanical separation principles, the system separates solid phase components in drilling fluid based on particle size and density differences.

Solid-Liquid Separation: Utilizing multi-stage filtration equipment, the system removes solid particles to achieve fluid purification and recycling.

Environmental Protection: By significantly reducing mud discharge volume (up to 60% reduction), the system offers substantial environmental benefits and compliance with regulations.

Drilling Efficiency Improvement: Maintaining stable drilling fluid performance and enabling repeated recycling enhances overall drilling operation efficiency by up to 30%.
