What is CEC?

Chemically Enhanced Centrifugation, CEC, otherwise known as flocculation, is a method to enhance the remove of fine solids in WBM through a vertical centrifuge. Small quantities of additives are mixed with theused WBM, which coagulate and flocculate fine colloidal solids into larger clumps, which are then easily removed using a centrifuge.CEC reduces the volume of waste mud generated as it allows the clarified fluid to be reused to build new drilling fluids. Overall the total volume of waste, the size of the pits, and the quantity of water required per well are all reduced.
During drilling with WBM, fine colloidal solids build up, eventually leading to a requirement to dump or dilute. CEC offers an alternative a sit allow the fine particles to be coagulated, flocculated and removed by the use of a centrifuge. A coagulant is added to neutralise the negative charges holding the fine colloidal particles apart followed a flocculent (typically a polymer) to bridge together the small floccs into larger clumps, which can then be removed by gravity separation or a centrifuge.
The CEC system is a containerized compact unit designed to meter in the correct quantities of both coagulants and flocculent. It has tanks to store the prepared chemical solutions and metering pumps to accurately dose them into a mud mixing line. The flocculated mud should be centrifuged at low speed to ensure the clumps are not broken up by excessive shear.
Benefits of chemically enhanced centrifugation :
1. Overall reduction in water usage and increased recycling
2. Smaller pit volumes and in closed loop system no need for a reserve pit
3. Reduced environmental impact
4. Real time mixing reduces overall chemical consumption
5. Powder polymer unit reduces chemical consumption

Three-in-one drilling fluids recycling equipment mud cleaner

Three-in-one mud cleaner, a combination of desander, desilter and high efficient shale shaker, can further separate the smaller solid particles left in the mud after primary treatment in shale shaker for a better treatment in the following equipment. MD Mud Cleaner can serve as independent equipment, or as spare equipment in parallel with first-stage solids control equipment--shale shaker by mere application of its underflow shaker.
Drilling fluids enters from the mud compartment under vacuum degasser into desander via the force of its pump, flows into the compartment under desander after treatment, accesses desilter by mud pump and then goes for further treatment in decanter centrifuge through spillway trough afterwards.
The mud cleaner will be an ideal and then efficient cleaning gear for two-level or three-level solid phase control associated with the drilling mud because of its compact structure, tiny space occupation coupled with potent functions. The mud cleaner is combined and configured by one to three greatly wear-resistant polyurethanedesander hydrocyclone and eight to sixteen fairly wear-resistant polyurethane desilter hydrocyclones. Diameters for its overflow pipe and feed pipe are bigger while taper angles associated with the cone are smaller-sized.

A tilted metallic groove fixed with the center shaft is used inside the mortar steering component to manage flow direction about the mortar. The cyclone group arranged in circle is employed together with the rectangular recycling vibrating screen. The function connected with the mud cleaner is to cope with larger drilling cuttings in the mud in order to ensure the remedy impact. What’s more, the mud cleaner has such positive factors as lower energy consumption, higher efficiency, larger screening precision, less noise, straightforward and handy installment, basic maintenance, longer service life, larger efficiency in drilling solids separation, simple structures, reduced costs and additional convenience in movement and relocation.

Why do more people select KOSUN shale shaker?

As we know, drilling fluid shale shaker is the first stage solids control equipment in the mud cleaning system, also it is the obbligatory equipment of the whole drilling. So the function of it directly influences the whole drilling mud system, now let me introduce you two quality shale shakers. KOSUN shale shakers offer an ideal combination of high efficiency, flexibility, space optimization and longer service time. It can adapt quickly as drilling conditions and cuttings volumes change, creating lower waste volumes, costs, downtime and environmental footprint. It has the following features:
1. Structure is optimized with less quick-wear parts, compact and modular form can meet tight-space requirements.
2. Fully seam welded,heat treatment on complete shaker basket and base.
3. Fitted with high strength coil or rubber isolator spring, it results in consistent vibration isolation with variable loading.
4. Shaker surface is painted with heavy anticorrosive marine coatings, completely following sand blasting and paint spraying process, having superb anti-corrosion properties, fast colours and high gloss.
5. Vibratory motion driving G-force in 7.5 G’s producing drier cuttings discharge and improved separation efficiency.
6. Feeder can present fluid to the scalping screens as a uniform, low-impact curtain, utilizing all available screen area, regardless of drilling conditions.
7. Spare parts and consumables have been designed to ensure the lowest replacement cost and long-term product durability.
