The Vertical Cutting Dryer from KOSUN incorporates a high –speed vertical dryer that achieves maximum liquids/solids separation in large-volume processing .It gives operators a critical advantage in meeting increasingly stringent environmental regulations for onshore and offshore cutting disposal.
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 Cutting 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.
The vertical cutting dryer incorporates a high-speed vertical centrifuge that achieves maximum liquid/solid separation in large-volume processing. This mechanism makes the VERTI-G dryer one of the industry’s best performing and most dependable cutting dryers. The VERTI-G dryer gives operators a critical advantage in meeting increasingly stringent environmental rules for cuttings disposal. The flow of cuttings into the VERTI-G dryer is PLC-controlled and continuously fed to yield optimum liquid/ solids separation. Once cuttings are introduced into the dryer’s charge hopper, widely spaced, independently adjustable flights continuously direct cuttings to the screen surface. Flights are tungsten carbide coated to reduce wear and ensure optimum tolerance.
The vertical cutting dryer is capable of processing over 50 tons per hour and can deliver dry solids under the most severe loading. Vertical centrifuge has seen duty on rigs where instantaneous drilling conditions have reached 300ft per hour and was able to process these rates comfortably. The vertical cutting dryer has been used on many types of fluids, including drilling fluids of both synthetic and diesel based mud. As with all liquid separation equipment, like shakers, centrifuges and dryers, viscosity will have an impact on performance.
KOSUN machinery can design and manufacture the complete line of drilling waste management system,including shale shaker,mud cleaner,vertical cutting dryer,decanter centrifuge,centrifugal pump,etc.
