Advantages of KOSUN Oilfield Drilling Fluids Mud Agitator

Mud agitator is used in surface drilling mud system to suspend solids and maintain homogeneous mixture through the system. KOSUN mud agitator is a mechanical agitator driven by an explosion-proof motor,coupled to a gear box that drives the impeller shaft. KOSUN mud agitator mix the suspend the solids using both axial and radial flows,and by utilizing low shear mixers to suspend and mix mud additives particle size degradation and polymer shear.unlike centrifugal pumps or mud guns. KOSUN mud agitator is relatively low shear and low energy device.
A mud agitator is used in surface mud systems to suspend solids and maintain homogeneous mixture throughout the system. A mechanical agitator is driven by an explosion-proof motor, coupled to a gear box that drives the impeller shaft. The impellers (turbines) transform mechanical power into fluid circulation or agitation. The objective is to obtain a uniform suspension of all solids.
Mud agitator composed by explosion-proof motor, reducer, engine base and impeller components four parts. The motor and the speed reducer, reducer and the impeller shaft are connected through rigid coupling. Impeller consists of four blades welding formed. The impeller can make the mixing liquid to produce the vortex motion, thereby enhancing the mixing effect. Caught in the middle of the blade tray can also prevent downtime mud particles deposited on the lower leaves around, such use can reduce the starting resistance torque of sediment on the blade, thereby avoiding overload and burnout motor .
Features and Benefits of KOSUN Mud Agitator:
1.Small footprint without skid.
2.Helical-Bevel gearbox.
3.Motor can be horizontal or vertical.
4.Longer usable life on motor and gear box.
5.Require less space also easy to handle.
6.High efficiency, low noise, low operating temperature.
7.Adaptable for different application.
8.Painting: Heavy anti-corrosion paint
9.Spraying Processing: grinding and sandblasting;with base coating, middle coating and finish coating.

Drilling fluid centrifugal pump plays an important role in solids control system

The centrifugal pump plays an important role for drilling mud transfer in solid control system. Such as, the drilling from mud tank to shale shaker, the pump is the connection as bridge. As the object is drilling mud from deep ground ,our pump is designed for anti-abrasive, anti-corrosive with a long service life. These pumps are designed for a wide range of flow rates, from a few gallons per minute to thousands of gallons per minute.
A complete drilling mud centrifugal pump is consist of motor and pump head, while the pump head is mainly consist of volute casing, impeller & shaft, etc. When the fluids flow into the suction eye of impeller, through the impeller rotatory, effected by the centrifugal force, it would be pushed towards to the volute casing, and the centrifugal force on the drilling fluids would also be increasing, and is discharged to the destination space. Thus, the pressure at the impeller suction eye would be reduced, which would leads more fluids flowing into the pump.
The pump adopts the axial suction structure, horizontal or vertical structure, composed of a motor, a pump seat, a pump shell, an impeller etc., using shear coupling (horizontal pump) or plum coupling (vertical) connection, mechanical or combined sealing structure, the main vice impeller combination.
Centrifugal pump is used for transferring drilling mud. It can be used as feeding pump for mud desander, desilter, or used as mixing pump for Jet Mud Mixer. Also it can be used as trip pump,and supercharging pump for rig mud pump. All KOSUN model centrifugal pumps use tungsten carbide mechanical seal, with famous brand Bearing. And spare parts interchangeable with most of the international Brand pump which helps customer to source spare parts easily. Open impeller design that lowers axial thrust loads, and make it easier for installation, repair and maintenance.

Desanders and desilters is the necessary solids control equipments

Desanders and desilters are solid control equipment with a set of hydrocyclones that separate sand and silt from the drilling fluids in drilling rigs. Desanders are installed on top of the mud tank following the shale shaker and the degasser, but before the desilter. Desander removes the abrasive solids from the drilling fluids which cannot be removed by shakers. Normally the solids diameter for desander to be separated would be 45~74μm, and 15~44μm for desilter. A centrifugal pump is used to pump the drilling fluids from mud tank into the set of hydrocyclones.
Desanders have no moving parts. The larger the internal diameter of the desander is, the greater the amount of drilling fluids it is able to process and the larger the size of the solids removed. A desander with a (10 inches (250 mm) cone) is able to remove 50% of solids within the 40-50 μm (micrometer) range at a flow rate of 500 US gallons per minute (32 L/s), while desilter (4 inches (100 mm) Cone) is able to remove 50% of solids within the 15-20 μm range at a flow rate of 60 US gallons per minute (3.8 L/s). Micro-fine separators are able to remove 50% of solids within the 10-15 μm range at a flow rate of 15 US gallons per minute (0.95 L/s). A desander is typically positioned next-to-last in the arrangement of solids control equipment, with a decanter centrifuge as the

subsequent processing unit. Desanders are preceded by gas busters, gumbo removal equipment (if utilized), shale shaker, mud cleaner (if utilized) and a vacuum degasser. Desanders are widely used in oilfield drilling. Practice has proved that hydrocyclone desander is a kind equipment of economic and effective.
The desander device is used for clarifying recover mud in circulation hole, It can cut down construction cost and reduce environmental pollution. It is necessary equipment for civilized construction. Consists of 10“ or 12“ hydraulic cones and manifold with convenient maintenance. The cones are made of high degree wear resiatant material which ensures a longer working life. The underflow opening controls the capacity by adjusting its size. KOSUN possesses a professional solid control engineers team to provide our clients with complete worldwide service, including solid control equipment and system manufacturing, OEM production, equipment lease, drilling rig system design and manufacturing as well as installation, debugging, maintenance and training of KOSUN products.

Maintenance and advantages of KOSUN mud cleaner

The drilling mud cleaner is the cost-effective second class and third class solid control equipment in oil and gas well drilling fluids system as well as in HDD mud recycling system. It can process both weighted and unweighted drilling fluid system by separating and drying solids with the needed fluid left for further processing. After the processing via hydrocyclones of desander and desilter, the primary separation with underflow directs onto the vibrating screen of shaker. If the product is used correctly, both the cost of drilling fluid and disposal can be reduced largely.
Maintenance
Drilling fluid mud cleaner desander group and desilter group needn’t the special maintenance, we should check the hydrocyclone wearing condition at regular period, if the thickness of any one of hydrocyclone decrease reached to 50% must be replaced; And we should often check screen wearing condition, according to the damaged condition to sectional repair or replace the whole screen.
