By separating solids from the liquid phase, the system helps recover reusable drilling fluid and water where applicable, while reducing the volume and moisture content of drill cuttings requiring further handling or disposal. This helps improve drilling fluid utilization and supports more efficient waste management at the drilling site.

The system can be configured with different separation and conveying equipment according to drilling conditions, mud properties, waste characteristics and required treatment capacity. Its integrated configuration is suitable for land-based drilling projects where efficient water-based mud and cuttings treatment is required.

Key Benefits

• Efficient Solid-Liquid Separation: Separates drill cuttings and suspended solids from water-based drilling fluid for more effective waste handling.
• Drilling Fluid Recovery: Helps recover reusable drilling fluid and water, reducing fluid loss where process conditions allow.
• Reduced Waste Volume: Removes excess liquid from drill cuttings and reduces the volume of material requiring further disposal.
• Integrated System Design: Combines multiple treatment units into an integrated system to simplify installation and operation.
• Flexible Configuration: Equipment and treatment capacity can be configured according to project requirements and site conditions.

How the System Works

The water-based drilling waste treatment process typically includes:

Depending on the drilling fluid properties and project requirements, KOSUN can integrate equipment such as vibrating screens, centrifuges, screw conveyors and other separation units to achieve the required treatment performance.

Water-Based Drilling Waste Management System最先出现在Solids Control System, Slurry Treatment Plant, HDD mud recycling system-KOSUN。

During drilling operations, oil-based mud is separated from drill cuttings through a combination of mechanical conveying, centrifugal separation and fluid recovery processes.

The treatment system is designed to:

• Continuously receive and transfer drill cuttings from the drilling operation
• Separate recoverable drilling fluid from drill cuttings
• Reduce residual oil-based drilling fluid on treated cuttings
• Recover drilling fluids for potential reuse
• Reduce the volume of solids requiring transportation and final disposal
• Support cleaner and more efficient drilling waste management at the rig site

Key Equipment

The system can integrate the following equipment:

Vertical Cuttings Dryer
Uses high-speed centrifugal separation to remove drilling fluid from drill cuttings and improve liquid recovery.

High-Speed Decanter Centrifuge
Provides further solid-liquid separation of recovered drilling fluid and helps remove fine solids.

Screw Conveyor
Provides continuous and controlled transfer of drill cuttings between different treatment stages.

Skid-Mounted Tank
Provides process fluid collection and temporary storage within the integrated treatment system.

Slurry Pump and Agitator
Support stable fluid transfer and maintain solids suspension during treatment.

Cuttings Collection Container
Collects treated drill cuttings for subsequent transportation or disposal.

Treatment Process

The typical treatment process consists of:

The specific equipment configuration and process flow can be customized according to drilling fluid properties, cuttings characteristics, required capacity and site conditions.

Key Benefits

Efficient Continuous Treatment
Designed for continuous feeding and treatment to support uninterrupted drilling operations.

Improved Drilling Fluid Recovery
Separates recoverable drilling fluids from drill cuttings, helping reduce fluid losses and operating costs.

Reduced Residual Oil on Cuttings
The combination of centrifugal separation technologies helps reduce the amount of residual drilling fluid remaining on treated cuttings.

Reduced Waste Volume
Separating recoverable fluids from solids can reduce the volume of waste requiring transportation and final disposal.

Modular Skid-Mounted Design
The modular configuration facilitates transportation, installation and relocation between drilling sites.

Integrated PLC Control
Centralized control of major system components improves operational efficiency, monitoring and system safety.

Applications
