How Vertical Cutting Dryer Process the Flow of Drilling Waste

The Brightway vertical cuttings dryer returns and recycles large percentages of water-based mud or oil-based mud to an active drilling waste management system which in the past was lost as waste products to the environment. Vertical Centrifuge can reduce total discharged OOC below 10%, which is currently the discharge limit in many areas of the world, our goal is 5% total OBM discharge to the environment, and even further.

Curing, drying incineration, biological degradation treatment methods will be described briefly..The flow of cuttings into the vertical cutting dryer is PLC-controlled and continuously fed to yield optimum liquid/ solid separation. Once cutting dryer are introduced into the dryer’s charge hopper, widely spaced, independently adjustable flights continuously direct cuttings to the shale shaker screen surface.Drilling in the oil drilling process, the use of loop holes flushing medium, also known as the drilling fluid.

The DWM Solids control of vertical centrifuge is capable of processing over 50 tons per hour and VERTI-G dryer shaker can deliver dry solids under the most severe loading. Vertical cuttings dryer has seen duty on rigs where instantaneous drilling conditions have reached 300ft per hour and was able to process these rates comfortably.
