KES Separation drilling cuttings system is mainly composed of screw conveyor, vertical cutting dryer, telescopic skid with mud recovery tank and agitator, mud transfer pump, cuttings collection skip etc. KES Separation drilling cuttings clean system is used to separate and recycle the oil-based mud adhering to the drill cuttings, and minimize the volume of drill cuttings in order to save cost of thermal unit operation.
For OBM cuttings, the system can reduce the OOC- oil on cuttings to 3~5%
For WBM cuttings, we don't recommend to use vertical cuttings dryer.
The drill cuttings system can recycle the drilling fluids for reuse to save drilling cost
The drill cuttings system can reduce the volume of final cuttings to save cost of thermal operation.
| S/N | Product | Working Description |
| 1 | Vertical Cuttings Dryer | KSCD-930 with fixed speed control panel or VFD control panel; the Vertical-G dryer is specialized for OMB drill cuttings treatment, it normally the oil on cuttings (OOC index) to 3~5%. This is already very mature product after many years manufacturing experience. |
| 2 | Screw conveyor | Used to collect the drill cuttings discharged from shaker, and transfer to feed to vertical dryer. One horizontal conveyor can be laid beneath the shaker outlet, and the other inclined conveyor can help to convey to the feed hopper of vertical dryer. |
| 3 | Telescopic skid | The skid is used to support the vertical dryer, to collect the recycled OBM discharged from the vertical dryer, transfer pump installed on the skid will transfer the OBM back to the active solids control system. Screw pump is equipped to transfer the recovered OBM back to the active tank system. |
| 4 | Mud Skips | Mud skips or cuttings tanks can be used to collect the cuttings discharged from vertical dryer; and then they will be sent to the Thermal Desorption Unit for final treatment. |
| 5 | Remark | This type of cuttings treatment system is usually applied to onshore drilling operation. For offshore rig, because of the limited space, the user normally can only source the vertical cuttings dryer. |
