Know-how to Operate Drilling Fluids Hydrocyclone

As a key part of drilling fluids solids control equipment desander and desilter for separating solids, hydrocyclones in different specifications work against different diameters and for different cleannesses. Besides, separation capacity is closely related with cyclone diameter since larger diameter is aimed at larger particles while smaller one contends with smaller particles.

I. Installation & Maintenance of Hydrocyclone:

1. Desander ought to be installed on a well-prepared, flat foundation or merely on the ground. Then three expansion bolts are adequate to keep the base stable on the foundation built with concrete, which has a round or square surface and is 150mm high.

2. Take notice of the pipelines and flow directions in the installation.

3. Surface configuration of mud tank ought to include some space for operators. Though no maintenance is necessary for desander when it has no mobile parts, it is important to maintain a stable load at the inlet and proper force towards the drain valve, and to keep it from human damage.

II. Attention to Adjustment of Hydrocyclone:

1. It is not allowed to decommission the desander out of personal will.

2. It is proper to install the desander behind the untra-deepwater pump.

3. The system may automatically pause periodically or seasonally. Before that happens, certain amount of corrosion inhibitors or excessive high water level protection can be applied to reduce corrosion and protect system.
