Regarding the desilter as the third class solid control equipment

Desilter is the third class solid control equipment to treat the drilling fluids. That is a centrifugal device for removing very fine particles, or silt from drilling fluids to keep the amount of solids in the fluid at the lowest possible point. Usually, the lower the solids content of mud is, the faster the rate of penetration is.

Application: A desilter is used to separate silts from drilling muds. The cut point can be as low as 4“. As muds are being used in drilling operations, they are contaminated with silts. In order to use these muds again, it is necessary to separate silts and also to recycle muds to dispose them at the end of work duty.

Design Principles: KOSUN CNQ series desilter is distinguished with Desander according to the size of the cone diameter. Generally, that of the cone of the diameter less than 6″ is called Desilter, and used as the third control equipment in drilling operation. We commonly used 5 "and 4" cone to separate solid-phase particle size 15-47μm in the drilling fluid. Desilter cone is different only in size from desander , working principle are exactly the same.

KOSUN drilling rig used in the solid control system adopts multi-function design, which made the complete solid control system could fulfill requirements of various well depth and all kinds of drilling mud. Each process unit can not only work independently but also work together. Kosun Company can design and assemble the complete system according to customers’ requirements.

Kosun possesses first-class factory buildings and equipment, has such process means as rivet welding, metal processing, surface cleaning, shot blasting automatic derusting, baking paint, assembling, material preparation, test, etc. and owns more than 800 sets of production and test equipment, such as large floor type boring machine, automatic welding operating line, large numerical controlled flame cutting machine and so on, which can meet the requirements of product R&D, production testing and technical services and produce over 50 sets of various circulating systems annually.
