Cyclone is an important part in drilling mud cleaner, in the process of using mud cleaner, we should inspect regularly to ensure it can run normally.
Please pay attention to flowing points for inspection
1. Regularly check to ensure that the cone end is not blocked, which can take out spraying.
2. Make sure that the pressure head is sufficient in the inlet of the cyclone.
3. For each drilling work, at least do one time circulating treatment on drilling fluid in all the tank on the ground.
4. The shale shaker can not process less than 100 microns (140 mesh) solids, the desilter should be used in upstream of mud desander.
5. During or after the completion of the drilling, use some water to flush the pipe and check the wear of the cone.
Most of the cyclone through pumping into the water at the appropriate pressure head to reach the cone equilibrium. Then adjust the size of the bottom opening, so there is a small amount of water in the cone. In order to make the cone balance, when the circulating water to the 23m (0.22MPa) through the cone, increase (to make a wide) bottom displacement gradually. When the feed slurry contains large solid phase, the design requirements of the bottom end of the wet solid phase. If there are a lot of solid phase in the slurry, in order to separate completely, the discharging method can be discharged from the "umbrella" into "rope". “Rope “is characterized by a slow, cylindrical shape of the solid phase. Although the "rope" underflow density is larger than the "umbrella" underflow, but actual solid separation efficiency is lower. Therefore, it should be restored to the "umbrella" discharge as soon as possible.
