What is a Mud Cleaner?

Combining desander and desilter technology for comprehensive solids removal

Efficient Drilling Fluid Purification

A mud cleaner is an essential piece of solids control equipment that combines a desander, desilter, and fine mesh shale shaker to remove drilled solids from drilling fluid. This integrated system effectively separates particles ranging from 15 to 100 microns, making it an efficient solution for maintaining optimal drilling fluid properties.

JKZ mud cleaners are designed to handle high flow rates and demanding drilling conditions, providing reliable performance in various applications from oilfield drilling to HDD operations. Our equipment helps reduce drilling fluid costs, minimize waste disposal volumes, and improve overall drilling efficiency.

How Mud Cleaners Work

The integrated process of efficient solids removal in drilling fluid

Multi-Stage Separation Process

JKZ mud cleaners utilize a sophisticated multi-stage separation process to remove solids from drilling fluid. The system combines hydrocyclone technology with fine mesh screening to achieve superior solids control performance.

Drilling fluid first enters the desander section where larger particles (40-100 microns) are removed through centrifugal force. The partially cleaned fluid then progresses to the desilter section where finer particles (15-40 microns) are separated. Finally, the fluid passes over a fine mesh shale shaker screen that captures any remaining ultra-fine solids.

This integrated approach ensures maximum solids removal efficiency while preserving valuable drilling fluid components for reuse.

Mud Cleaner Working Principle
1

Inlet Distribution

Drilling fluid enters the mud cleaner and is evenly distributed to the hydrocyclone cones for initial processing.

2

Desander Stage

Larger particles (40-100 microns) are separated using centrifugal force in the desander cones.

3

Desilter Stage

Finer particles (15-40 microns) are removed in the desilter cones through high-speed rotation.

4

Final Screening

The fluid passes over fine mesh screens to remove any remaining ultra-fine solids before returning to the active system.

Mud Cleaner Applications

Versatile solutions for various drilling and fluid management applications

Oil & Gas Drilling Applications

JKZ mud cleaners are extensively used in oil and gas drilling operations to maintain optimal drilling fluid properties and remove drilled solids. They are particularly effective in weighted mud systems where traditional shale shakers may experience screen blinding.

Our mud cleaners help reduce drilling fluid costs by maximizing fluid recovery, minimize waste disposal volumes through efficient solids removal, and protect downstream equipment from abrasive particles.

Key benefits for oil and gas applications include improved rate of penetration, reduced torque and drag, better wellbore stability, and overall cost savings through efficient solids control.
