Hydrocyclone installation Tips
Hydrocyclones should be located so that underflow can be removed with a minimum of trouble and wash-down water. They should be located so they are accessible for maintenance and evaluation. Discharge overflow should return to the circulating system into a compartment immediately downstream of the suction compartment. At the same time, the discharge overflow compartment must be bottom equalized with the suction compartment and drilling fluid should backflow from the discharge tank into the...
Procedure
Dewatering of drilling fluids while drilling is the final step when removing solids from excess fluid. All solids are removed from the drilling fluid, related sludge, and waste water. The recovered water is normally reused as treatment water in the active mud system. This process is now relatively common in environmentally sensitive areas. Although the process is expensive, it can be cost effective in areas where disposal costs are excessive. In many areas, the cost of drilling fluid disposal...
Protection Classes Relating to Enclosures
The ingress protection code IP , published as European Standard EN 60 529, provides for enclosures that Protect against contact with live or moving parts Protect against entry of solid foreign matter Protect against water entry TABLE 12-2. Widely Used Electric-motor Enclosures Open motors IEC class IP 00 have ventilating openings for passage of external air over and around the windings for cooling purposes. Drip-proof motors IEC class IP 12 are open motors protected from entry of liquids or...

Discharge
Most hydrocyclones are designed to be balanced. A properly adjusted, balanced hydrocyclone has a spray discharge at the underflow outlet and exhibits a central air suction core. A balanced cyclone can be adjusted so that when water is fed under pressure, nothing discharges at the apex. Conversely, when coarse solids are added to the feed slurry, wet solids are discharged at the apex. Even with this adjustment, there still should be a large opening in the bottom of the cyclone. This will confirm...

The Evolution Of Solids Separation Devices
As mentioned previously, during the 1920s, the oil well drilling industry recognized the need to remove cuttings from the drilling fluid. The mining industry used stationary, vibrating screens for classifying larger pieces of ore from smaller pieces. These screens were adapted to separate cuttings from the drilling fluid in an evolutionary process, which has continued through time to yield the sophisticated solids control systems used today. The early machines were called screens not shakers,...
