Shear Pump The shear pump is also called shearing pump and mud shear pump, which is a centrifugal pump but used for shearing of drilling mud chemicals, shearing the bentonite. Shear pump KOSUN SP Series  Shear Pump  is mainly used for a quick concoction of high-performance mud so that the time spent on it will be greatly shortened and wells' economic benefits increased. Working Principle; Shear pump  designed to shear of polymer drilling fluid and clay, polymer drilling fluid system (or clay) sufficiently should be cut in advance, and then into the drilling fluid systems, improved drilling fluid properties, can give full play to its effectiveness, if not fully cut polymer loops may plug the vibrating screen for the first time, a significant loss of polymer, increases drilling costs,And may make the bigger solids particles too hard to cuttings ; shear pump can reduce the use of polymer at least 15%, save amount of 30% bentonite, reduce the loss of mud cake and fluid f

Centrifugal Pump Centrifugal pump is a kind of pump to  deliver the liquid by  centrifugal force  generated by  the rotation of the impeller, which  is used for transporting drilling mud. It can be used as feeding pump for desander, desilter,  or as mixing pump for jet mud mixer. The centrifugal pump also called as the  sand pump, it  can also be used as trip pump and supercharging pump for rig mud pump. Centrifugal pump Like most pumps, a centrifugal pump converts rotational energy, often from a motor, to energy in a moving fluid. A portion of the energy goes into kinetic energy of the fluid. Fluid enters axially through eye of the casing, is caught up in the impeller blades, and is whirled tangentially and radially outward until it leaves through all circumferential parts of the impeller into the diffuser part of the casing. The fluid gains both velocity and pressure while passing through the impeller. The doughnut-shaped diffuser, or scroll, the section of the casing dece

Jet Mud Mixer The jet mud mixer is designed to maintain the uniformity of drilling fluid and to suspend the solid particles and to conduct continuous and reliable drilling mud solid control system for drilling fluid. It is mainly used in the mixing of drilling fluid, so as to stabilize the circulating drilling fluid and mix evenly. Jet Mud Mixer KOSUN DJM Series  Jet Mud Mixer  is used to concoct the  drilling fluids  and to change its density and viscosity. See below photo: Jet Mud Mixer Jet Mud Mixer Composition: KOSUN DJM model jet mud mixer is consisted by the explosion-proof motor, reduce, base and impeller components. The motor and reducer, reducer and impeller shaft is connected through a rigid coupling. The  impeller is  welded by four blades.  Jet Mud Mixer Benefits & Features: Mud Mixer is a single jet mixer combined with 45KW(or 55KW)and pump and a jet mud hopper or a double jet mixer of two pumps and two hoppers. The weighing hopper can be com

Mud Gun A mud gun is used in a solids control system of a drilling rig, which is usually installed in a mud tank. It mainly jets  drilling fluids with high pressure inside  mud tanks , in a bid to avert depositing solid phase at each corner of  mud tank  and pump inlets and to deliver drilling fluids amongst compartments. Furthermore, it is usually used together with mud agitator. The mud agitator is used in the middle of the tank while the mud gun is placed in the corner of the tank. Mud Gun A mud gun has both high pressure and low pressure. The high-pressure gun is powered by the discharge branch by mud pump, pressure stage is 1 to 6 MPa. The low-pressure gun is powered by a centrifugal sand pump, pressure stage is  0.2 to 0.3 MPa. The mud guns quantity is determined by mud agitators quantity.    Mud Gun Benefits & Features; 1. KOSUN oilfield mud gun can be adjusted by rotating at a wide angle. 2. The jet nozzle used is both replaceable and wearable. Mud G

Mud Agitator Mud agitator is part of the drilling fluids solid control equipment ,  which is mainly used to agitate and mix the drilling mud to prevent solids particles from depositing in the circulating tank and to stabilize the performance of drilling fluids. Mud Agitator Mud Agitator structure; KOSUN MA series mud agitator  is composed of explosion-proof motor, speed reducer, motor base and blade. The motor and speed reducer, speed reducer and impeller shaft are connected by steel coupling. The impeller is welded with four blades. Mud Agitator specification; Mud Agitator working principle: The impeller makes the fluid in vortex motion and improves the agitation effect. The pallet among the vanes can prevent solid particles in mud from depositing around the lower vanes after shutdown, which reduces the moment of resistance of deposits against the vanes when starting and avoids the motor from being burned out due to overload starting. Mud Agitator Features

Vacuum degasser Vacuum degasser is an important  solids control equipment , which is mainly used to remove gas and bubbles from gas cut drilling fluid during solids control system. It usually used after shale shaker as the second stage solids control equipment.  Vacuum Degasser Vacuum degasser is the most common form of degasser. It can be horizontal, vertical or round vessel. A vacuum action is created to pull in the gas cut mud. When the liquid enters the tank it will flow and be distributed to a layer of internal baffle plates designed for the mud to flow in thin laminar film and is exposed to a vacuum that forces the gas to escape and break out of the mud.The vacuum pump moves the escaping gas from the vessel discharging it to the rig's flare or environmental control system.     Vacuum Degasser specification; Vacuum Degasser Features & Benefits The self-priming device enables it to pump drilling fluids without a centrifugal pump . Corrosion is elimin

D Series Decanter Centrifuge Decanter Centrifuge is the fourth stage solids control equipment , which is important in solids control system. We introduced DC series decanter centrifuge in the previous blog, today we will introduce another type of decanter centrifuge, called D Series Decanter Centrifuge.  KOSUN manufactures the top quality decanter centrifuge in China. We will introduce what is a KOSUN D series decanter centrifuge.  D Series Decanter Centrifuge  Operating principle The operating principle of a decanter centrifuge is based on separation via buoyancy. Naturally, a component with a higher density would fall to the bottom of a mixture, while the less dense component would be suspended above it. A decanter centrifuge increases the rate of settling through the use of continuous rotation, producing a force equivalent to between 1000 and 4000 G's. This reduces the settling time of the components by a large magnitude, whereby mixtures previously having t

DC Series Decanter Centrifuge Decanter Centrifuge is the fourth stage solids control equipment, which is used in separating the suspension of solids phase with particle ≥ 2 μ m in diameter for drilling mud and fluids handling. KOSUN DC series decanter centrifuge is high in recovery rate, effective in solids control and remarkable in the reduction of cost spent on drilling mud resupplying and management. It is a very sophisticated dynamic balancing machine, able to operate stably with the whirling speed ranging from 0 to 3900 and generate a centrifugal force of 3000G. DC Series Decanter Centrifuge Oilfield Decanter Centrifuge  Working Principle: Decanter Centrifuge is driven by two motors. The main motor drives the drum and the outer casing of differential through belts while the auxiliary motor, after the differential shifting speed, drives the spiral propeller. This will make the drum and the spiral propeller rotate in the same direction with a certain differential

Desander We introduced the stage 3 solids control equipment in the previous blog   What is the best quality stage 3 solids control equipment in China?  , today we will introduce the stage 2 solids control equipment, desander.  Basic information Desanders are solid control equipment with a set of hydrocyclones that separate sand from the drilling fluids in drilling rigs. Desanders are installed on top of the mud tank following the shale shaker and the degasser, but before the desilter. Desander removes the abrasive solids from the drilling fluids which cannot be removed by shakers. Normally the solids diameter for desander to be separated would be 45~74μm.  KOSUN manufactures the best quality desanders in China. Desander Desander Features & Benefits 1. Polyurethane ( PU ) material or high-chromium cast iron to make  desander cones  for a longer lifespan. 2. Clamp type for easy maintenance. 3. Compact design with small footprint. 4. Flexible options for 1,
