A desander is a secondary solids control device for drilling mud, capable of separating solid particles ranging from 45 to 74 microns. Depending on the user’s processing volume, you can use one, two, or three 10″ or 12″ cyclones. The desander primarily includes a shale shaker, cyclones, a diversion manifold, and an electronic control system, and it separates solid particles that the scuotitore di scisto cannot separate.
A backflush manifold is installed at the detergente per fanghi slurry pump outlet, connecting to the slurry storage tank. It dissipates settled slag, preventing slurry accumulation and overflow during long operations. To reduce manifold wear, open the ball valve after starting the pump and close it 10 minutes before stopping the pump.
A desander’s design uses the principle of sieving solid particles in a fluid by rotating flow within a desander filter. When water flows into the filter at a certain pressure from the inlet, it generates a strong swirling motion. Because sand and water have different densities, centrifugal force, centripetal force, and fluid drag force combine to cause the low-density water to rise and discharge through the outlet. Meanwhile, the high-density particles discharge through the filter’s bottom outlet. A secondary filtration device filters individual tiny particles that float along with the water flow, thus achieving the desired sand removal effect.
Installation Guidelines
1. Il cyclone desander should be installed on the main water supply pipe and fixed to the base. A bypass should be provided between the inlet and outlet pipes.
2. To ensure a smooth inlet flow, a straight pipe of the same diameter as the inlet should be installed before the water inlet of the device, with a length equivalent to 10-15 times the inlet diameter.
3. During installation, allow ample maintenance space around the equipment.
4. During normal operation, keep the inlet and outlet valves open and the drain valve and bypass valve closed.
5. Regularly drain sand and remove pollutants based on the sand content of the source water. When draining, open the drain valve until clear water flows out. This process should not affect the normal water flow of the system.
6. After draining, close the drain valve.
7. If the sand pressure is insufficient, close the outlet valve.
