Solid control equipment that removes sand and silt particles from drilling mud using centrifugal force and hydrocyclone separation.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Desander & Desilter
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Processing Capacity | 120–240 m³/h | Matches mud circulation rate; higher capacity requires larger unit. |
| Operating Pressure | 0.25–0.4 MPa | Below 0.25 MPa separation efficiency drops sharply. |
| Separation Particle Size | 15–45 μm | Desander removes 45–74 μm; desilter removes 15–44 μm. |
| Separation Efficiency | ≥90 % | For particles above the separation size. |
| Working Temperature | -20–80 °C | Outside range may affect rubber seals and hydrocyclone liners. |
| Motor Power | 5.5–15 kW | Depends on pump and agitator requirements. |
| Voltage | 380–460 V AC | Three-phase; other voltages available on request.IEC 60038 |
| Frequency | 50–60 Hz | Must match motor rating. |
| Ingress Protection | IP54–IP55 | For outdoor installation; higher IP for harsh environments.IEC 60529 |
| Body Material | Q235B | Carbon steel; stainless steel optional for corrosive mud.GB/T 700 |
| Hydrocyclone Liner Material | PU | Polyurethane; wear-resistant for abrasive slurries. |
| Weight | 1500–3500 kg | Includes skid and piping; affects transport and installation. |
| Dimensions (L×W×H) | 2500×1200×1800–3500×1500×2200 mm | Footprint varies with capacity and configuration. |

A desander is designed to remove larger particles, typically in the 45–74 μm range, while a desilter removes finer particles in the 15–44 μm range. They are often used in series within the mud circulation system to achieve the desired solids removal.
Below 0.25 MPa, the separation efficiency drops sharply because the centrifugal force is insufficient to effectively separate solids from the fluid. It is essential to maintain the recommended pressure range of 0.25–0.4 MPa for optimal performance.
The equipment typically uses abrasion-resistant steel for the body, polyurethane liners for the hydrocyclones, and ceramic apex valves. The body material is often Q235B carbon steel, but stainless steel may be optional for corrosive mud applications.
The parameters listed are reference ranges. You must contact the legal manufacturer or supplier to confirm the exact specifications for the model you intend to use, including processing capacity, dimensions, and compliance with standards.
