Derrick Desander Cyclones TR Solids Control API / ATEX / IEC Approval

Desander Cyclones

Our desanders are the most technologically advanced hydrocyclones available on the market, and they are designed to provide the best possible performance. Under the most demanding applications, each cone will process 1000 GPM at 70 feet of head. Our desanders are engineered to produce the least amount of turbulence while maximising tangential velocity.

TR hydrocyclone desanders are designed to remove abrasive materials from drilling mud that cannot be removed by shakers or other conventional methods. Multiple desander units can be joined together to create units that can handle significantly bigger flows and solids handling capacities than they could alone.

When drilling, desanders are a set of hydrocyclones that filter out the sand and silt from the drilling fluids as they pass through them. It is common practise to put desanders on top of the mud tank, after the shale shaker and before the degasser, but before the desilter. The desander is responsible for removing abrasive materials from drilling fluids that cannot be removed by shakers. Ordinarily, the solids diameter for desander separation would be 45-74 microns.
