The
correct installation and use of hydrocyclone mud cleaner can filter
unwanted solids from the mud to achieve controlled velocity. It is important to use mud cleaner properly
to ensure the quality of treated drilling mud
.
1. The correct position of
hydrocyclone mud cleaner for whole mud mixing system
is behind shale shaker which filter large solids at first step.
2. The drilling mud prior enter
the hydrocyclone must be processed through shale shaker first.
3. Check the power source and once
motor is start, check direction of rotation of the motor rotate in correct
direction.
4. Seeking unusual noise from
motors after turn on the machine
5. Secure the screen and hand feel
the strength of the screen. Initiate the
test-run fluid and check if screens are intact.
Check every moving parts while machine is on
6. Clean the screen by end of each
shift to prevent blockage of mesh and extend the usage life of screen
7. Stop the feeding of mud should
turn off the pump first and keep on the shale shaker for another few minute and
wash the screen, then shut down the shale shaker
8. Re-grease the bearing as needed
for proper moving on machine parts
9. When the feed liquid pressure
equal to the rated pressure, turn off the valve on the overflow tube, make the
tubular value of the overflow pipe is 0.01-0.03mpa. When the feed pressure
below the rated pressure, adjust the valve on the over-flow, make the tubular
value of the overflow pipe is .0.02-0.05mpa.
10. For every 500 operation hours,
the machines need regulator maintenances by checking moving parts and replace
parts as necessary.
11. For every 4000 operation hours,
the machine needs overhaul by doing maintenance list above and replace the
hydrocyclone and check that insulation of electrical parts of the machine.
