ARCO MUD CLEANER

The ARCO MUD CLEANER provides a solution to control the solids in the oil industry. The removal of undesirable fine drilled solids from weighted mud, while returning desirable solids (barite) and valuable mud additives and liquids back to the active system, will save a tremendous amount of money.

Why use ARCO mud cleaner?

The answer is to remove the drilled solids, but at de same time, keeping the right particle size distribution that is just as important to mud performance as total solids content.

Here are some of the benefits in solids control:

• Lower mud cost
• Longer bit life
• Increased penetration rate
• Less dilution to maintenance given drilled solids content
• Improved filter cake reduces torque, pipe drag differential presure sticking and wall stuck pipe
• Longer life of pumps parts
• Longer life of drill string, drill collars and downhole drilling tools
• Reduction of total waste volume
• Reduced solids in bottom of pits
• Reduction of cementing problems
• More positive control of mud rheology
• Fewer round trips to change bits
• In conclution: the use of ARCO solids control equipment will increase your profits.

Self-cleaning devices

To keep the screen from plugging and blinding, it is necessary to use cleaning devices. In this application we use 35 rings that slides underneath the screen, that also helps to support the weight of heavy mud, which increase the screen life.
