Equipment that separate sand and silt from the drilling fluids
"Desilting" redirects here. For capturing soil, see Sediment basin.
Desanders and desilters are solid control equipment with a set of hydrocyclones that separate sand and silt from the drilling fluids in drilling rigs. Desanders are installed on top of the mud tank following the shale shaker and the degasser, but before the desilter. The desander removes the abrasive solids from the drilling fluids which cannot be removed by shakers. Normally, the solid diameters for desanders to separate would be 45~74μm, and 15~44μm for desilters.[1]
A centrifugal pump is used to pump the drilling fluids from the mud tank into the set of hydrocyclones.
