Location: Russia
Application: Oil & Gas Drilling Waste Treatment / OBM Zero Discharge System
Equipment Supplied: Vertical Cuttings Dryer

Project Overview

Henyo Petro successfully delivered a vertical cuttings dryer solution for a Russian oilfield waste treatment project, supporting efficient drilling waste management and environmentally responsible operations.

The vertical cuttings dryer is designed for the effective separation and drying of drilling cuttings, and is widely used in oil drilling fluid treatment, waste slurry drying, and drilling waste reduction applications. With reliable performance and proven treatment efficiency, the equipment has been recognized by the customer.

Delivered Vertical Cuttings Dryer Configuration

The delivered vertical cuttings dryer integrates advanced centrifugal separation technology and continuous processing capabilities, including:

• Vertical drying centrifuge system

• High-speed rotating separation unit

• Independent oil tank cooling system

• Continuous scraper discharge system

• Wear-resistant components and supporting accessories

The system uses centrifugal separation technology to efficiently separate drilling fluids from drill cuttings, enabling fluid recovery, waste reduction, and improved drilling sustainability.

Advanced Drilling Waste Treatment Solution

During oil and gas drilling operations, oil-based mud (OBM) cuttings generated from the wellbore may contain valuable drilling fluids and solid particles.

Without effective treatment, untreated drilling waste may increase environmental risks and disposal costs.

Henyo Petro’s vertical cuttings dryer solution provides an efficient treatment process to achieve:

• Drilling fluid recovery and recycling

• Reduction of waste volume

• Improved drilling waste management efficiency

• Reduced environmental impact

Working Principle of Vertical Cuttings Dryer

The vertical cuttings dryer is a single-stage continuous working vertical scraper discharge drying centrifuge, designed for efficient oilfield drilling waste treatment.

The HYBZGZ900 vertical cuttings dryer utilizes centrifugal separation technology to separate oil-based mud from drill cuttings.

The main technical features include:

• Operating speed up to 900 RPM

• Separation factor up to 420G

• Independent cooling system for high-temperature environments

• OBM solid-phase oil content reduced to less than 5%

• WBM solid-phase moisture content controlled at approximately 8–10%

• Top-access maintenance design for convenient replacement of wear parts

Project Benefits

The implementation of Henyo Petro’s vertical cuttings dryer solution provides significant operational advantages:

• Improved drilling waste treatment efficiency

• Reduced on-site cuttings accumulation

• Increased drilling fluid recovery and reuse

• Lower waste disposal costs

• Enhanced compliance with environmental requirements

Through advanced drilling waste treatment technology and reliable manufacturing capabilities, Henyo Petro continues to support global oil and gas operations with efficient and sustainable energy solutions.
