The Australian AEP Exhibition is an important industry event hosted by the Australian Energy Producers, focusing on the energy sector, particularly oil & gas, new energy. It is one of the most influential energy industry exhibitions in the southern hemisphere, attracting global exhibitors, government representatives, and technical experts. During the exhibition, we met a fleet of oil & gas service companies like Woodside, Santos, Baker Hughes, Ventia etc.

What did KESS bring to the exhibition?

We brought our cutting-edge technologies solids control equipment for oil drilling mud treatment operations, our high-end drilling waste management equipment to increase the work efficiency and safety and our brine filtration unit for brine and waste water filtration and cleaning.

1)     Solids control shaker and centrifuge

Shale shaker is the 1^st stage screening unit in solids control system. There are different models to fit different work conditions. We can provide 2 panel, 3panel, 4panel, 5panel shale shakers. The popular shaker model for oil drilling mud treatment is 4 panel shaker and 5 panel shakers. Our 5 panel VAST premium shaker now is working at Swamp rig in Nigeria.

Desander and desilter are the 2^nd stage and 3^rd stage unit in solids control system. They are shakers with cyclones to achieve finer solids removal. And Centrifugal pump is usually adopted as the feed pump to the desander cyclones and desilter cyclones. It could consume up to 110kw to 150kw power supply. This is the most energy consumption unit in the solids control system.

Centrifuge is the 4^th stage unit in solids control system. 14in bowl size centrifuge and 18in bowl size centrifuge are most popular applied to oil drilling mud treatment. There are fixed speed and variable speed configurations. Fixed speed centrifuge is cheaper in purchase cost, not convenient to adjust bowl speed for different material separation applications. Variable speed centrifuge is higher cost because of the VFD control panel, but the centrifuge is flexible to adjust the bowl speed and differential speed to achieve different applications. When separating barite, the user can adjust the bowl speed to 1500~1800rpm; when separating the ultra-fine solids to cut mud weight, the user can increase the bowl speed to 2500~3200rpm.

• Our 14in centrifuges KSLW363C-FS is equal to Derrick DE1000GBD
• Our 14in centrifuges KSLW363C-FHD is equal to Derrick DE1000FHD
• Our 14in centrifuges KSLW363C-VFD is equal to Derrick DE1000VFD
• Our 14in centrifuges KSLW363C-FS is equal to Swaco 518HV

2)     Drilling waste Vertical cutting dryer

Drilling waste management generally refers to the treatment of drilling cuttings, there are OBM cuttings and WBM cuttings. We have different equipment to treat them.

For OBM cuttings treatment, we usually recommend KSCD930C Vertical cuttings dryer with upgrade design and improved separation performance. ( You can get more performance video by YouTube); Our vertical dryer is equal to Elgin CSI-E3 Cyclone and CSI-E4 Cyclone.

For WBM cuttings treatment, we usually recommend Filter Press with dosing unit to press the water out from the cuttings and the user can get dried mud cake and clean water. Easy and simple.

3)     Brine filter equipment

We can design and make high quality brine filter equipment in complete system. The details of each unit including:

• Diesel driven centrifugal pumps with DNV271 skid
• Slurry mixing tank with Wilden air pumps
• Filter Press with Air power pack
• Dual pod filtration unit with DNV271 skid

The filtration system can work for completion fluids, Workover fluids, Wellbore clean-up fluids; Produced water, Surface water intake, Process water; Wastewater, Pipeline flushing etc.

Each skid can be certified according to DNV 2.7-1 / ISO 10855 / EN 12079, which can ensure the safety operation in offshore drilling operations.

Welcome to contact us for more details, and we will be very happy to get in touch with you and support you.
