A mud cleaner is an important component of drilling fluid solids control, combining hydrocyclone separation and screening to remove fine solids from circulating mud. KOSUN designs mud cleaning equipment for secondary or tertiary separation in drilling fluid treatment systems. How a Mud Cleaner Works in Drilling Fluid Treatment During drilling, solid particles accumulate in the […]

In drilling operations, drilling fluid does much more than carry cuttings back to the surface. It cools and lubricates the drilling assembly, maintains wellbore stability, and transports drilled solids out of the hole. Once that fluid returns to the surface, those solids must be removed before the mud continues through the treatment loop — and
Why Shale Shakers Still Matter in Modern Solids Control Read More »
A drilling fluid system is often discussed in terms of solids control: shale shakers remove drilled cuttings, hydrocyclones separate finer solids, and centrifuges provide further separation. But separation is only part of the process. The drilling fluid still needs to move continuously between tanks, separation equipment and other treatment stages. When the fluid contains a

Modern cities are running out of above-ground space. Engineers now build metro lines, utility tunnels, and stormwater corridors underground. Contractors use shield tunneling and Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) as the standard approach. These machines bore through dense urban ground with minimal disruption to street-level traffic. However, every meter of advance creates a massive byproduct: tunnel

A mud tank may look simple, but its performance depends on much more than its steel structure. In drilling operations, it needs to withstand demanding working conditions, support fluid circulation, and integrate with other solids control equipment. This is why mud tank manufacturing matters. Field performance starts at the factory. Mud Tank Fabrication: From Steel

Mining drilling operations generate drilling fluid containing rock cuttings, fine solids and other suspended particles. Effective separation and treatment of these solids are essential for maintaining drilling fluid performance, supporting continuous drilling and reducing the amount of waste requiring external handling. To address these requirements, KOSUN provides integrated mud separation and treatment solutions designed for

In modern deep-well and geothermal exploration, surface mud cooling represents a critical technical necessity. High bottom-hole temperatures cause circulating fluid to absorb immense thermal energy. Without surface cooling, this cumulative heat trigge

In every stage of the petroleum industry, such as extraction, refining, transportation, and storage, the generation of oily sludge is an inevitable problem. This kind of sludge not only contains a large amount of crude oil but also a variety of toxic and harmful substances, such as heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, posing a serious threat to the environment and human health. Therefore, efficient treatment of oily sludge has become a key task for the sustainable development of the petroleum industry. Hot washing technology for oily sludge , as an important treatment method, has received extensive attention in recent years. KOSUN offers advanced hot washing systems engineered for efficient oily sludge treatment and resource recovery. What Is Hot Washing Technology? Oily slud

In Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) operations, the terms mud recycling and mud purification are often used interchangeably, yet they serve distinct purposes. They differ in functional positioning, technical principles, and operational objectives. Based on KOSUNs equipment and industry standards, the differences can be understood through four key dimensions. Core Positioning An HDD mud recycling system serves as a closed-loop circulation platform. It collects waste slurry, transfers it for treatment, returns reusable drilling fluid to the drilling system, and manages separated solids. In essence, it coordinates slurry logistics and resource recovery. Components such as KOSUNs high-head slurry pumps and modular mud tanks enable efficient slurry collection and circulation. An HDD mud pu
