Brandt Cuttings Cleaner

The Brandt Cuttings Cleaner is designed to clean drill
cuttings generated from holes where inverted emulsion
muds are in use. The cleaning process uses chemical
cleaners developed in conjunction with Exxon Chemi-
cal Co, The cleaners are relatively non-toxic to life,
easy to handle in a wide range of
temperatures, compatible with the
drilling systems used, and they clean
to an acceptable level. When the
cleaning solution becomes satu-
rated, it can be disposed of into the
active mud system,
The flow diagram shows the
modular cleaning unit concept, de-
signed to clean to a predetermined
level. By adding modules, cleaner
levels are reached, The unit cleans
cuttings at the rate of 125 cubic feet
per hour—the equivalent of 75 feet-
per-hour drilling 15-inch-diameter
hole. Feed rate through the system
is 15 gpm of solids.
The equipment m assembled on
oilfield type skids and can be used
onshore or offshore.
