VCDApplicationVCDApplicationisDrivenbyThreeKeyObjectives:

Waste Solid Declassification

Depending on the rig site (offshore vs. onshore) or

even on the region in which the drilling activity

is occurring, the reduction of the fluid content can lower the

hazard classification of the waste solids.

TheapplicationofaVCDisdrivenbyreturnoninvestmentgeneratedfromtheabovethreegoals.

Drilling Fluid Reclamation

VCD’s recover OBM and WBM from drill cuttings

discharged from the flow line shakers. Shakers can discharge cuttings that are up to 25% by weight “wet”. When

unrecovered, this lost fluid will cost the rig thousands per day.

Waste Solid Reduction

By reclaiming drilling fluid from the cuttings, the overall volume (or

weight) of the cuttings is lowered, therefore

lowering transport and disposal costs by the

same percentage of fluid recovery, generating

further savings.

1As referenced in EPA Compliance Cost Methodology for BAT/NSPS Cuttings Dryer Technology, performance data from 23 wells revealed that the Synthetic On Cuttings (SOC) was reduced from 11.7% to 4.15% by weight after being processed.

VCDApplicationThereareSeveralConsiderationstoKeepinMind:

VCDoperationrequiresqualifiedpersonnel.Elginhasafullteamofspecialistsavailablefortrainingandcertification.

Large Bore Limitation

VCDs operate best when the particle size

distribution of the cuttings is large. Fine cuttings and clays will

impact will require additional oversight and maintenance.

FluidInhibition

Though VCD’s can be used with both WBM

and OBM, VCD’s work best when applied in

drilling fluid applications that are

highly inhibited.

VCD Post-Treatment

Post-treatment, via centrifuge, is

recommended to remove the fines from

the centrate before being returned to the active mud system.

Consistent Feed Rate

Consistent feed rates will optimize VCD performance and

ensure that the system is not over-taxed.

Screw conveyor feed is highly recommend

in lieu of bucket loading.

Moisture Content

Cuttings transport and the solids reduction

efficiency can be hampered by cuttings

that are too dry. Though counter-

intuitive, sometime it is best to reduce the

cleaning capacity of the shakers.

IntelligentDesign

1. Engineered FlightsWith various blade materials and

coatings available, Elgin has developed the industry’s most

durable and precise flights in the market. Single piece conical

sections also available.

2. ScreensThe heart of a VCD is the screen.

By using a fully TIG welded, chromed screen, Elgin customers

can experience screen life as long as a year. Screens with a slot size between 200 and 800

microns are available.

3. Spray Nozzles / BarBy integrating the spray bar

into the launder section, Elgin VCD’s can withstand the longest operating periods

between service.

4. Tapered LaunderBy tapering the launder section

collected fluids flow more efficiently and significantly lower the risk of a

back-up within the VCD.
