Mud cleaner

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-004386

A solids control device that combines hydrocyclones and a vibrating screen to remove fine solids from drilling fluid. It processes the underflow from the hydrocyclones over a fine-mesh screen, recovering valuable drilling fluid while discarding unwanted solids. Mud cleaners are typically positioned after shale shakers and desanders in the solids control system.
