What Is a Vertical Cuttings Dryer and Why It Matters
A Vertical Cuttings Dryer is an advanced centrifuge-based device that separates drilling fluids from cuttings generated during oil and gas drilling.
Here’s how the PPVCD930 model works:
Cuttings from the shale shaker are fed into the dryer.
The unit spins at high speed to separate solids and fluids.
Recovered drilling fluids are returned to the active mud system.
Dried solids are discharged with less than 5% oil-on-cuttings (OOC).
This process significantly reduces waste volumes and cuts disposal costs while improving overall solids control.
