Vertical Cuttings Dryer PPVCD930 – High-Performance Drilling Waste Management Solution for Modern Rigs

Vertical Cuttings Dryer PPVCD930 from Petropath Fluids India Ltd stands out as a high-performance solution that helps operators recover valuable drilling fluids while dramatically reducing waste volumes. With environmental regulations becoming more stringent worldwide, the PPVCD930 offers a powerful blend of technology, efficiency, and sustainability

What is a Vertical Cuttings Dryer?

A vertical cuttings dryer system is an advanced solids control unit designed to recover drilling fluids from cuttings generated during drilling operations. It works similarly to an industrial centrifuge, spinning cuttings at high speeds to extract as much drilling mud as possible before disposal.

How It Works:

  1. Drilling cuttings arrive from the shale shaker.

  2. The Vertical Cuttings Dryer PPVCD930 spins the cuttings to generate high G-force.

  3. Liquids are separated from solids and routed back to the mud system.

  4. Dry cuttings are discharged safely, often with oil-on-cuttings (OOC) levels below 5%.

This process significantly reduces environmental impact, enhances fluid recovery, and cuts waste disposal costs—making it one of the most valuable tools in drilling waste management solutions.
