KES Separation Machinery Tianjin Co. Ltd applications

The Oil Drilling Mud System, also known as the solids control system or mud circulation system, acts as the “kidney” for oil and gas drilling operations. By connecting directly with the drilling rig and mud pump, it forms a closed-loop circulation system designed to clean and recycle drilling fluids efficiently. KES Separation offers customized mud systems suitable for various drilling rig sizes, ranging from 250HP to 3000HP, with capacities tailored to specific project requirements.

The Liquid Mud Plant (LMP) serves as the central hub for drilling fluid management, whether situated onshore as a supply base or integrated into offshore platforms. KES Separation provides comprehensive, multi-tank mud systems designed to form a closed-loop circulation network. Our scalable solutions cater to a wide range of operations, supporting rig sizes from 250HP up to 3000HP, ensuring that we can meet the specific capacity requirements of any drilling campaign.

In well completion and workover operations, fluid cleanliness is paramount. Suspended solids in brine can block formation pores, significantly reducing well productivity. KESMI Oilfield Products specializes in manufacturing heavy-duty filtration systems engineered for both onshore and offshore environments. Our systems effectively remove solid particles to protect the formation, ensuring optimal permeability and enhancing overall well performance.

Hydraulic fracturing is essential for production stimulation, but it generates complex flowback fluids that are notoriously difficult to treat. These fluids often contain a volatile, high-viscosity mix of crude oil, polymers, sandstone, fungi, and heavy emulsions . Standard treatment methods often fail to handle this variability. KES Separation addresses this challenge with an integrated, turnkey treatment scheme designed specifically to break complex emulsions and handle high-contaminant fluids efficiently.

Drilling waste management is no longer just an operational necessity; it is a critical component of regulatory compliance and environmental stewardship. Operators today must effectively handle various waste streams, including drilling cuttings, spent Water-Based Mud (WBM), and Oil-Based Mud (OBM). KES Separation provides a full suite of technologies designed to minimize waste volume, recover valuable fluids, and ensure strict adherence to “Zero Discharge” policies.

Once drilling operations cease, the disposal of spent Water-Based Mud (WBM) stored in reserve pits becomes a critical challenge. Direct disposal is often prohibited or exorbitantly expensive due to the liquid content. KES Separation offers proven dewatering solutions that chemically condition the mud and mechanically separate the water, leaving behind a dry, stackable cake and clear water suitable for reuse or safe discharge.

Oil sludge originates from diverse sources such as crude oil storage tanks, refinery plants, drilling pits, and aged sludge lagoons. This waste is a complex mixture of oil, water, and solids that poses a significant disposal challenge and environmental liability. KES Separation offers a turnkey solution designed to separate these components effectively, transforming a liability into three distinct streams: valuable oil for recovery, clean water for reuse, and dry solids for safe disposal.

For hazardous wastes heavily contaminated with hydrocarbons—such as oily sludge, tank bottoms, and OBM cuttings—simple mechanical separation is often insufficient. The Thermal Desorption Unit (TDU) provides an environmentally friendly and highly effective solution. By utilizing controlled heat, the TDU separates hydrocarbons from the solid matrix without combustion, recovering up to 99% of the oil while leaving the solids dry and safe for disposal.

During mining and material handling, large volumes of high-abrasion, high-moisture slurry are generated. Without effective pre-treatment, these slurries can overload downstream systems, increase water consumption, and accelerate equipment wear.

In municipal wastewater treatment systems, solids control and waste treatment equipment play a critical role in suspended solids removal, sludge volume reduction, and overall effluent quality improvement. KES Separation provides an integrated process chain including shale shakers, desanders, desilters, decanter centrifuges, and filter press systems, forming a complete solid-liquid separation solution from pretreatment to advanced dewatering.
