Diamond drilling solids control unit

March 11, 2011 - PRLog -- What is Diamond drilling ?

The description on Wikipedia is as belows:

Diamond drilling differs from other geological drilling in that a solid core is extracted from depth, for examination on the surface. The key technology of the diamond drill is the actual diamond bit itself. It is composed of industrial diamonds set into a soft metallic matrix. The bit is mounted onto a drill stem, which is connected to a rotary drill. Water is injected into the drill pipe, so as to wash out the rock cuttings produced by the bit.

Diamond drilling also called diamond core drilling. The opening at the end of the diamond bit allows a solid column of rock to move up into the drill pipe and be recovered at the surface.  The diamond bit is rotated slowly with gentle pressure while being lubricated with water to prevent overheating.  The drill depth is estimated by keeping count of the number of drill rods.

In diamond drilling, the cutting size will generally be less than 10 micron. And it is needed to remove 100% of solids otherwise the drilling will run in to major dramas, in a short period of time.

A diamond drilling solids control unit is quite complex, but it can be simplified by focusing on three parts. First, there is the rotary drill. This is the bulk of the machine, which provides the power. Second, there is the drill rod, which is a barrel that will contain a core when drilling is complete. Third, there is the diamond bit, which is a circular tool that has an open middle area and clears entry into the ground.

Diamond drilling solids control unit capacity usually small . 200GPM ,100GPM or smaller . Normally , one small mud cleaner GNTJ60 with 1 pc of desander cone and 4 pcs of desilter cone with or without shaker . Two feeding pump for desander and desilter cone . One Jet Mud Mixer SLH100 for mixing and weighting functions . One or two mud agitator depending on tank size .
