CLEANCUT system cuttings blower

APPLICATIONS The CLEANCUT* cuttings collection and transportation systems uses the CCB* CLEANCUT system
■■ Cuttings collection and conveyance units, cuttings blower as the prime mover. The CCB blower is is the prime cuttings mover of the CLEANCUT
such as ISO-Pump* cuttings collection cuttings collection and transportation system. It is an 8-ft3 [0.23-m3] pressure vessel with an inlet
and conveying unit, skip and ship valve, an outlet valve, and a feed hopper mounted on top. It also has a footprint of less than 25 ft2
■■ Feeding cuttings reinjection, thermal [2.31 m2], minimizing the space required for cuttings-conveying equipment. The CCB blower conveys
desorption, and cuttings dryer installations cuttings at 28 tonUS/h [25 tonUK] in a typical installation, and can transport a sufficient distance to
reach any part of an offshore rig. It can also achieve significant vertical lifts of material and can be used
BENEFITS to convey materials other than cuttings. It is proven to handle OBM- and WBM-contaminated cuttings.
■■ Reaches any area of an offshore rig A level probe is normally fitted to ensure optimum cycling efficiency, resulting in automatic operation
■■ Conveys cuttings in a variety under normal circumstances. The CCB blower can be used in ATEX Zone I hazardous environments
of applications with no modifications. All exposed internal faces are coated for corrosion resistance and lower friction
■■ Minimizes worker exposure coefficient, and a low-friction plastic liner is fitted to the feed chute.
to drilling fluids
■■ Reduces slippery areas
■■ Operates at low noise levels
FEATURES
■■ Environmentally sound, compact design
■■ Closed system
■■ Field-proven reliability
■■ Pneumatically operated
The CCB blower enables powerful cuttings conveyance while saving space on the rig.
CCB blower
Once drill cuttings enter the feed hopper of the CCB blower, they are brought into a closed system
and isolated from personnel. Cuttings are then discharged by compressed air. The CCB blower is
in a hazardous-area configuration as standard, and is quiet and clean during operation.
How it works
Gravity feeds material into the CCB blower via a feed chute assisted by air pulses, and vibration
if required. Once the unit has been loaded with material, the inlet valve is closed by a two-stage
sealing mechanism. First, the spherical valve section is rotated to block the flow of material.
Second, an inflatable ring seal is activated to create a pressure-tight seal around the inlet.
Once sealed, the vessel is pressurized, and compressed air activates the material in the vessel and
discharges it in a batch. A level probe in the feed chute maximizes efficiency in operation. The CCB
blower can also be operated on an adjustable timer. Cycle time should be varied according to the material
type and ROP. The CCB blower is normally discharged through a 5-in [127-mm] steel pipe; 5-in [127-mm]
NB flexible hose can be used in some applications.
The CCB blower is the first component of the CLEANCUT system, receiving cuttings from the shaker
ditch and conveying them to ISO-Pump units, skips, or other destinations. While a typical configuration
includes one CCB blower, two may be used in parallel where very high rates of cuttings generation
are expected.
The installation, cuttings-feed arrangements, and pipe routing for the blower are key to the survey and
installation process. Ideally, the CCB blower should be installed directly under the shaker ditch. Availability
of sufficient height is an important consideration as well; augers may be used to supply the CCB blower
where necessary. The pipe routing is also crucial to produce optimal performance, and will be detailed
during survey.
