HL Petroleum Ships HQJ250×2-100×12 Mud Cleaner to Henan Drilling Site – 240 m³/h Desander Desilter I
Xi’an, China – September 2026 — HL Petroleum (Henglian Petroleum Equipment Co., Ltd.) has completed factory assembly, no-load test and painting inspection of one set of
HQJ250×2-100×12 mud cleaner and dispatched it to a drilling fluid solids control project in Henan, China. The unit is a second- and third-stage drilling mud cleaner combining one 10-inch desander hydrocyclone, twelve 4-inch desilter hydrocyclones and an HZS604 underflow shale shaker on a single skid, with a rated capacity of 240 m³/h and 15–40 μm fine solids separation.
A mud cleaner (also called a desander and desilter integrated machine) sits after the primary shale shaker in the drilling fluids circulation system. It cuts harmful 15–74 μm solids, returns cleaned liquid to the active pit, and lowers new mud makeup by 20–30% compared with separate desander/desilter layout.
1. Equipment Configuration of HQJ250×2-100×12
The shipped HL Petroleum mud cleaner integrates three functions in one compact frame:
- Desander section – φ250 mm (10″) hydrocyclone ×1, removes 44–74 μm sand-size solids
- Desilter section – φ100 mm (4″) hydrocyclone ×12, handles 15–40 μm silt/clay solids
- Underflow shale shaker – HZS604 linear motion shaker, 3-panel hook-strip screen 1050×700 mm, dewaters hydrocyclone underflow and recovers barite/liquid
Drilling mud enters the manifold, splits to desander and desilter groups, overflow returns to the circulating system, underflow drops onto the bottom shaker for final dewatering. This 3-in-1 design saves tank-top space and shortens piping versus split desander + desilter + separate screen.

3. Why This Mud Cleaner Fits the Henan Site
- Compact footprint – 2865 mm length fits standard flatbed transport and tight land-rig tank layout
- Fine cut point – 15–40 μm desilter cut protects downstream centrifuge and keeps MW stable
- Liquid recovery – underflow shaker returns trapped base fluid and barite, cutting 20–30% mud loss
- Field serviceability – PU hydrocyclones, quick-change screens, 45 kW domestic-standard pump, common spare parts
For Henan plain wells where rig tank space and haul width are limited, the HQJ250×2-100×12 is a typical choice for 240 m³/h circulation rate without adding a separate desilter shaker.
4. Factory Check Before Dispatch
Before loading, HL Petroleum carried out:
- Hydrocyclone feed manifold flow balance test
- Shaker vibration-motor rotation and amplitude check
- SB8×6 pump no-load current and mechanical seal inspection
- Coating, nameplate, lift points, grounding terminal and companion drawing review
Shipment includes operation manual, conformity certificate, electrical schematic, and wearing-parts list (screen, cyclone nozzle, bearing, pump seal). Remote commissioning support covers Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi and Sichuan drilling regions.
