Brightway’s Mud Water Separation System Used in Micro-tunneling Technique

Micro-tunneling technique is one of the most advanced techniques in the current no-dig drilling industries, and a totally mechmical method of drilling. Micro-tunneling technique is a drilling method by using shield machine to drill under the ground with the protection of shield.

Drilling fluid plays a very important role in the micro-tunneling industry.It brings back the cuttings and grit caused by the shield machine to the ground with the impetus of the pump.Then the mud water separation system deals with the mixing fluid to recycle the fluid again and again.Thus, the mud water separation system is the important condition of shield machine working successfully.

Mud water separation is divided into two parts, mud separation system and cyclone separation system. The role of mud separation system is to separate the bigger solids cased by the shield machine in the process of drilling from the drilling fluid by shale shaker.And the role of cyclone separation is to continue to deal with the drilling fluid processed by shale shaker by desander and desilter or mud cleaner, which will separate smaller solids from the fluid under the impetus of centrifugal force.After the two periods, the drilling fluid will be achieved second-use.

Brightway’s mud water separation system for micro-tunneling have progressed a lot in the recent years.And more and more mud water separation systems are sent to customers, which all receives good feedback from job site.
