pipe and drill pipe. A shift in the market has led many operators
to use higher alloy tubulars such as 13 and 22-
chrome. One system drawback is that the
surface roughness of bare chrome tubulars
(50 µ) is greater than that of bare carbon steel
(35 µ). The use of Tuboscope internal plastic
coating has been able to reduce the surface
roughness to a nominal value of 4 µ. This
reduction in surface roughness has translated
into as much as a 25% increase in daily
production and has allowed operators to pay
for their coating application in a matter of
days.

TK-34 was the first drill pipe coating and is
still the industry standard. When our
customers’ were asked how we could improve
this coating, increased abrasion resistance
was the common request. A comprehensive
research and development program was
undertaken to increase the abrasion
resistance of TK-34 and while retaining its

TK-Liner – Technology at its Best


Tubular Services – Coating

Tuboscope’s TK-Liner system utilizes a


fiberglass reinforced expoxy tube to protect
against corrosion and mechanical damage.
Unlike other systems the TK-Liner
installation process uses a two-part epoxy
that is extruded over the fiberglass tube as
it is inserted into the tubing or line pipe. The
two-part epoxy backing offers improved
adhesion to the pipe surface as well as
offering a secondary mode of protection in
the event there is damage to the fiberglass
tube. Additionally, the flange that is used to
cap the ends of the pipe fits between the
fiberglass tube and the pipe wall therefore
not protruding into the tubing ID.

Brandt LCM-2D™ and LCM-3D™ Shakers


The LCM-2D™ Cascade and LCM-3D™
Brandt LCM-2D™ and LCM-3D™ Shakers

Cascade screen shakers combine a CM-2


scalping shaker (top basket) with the fine
screening ability of the LCM-2D or LCM-3D
shaker (bottom basket) for maximum solids
removal efficiency.
The circular motion CM-2 has a 0° deck
angle and 22.5 ft2 (2.1 m2) of screen area
making it superior to other designs for
separation of large and sticky solids. The
linear motion LCM-2D and 3D bottom
basket angle is adjustable.
The Contour Plus™ LCM-2D screen deck LCM-2D
uses three Red Diamond™ Ultra-Flow LCM-
2D™ hookstrip style screens, while the
LCM-3D uses four Red Diamond™ Ultra-
Flow Cobra™ or BHX™ rigid frame
pretensioned screens. With both designs,
the feed end screen is set at 0°; the other
screens are inclined at +5°. This design
reduces the depth of the liquid pool to
improve solids conveyance and reduce re-
grinding of solids while maintaining good
flow properties.
Fluid loss is minimized and cuttings dryness LCM-3D
is enhanced with Brandt’s patented drying
deck and our new flow direction tray. The
drying deck also saves space by reducing
the overall footprint.
LCM-2D and LCM-3D shakers use a reliable,
low-maintenance drive system for years of
dependable, trouble-free operation.

drilled solids that shaker screens may not.
They are made from a durable polymeric
material developed exclusively for Brandt.
These hydrocyclones offer high-temperature
tolerance, greater resistance to erosion, and
low-cost replacement. They also have
preferred flange connections for tight,
leakproof assembly.
Involute feed entry-rather than conventional
tangential entry-is another advantage of
Brandt hydrocyclones. This design separates
the solids more efficiently, saves valuable
fluid, and reduces wear at the feed inlet.
Usable life is extended with a wear-resistant
ceramic insert that is molded into the apex of
the hydrocyclone, traditionally the highest
wear area. This ceramic material resists
abrasion many times over standard polymeric
material.

Brandt Centrifuge HS-3400™

Brandt’s HS-3400™ centrifuge offers


Brandt Centrifuge HS-3400™

excellent performance over a wide range of


applications under various conditions. On
all models, adjustments to the dam plates
change liquid pond depths. Typically,
deeper ponds are used with high solids
content fluid, while shallow ponds are used
for maximum dryness. The rotating
assembly is manufactured from stainless
steel; areas of potential wear on the scroll
are fully protected with durable tungsten
carbide. HS-3400 centrifuges come in
several configurations.
VSD (Variable Speed Drive) models use a
variable speed hydraulic motor. The Brandt HS-
3400 VSD™ Centrifuge will give infinite speed
control from 1500 RPM to 4000 RPM, (1500
RPM minimum speed must be achieved before
the feed pump will start). A fixed displacement
axial piston motor is used to drive the centrifuge
via V-belt drive. Hydraulic power is provided
(via a closed loop hydraulic circuit) by a variable
displacement axial piston pump with swash
plate controlled by a manual adjustment. The
pump is also fitted with an override system to

protection is provided by a simple

interrupts current to the main drive motor,
which in turn causes the feed pump to stop

replaceable items. The all stainless steel
278 rotating assembly is enclosed within a
baffled casing with hinged lid, all fitted onto
a main frame. The main frame supports
both the main bearings and casing
assembly that in turn is bolted to a sub

Brandt Mud Making Equipment

Automatic Sack Cutter


Brandt Mud Making Equipment

Brandt offers a fully automated sack cutter


for a wide variety of sack types. Features
include:
■ Automated handling of all types of sacks
up to 110 lb (50 kg)
■ Discharge rates 6 to 7 sacks/min
331 lb/min, (150 kg/min)
■ Manual, remote or automatic discharge
control options
■ Integral dust extraction/reclamation
system
■ Options for safe or classified area
■ Closed loop dust extraction system
Emptied sacks are compacted and
discharged into a collection tube. A high
efficiency dust extraction system is fitted to
ensure dust free operation
While manually mixing chemicals,
operators are exposed to high levels of
chemical dust for extended periods
attempting to achieve correct chemical
addition rates.
Use of an automated chemical discharge
system reduces operator dust exposure to
minute levels and gives greater control of
additive consumption and fluid properties
thus reducing costs.
Big Bag Handling
Brandt’s big bag handling system allows
accurate addition of chemicals without
manual handling or exposure to potentially
hazardous substances. Features include:
■ Rugged skid mounted equipment to allow
controlled discharge of chemical “Big
Bags”.
■ Automated or manual control
■ Automatic loss-in-weight discharge
control
■ Accurate control over rates of addition
■ Local or remote/automated control
286 ■ Totally enclosed dust free operation
■ Handles all single or multi-trip “Big Bags”
■ Options for safe or classified areas
The ability to open and close the container
allows partial discharges to be achieved.
The big bag, when empty, is ‘low volume’ to
store, easily transported when empty and
may be filled at source or at the mud
company supply point. The aim is to reduce
liability for high cost labor at the rig site.
Flow from the big bag is induced by a
combination of vibration and massaging of
the bag.

Brandt Degassers and Auxiliary Equipment

Brandt DG-5™ and DG-10™ degassers incorporate more leaf area than other
Brandt Degassers and Auxiliary Equipment

degassers. This expansive multiple-leaf surface area spreads the gas-cut


mud so that entrained gas bubbles are brought to the surface. The gas
collects at the top of the chamber and exits the vessel with the aid of a
vacuum pump. The degassed mud is drawn from the bottom of the vessel
through a high efficiency eductor. Unlike conventional units, which are
available in only one size, the Brandt degasser is available in two sizes - the
DG-5 for flow rates up to 500 GPM and the DG-10 for flow rates up to 1000
GPM (3785 LPM).
The VG-1™ Degasser processes up to 1000 GPM (3785 LPM) of 50% gas-
cut mud in a single unit. The low-profile, horizontal design stands only 60
in (1524 mm) high, allowing the VG-1 Degasser to fit in locations where
headroom is limited. The VG-1 degasser is designed as a single-lift unit.
The vacuum vessel, pump, and pump piping are mounted on a single
oilfield-style skid and equipped with lifting eye hoist points. The unit easily
fits into position. Suction and discharge piping is simple to complete.

The multi-purpose Enviro Vac™ vacuum pump offers superior


performance in a unitized package. This space saving design
incorporates the vacuum pump, collection vessel (with safety
float switch) and filter vessel. The system can be installed to
perform clean-up duties by routing pick up lines to specified
areas on the rig floor, mud room or wherever liquid or slurry spills
might occur. The Enviro Vac is able to operate automatically or
manually simply and effectively. Once a power supply is installed,
and piping or hoses are routed to the desired pick-up points, the
Enviro Vac is ready for duty.
