Looking for a quick and effective solution to build pipelines without causing any disturbance to the surrounding environment? The horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technique is your answer. HDD is an ecological and modern technology that allows underground infrastructure to be installed without the need for large trenches or disruption to the surrounding landscape.

The horizontal directional drilling technique is a cost-effective solution, especially for soft soils, as it can drill to depths of up to 1,500 meters. However, the most cost-effective drilling is to a depth of 500 meters or less. This makes it ideal for a variety of projects, whether laying pipes under highways, rivers, or residential areas.

One of the main advantages of HDDs is their ability to minimize environmental damage. Traditional excavation methods lead to the destruction of natural habitats and vegetation, as well as traffic congestion and public inconvenience. With HDD, the surface remains largely undisturbed, preserving the natural beauty of the landscape.

In addition to being environmentally friendly, HDDs are also an economical solution. Overall project costs were reduced by minimizing the need for extensive excavation and restoration. This, coupled with the ability to drill holes over long distances, makes HDD an attractive option for projects of all sizes.

Developments in horizontal directional drilling techniques have made it a superior choice for many underground infrastructure projects. Able to cope with challenging terrain and varying soil conditions, HDDs provide a versatile, efficient solution favored for its ecological benefits.

When considering pipeline installation, especially in environmentally sensitive areas, horizontal directional drilling is the best choice. Its ability to provide fast, efficient, and environmentally friendly solutions makes it the first choice for modern infrastructure projects. With HDDs, you can rest easy knowing your projects will be completed with minimal disruption and maximum efficiency.

Mud Treatment in Directional Drilling Construction

Horizontal directional drilling machines operate using a cantilevered method, where the drill bit is laterally excavated to the desired drilling position through a guidance system. As the drill bit rotates, it is hydraulically advanced using a drill stem. This method enables the drill bit to progress in the required direction, continuously expanding the diameter of the borehole to the desired size.
Applications of horizontal directional drilling machines include:

Geological exploration
Petroleum extraction
Foundation engineering and metro tunnel construction

Treatment of mud generated during directional drilling construction:
Mud is a necessary material in the process of horizontal directional drilling, used to carry cuttings back to the surface, cool the drill bit, and provide lubrication. Mud is a mixture of bentonite and water in certain proportions. Xi’an KOSUN’s mud recovery system is designed to remove sand and silt from the returned mud for the purpose of reuse. Reusing the mud can reduce the amount of residual mud that needs to be processed. The primary material filtered out by the recovery system is drill cuttings generated from cutting through rocks, consisting mainly of sandstone, mudstone, siltstone, and shale fragments. These are classified as category II solid industrial waste, with no significant environmental hazards. After completion of the project, the remaining drill cuttings are transported by specialized vehicles to designated locations specified by the environmental protection department and processed according to their specific requirements.

KOSUN horizontal directional drilling slurry treatment is a slurry treatment system that integrates mechanical and electrical control. The system mainly consists of slurry tanks, desanders, sand pumps, jet mixing hoppers, electrical control systems, and other components. Thanks to the design characteristics of several important processes in this system, the slurry can be treated in a graded manner, and slurry blending can also be achieved.

It is mainly used for slurry treatment in the following industries:

Slurry treatment for mud-water balance shield tunneling construction
Slurry treatment for horizontal directional drilling construction
Slurry treatment for underground continuous wall construction
Slurry treatment for bored pile foundation construction
Slurry treatment for slurry balance pipe jacking construction
Tailings treatment

Xi’an KOSUN drilling mud equipment typically follows these steps for grading treatment of drilling mud:

1, Drilling mud feeding:

The drilling mud is introduced into the equipment through the inlet.

2, Drilling mud pretreatment:

The drilling mud undergoes pretreatment using vibrating screens, desanders, and other equipment to remove larger solid particles and impurities.

3, Solid-liquid separation:

The pretreated drilling mud is sent to solid-liquid separation equipment such as centrifuges and dewatering units, where solid particles are separated from the liquid through centrifugal force, further purifying the drilling mud.

4, Solid particle treatment:

Separated solid particles can be processed using equipment such as shear pumps and dryers to meet environmental requirements.

5, Liquid recovery:

The liquid that has undergone solid-liquid separation and solid particle treatment can be recycled, reducing resource waste.

6, Harmless treatment:

The treated solid particles are subjected to harmless treatment to comply with environmental requirements.

Through these steps, Xi’an KOSUN drilling mud equipment effectively performs grading treatment on drilling mud, thereby improving drilling efficiency and environmental protection during the drilling process.

Shield construction technology is one of the non-excavation methods. It is a fully mechanized construction method in the subsurface excavation method. It pushes the shield machine into the ground and supports the surrounding rocks through the shield shell and segments. To prevent collapse into the tunnel, at the same time use a cutting device to excavate the soil in front of the excavation, transport it out of the tunnel by an excavating machine, press the jack at the rear to push it in, and assemble precast concrete segments to form a tunnel A mechanized construction method for structures. The slurry circulation between the shield machine and the Slurry Treatment Plant is realized by the slurry conveying system. The soil and sand excavated by the shield machine enters the cutting silo, and the agitated high-density mud water is pumped by the mud pump to the shield Slurry Treatment Plant. The system, after the mud processing system is processed, is pumped back to the excavation surface, so that the mud is recycled in the equipment.

Design highlights of KOSUN shield mud-water separation equipment

1. High degree of automation: the feeding, separating, unloading and other processes at work are continuously and automatically carried out under high-speed operation, and the automatic control of centrifugation and separation is realized by programmable control.

2. Working performance: The differential used in the mud dewatering machine is a two-stage involute planetary gear differential and a cycloid pin wheel differential that rotates. The working temperature is low, the transmission torque is large, and the performance is reliable. The design of the anti-blocking device of the screw pusher can make the power larger, which has a great effect on the torque of the equipment itself, so that the work performance is better.

3. Strong craftsmanship: The belt filter press adopts double motors and double frequency conversion energy feedback differential speed for flexible stepless adjustment and online intelligent control, and can adjust the speed and differential speed at any time according to the changes of materials. In order to achieve the energy-saving effect.

4. Low noise: The cover adopts a double-layer design with sound insulation layer, and the cover and bearing seat adopt a new type of sealing structure, coupled with precise dynamic balance, so that the noise is significantly reduced.

5. Large processing capacity: The new centrifuge has a large processing capacity due to structural improvements such as the deepening of the liquid pool, the direct rotating drum, and the clear phase guide hole on the spiral.

6. Reliable performance: The sludge dewatering machine is equipped with torque protection, power control and other protections, which can effectively eliminate or damage the machine caused by sudden failures. All transmissions are equipped with protective covers.

7. Good working site: The separation of materials by Slurry Treatment Plant is carried out under closed conditions to ensure that the operation site is clean and pollution-free, and the production is clean and hygienic to achieve clean production.
