Product catalog summary
Introduction
Elgin has developed the CSI™ Vertical Cuttings Dryer (VCD) to address environmental concerns and regulatory pressures regarding the discharge of contaminated drill cuttings. The CSI™ VCD is recognized as the leading solution in the industry, with over 800 units in operation globally.

Performance and Capabilities
The CSI™ VCD can reduce the liquid content of drill cuttings from 15-20% to below 4%, and in some cases, down to 1%. It can handle up to 80 tons per hour of drill cuttings, significantly improving liquid phase recovery.

Design and Features
The VCD features durable and precise flights, a fully chromed screen for extended life, and a tapered launder section to enhance fluid flow and reduce backup risks. It also includes easy access inspection ports for maintenance.

Operation
The VCD is fed by various systems and uses vertical scrapers to manage the separation process. The liquid phase is collected for further processing, while the dried cuttings are disposed of safely.

Waste Management
For effective low gravity solids removal, a decanter centrifuge is recommended as part of the VCD setup. Additional equipment like a screw conveyor and explosion-proof control panel are available.

Model Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for different CSI™ models, including feed capacity, G-force, screen opening sizes, gear box ratio, lubrication system, rotor differential speed, weight, screen surface area, motor horsepower, voltage, and dimensions.

Vertical Cuttings Dryer-1

ELGIN SEPARATION SOLUTIONS Engineered Strength With various blade materials and coatings available, Elgin has developed the industry’s most durable and precise flights in the market. Screen Design By using a fully chromed screen, Elgin customers can experience screen life as long as a year. Screens with a slot size between 200 and 800 microns are available. CSI™ Continuous Duty Vertical Cuttings Dryer As our industry evolves, we are faced with increasing responsibility to protect the environment in which we operate. Concurrently, government agencies continue to increase pressure toward achieving these goals by placing stringent effluent limitations on the discharge of contaminated drill cuttings to the environment. Elgin has become the leading manufacturer of rugged and easy to use CSI™ Vertical Cuttings Dryer (“VCD”) to support the goals of both the industry and regulators. CSI™ is the industry’s most recognized & reputable Vertical Cuttings Dryer Centrifuge available in the market. No other brand has achieved more success or recovered more drilling fluid, than the CSI™ dryer. There have been almost 800 CSI™ dryers delivered to the market. Every major solids control & waste management service provider in the market operate CSI™ dryers (Including, but not limited to Baker Hughes™, Halliburton™, M-I Swaco™, Weatherford™, Ava / New Park™ and NOV™). Achieving Results Typical flow-line shaker cuttings maintain a liquid content on average between 15% to 20%. When properly managed, the CSI™ series dryers can lower the liquid content below 4%, in some cases down to 1%. This can be done while managing up to 80 tons per hour (22.22 kg/s) of drill cuttings. High Performance By tapering the launder section collected fluids flow more efficiently and significantly lower the risk of a back-up within the VCD. Inspection Ports Easy access inspection ports for maintanance and cleaning. Continuous Duty Vertical Cuttings Dryer

Vertical Cuttings Dryer-2

CSI™ Continuous Duty Vertical Cuttings Dryer ELGIN SEPARATION SOLUTIONS Hyper-G Drying Shaker By utilizing a drying shaker prior to injecting the cuttings into the VCD, operators can achieve maximum dryness of cuttings. The VCD is fed via screw conveyor, vacuum system, or rotary-lobe solids pump from the flow-line shaker discharge. Drill cuttings are fed into the hopper, and distributed along the inner wall of the screen with the aid of the flites. The liquid phase, or “filtrate”, passes through the screen openings while the vertical scrapers with hardened faces scrape the accumulating cake solids...
