Lignite for Drilling: Essential Applications, Specifications, and Global Supply
This product, often referred to as “Lignite for Drilling,” is a crucial mineral widely used in water-based drilling fluids and oil drilling operations. Known for its dark brown color and high natural humidity, this immature coal is a versatile solution for various industrial applications. ATDM Company specializes in supplying and exporting high-quality lignite in multiple forms, including lignite powder, sulfonated lignite, potassium lignite, and more. With its unique properties and essential role in controlling pH, viscosity, and fluid loss, lignite continues to be an indispensable resource in the global drilling industry.
Lignite Usage
This mineral serves multiple purposes, particularly in oil and water-based drilling projects. It functions as a pH controller, balancing the fluid’s chemical properties. By acting as a thinning agent, it ensures smoother fluid flow. Additionally, lignite stabilizes temperatures in challenging conditions and minimizes fluid loss. Its role as a filtration agent enhances operational efficiency, while its viscosity control ensures consistent performance.
Moreover, its compatibility with saline solutions makes it suitable for other industrial applications. With varying grades and purity levels, ATDM Company offers lignite tailored to meet the demands of global markets.
Lignite Specifications
Lignite contains 60–70% natural humidity, making it prone to oxidation when exposed to air. Its ability to mix with different elements enhances its adaptability for various uses. While its emissions limit applications in certain industries, it remains essential in drilling mud production. To meet industry requirements, ATDM Company provides lignite that adheres to international standards such as ISO and OCMA. Additional certifications can be arranged upon customer request.
Lignite Packing
This mineral’s soft, humid structure and density of around 5.1 influence its packaging. Typically, lignite is packed in 25 kg bags, arranged on wooden pallets, and shrink-wrapped for secure handling. A 20-foot container can accommodate up to 20 tons. Its resistance to high temperatures ensures safe shipment, even in extreme conditions. For customized needs, private labeling options are available to meet specific branding requirements.
Lignite for Drilling remains a key offering from ATDM Company. With its versatility, adherence to global standards, and dependable quality, it continues to play a crucial role in the drilling industry worldwide.
