Cubility attended GeoTHERM Expo & Congress in Offenburg

The best solution for Geothermal Drilling

Showcasing Innovation at GeoTHERM Expo & Congress 2024

Last week, we had the pleasure of attending the GeoTHERM Expo & Congress in Offenburg, Germany—one of the leading events for geothermal energy professionals. Together with our valued partner, Herrenknecht Vertical, we proudly showcased our innovative MudCube, demonstrating its advanced capabilities for optimized and efficient drilling technology.

This event provided an excellent opportunity to connect with industry experts, exchange insights, and highlight how our solutions are shaping the future of geothermal drilling.

Our Cubebelt: an engineering marvel

Cubebelt used for separation of all kind of liquid-solids.

Producing our Cubebelt is no ordinary process—it’s an engineering marvel that involves precision, patience, and top-tier materials. Here’s a glimpse at the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into every belt.

It all starts with selecting ultra-fine stainless steel threads, so thin that at a human hair is thick in comparison! We ensure the exact specifications are available and making sure every wire is perfect in dimension, length, and number.

From there, it’s time to prepare the warp—each one stretching out to a remarkable 800-1600 meters – a job that takes days or weeks depending on the mesh being produced.

Once the warp is on the loom, weaving begins. With only a few looms capable of weaving our meshes, it’s a race against time, as it may take several weeks to create a single warp of 1600 meters. The finer the mesh, the more intricate the weaving, and the longer it takes—each Cubebelt is a masterpiece of precision!

Finally, the woven mesh is carefully assembled to complete CubeBelts. Finer mesh isn’t just a feat of engineering—it also increases material and weaving costs, underscoring the value and durability of each Cubebelt.

Cubility’s Cubebelt isn’t just a filter—it’s the product of dedication, specialized technology, and precision, crafted to bring performance to a whole new level.

Chile’s Mining Industry focuses on Recycled Water

With the global demand for copper and other critical minerals increasing, water supply in Chile’s mining industry has become a crucial issue. The adoption of water recycling technologies and desalination has been established as an essential solution to ensure the sustainability of an industry vital to both the country’s economy and the production of metals for the global energy transition.

Cubility’s partner and distributor in Chile, iHydroChile, is diligently implementing our PureCube technology to enhance water recycling from tailings and wastewater. There is a growing interest in this unique solids/liquid separating system, with its compact and high-capacity enclosed design being rapidly adopted across various industrial sectors worldwide. Our clients have expressed great satisfaction with the technology’s combination of high-frequency vibrations and high air flow through a rotating filter belt, resulting in unparalleled solids/liquid separation efficiency.

According to iHydroChile, an increasing number of mining companies in Chile now recycle the water used in their industrial processes, demonstrating the mining industry’s strong commitment to sustainable operations. Several mining companies aim to achieve zero consumption of continental water within the next 10 years. These goals are part of a water transition strategy that will facilitate the development of green mining, focusing on the sustainable use of water and the utilization of renewable energy sources for water production and transportation processes.

We wish iHydroChile success in their endeavours over the coming months and look forward to reporting exciting news from Chile’s mining industry!

MudCube users experience improved Liquid Recovery in Solids Control

Comparison MudCube with traditional shaker, showing that the MudCube is much more efficient.

Our customers around the world are happily discussing the advantages of using the MudCube as an attractive and smart alternative to traditional shale shakers for solids control in drilling operations. The MudCube-experience is based on the foundation of a more efficient option that offers better performance in terms of fluid loss on drilled cuttings, reduced waste volume, and improved environmental impact.

The traditional method of solids control involves shale shakers, mud cleaners, and decanter centrifuges gives way for the MudCube as a more efficient alternative.

The MudCube was initially seen as costly equipment, but the introduction of the second-generation MudCube in 2018 made its cost comparable to modern shale shakers while offering even better efficiency.

New customers such as Polyar SA, a leader in solids control equipment in Argentina, conducted a field trial with the MudCube. They deployed MudCubes on several wells to compare their performance with traditional shale shakers.

The trial compared the MudCube’s performance against traditional shale shakers in terms of fluid loss on drilled cuttings. The MudCube consistently showed significant improvements, reducing lost mud on cuttings by approximately 64% compared to primary shakers and around 48% compared to drying shakers.

The benefits of using MudCubes include reduced drilling fluid and additive consumption, decreased waste volume, and lower transportation of waste and drilling fluid. These savings lead to considerable cost reductions and environmental improvements.

The MudCube employs a rotating filterbelt with low-G micro-vibrations and vacuum/air-flow to separate drilling fluids from cuttings. This gentle separation process maintains the integrity and size of the cuttings, resulting in lower fluid losses compared to traditional shale shakers that use high-G vibrations.

The improved filtration process of the MudCube also contributes to a reduced environmental footprint of drilling operations. The results observed in Argentina are consistent with other MudCube operations globally, indicating the broader applicability of the technology.

Overall, the passage emphasizes that the MudCube offers significant advantages in terms of solids control, efficiency, cost savings, and environmental impact compared to traditional shale shakers.

Mudcube from Cubility separate liquid from the solid in a very efficient way.
