The ability to efficiently remove cuttings from the borehole is paramount in successfully drilling and constructing of wells utilizing air as a drilling fluid.  Our air rotary/casing advance drill rigs are equipped with on-board air compressors rated at 1,050 cfm @ 350 psi.  In line filters, remove contaminants from the air stream prior to introduction in to the drill pipe.  Additionally, WDC will provide auxiliary air compressors rated at 950/350 and 1,170/350 as well as pressure boosters for large diameter and/or deep installations.  The air and cuttings are discharged through rig-mounted cyclones which discharge the materials into suitable containers such as roll offs or “mini dumpsters”.
