RIGTOOLS has developed the Automatic Swarf Removal Unit to mitigate the hazards associated with handling ditch magnets.
Continuous cleaning of the magnetic surface means that the maximum magnetic field is exposed to the drilling fluid.
With the Patented ASRU - Swarf removal is now a totally automated process with minimal human involvement!
Facts
The Automated Swarf Recovery Unit (ASRU) is positioned
upstream of the shale shakers, typically within the header box
or flowline, to maximize particle recovery efficiency.
Equipped with powerful permanent magnets in each wheel,
the ASRU captures magnetic particles as the wheels turn slowly
in the drilling fluid. These particles are removed into a
collection tray, ensuring a consistently clean magnetic surface
is maintained for effective operation.
This setup ensures a strong magnetic field is always ready to
attract swarf, thereby improving the recovery of magnetic
particles from the mud system. Removing these particles helps
prevent potential failures in mud pumps and MWD tools, and
reduces errors in magnetic surveys.
The ASRU is powered by an ATEX Zone 1 motor and is
certified for use in Zone 1 areas, providing safety and reliability
in challenging environments.
Advantages
High strength permanent magnet
Customizable to different flowline/header box arrangements
add or remove wheels.
"Plug and play installation"
Little to no modification to existing header box is required
Benefits
Eliminate hazards from handling and cleaning heavy ditch magnets
Reduce wear and tear on drilling equipment.
Mitigate risk of downhole tool failure
Reduce NPT

Reviews
We are using the the tool every day and find it greatJohn Ralph Drilling Section Leader West Aquarius
I am a drilling section leader on the West Aquarius drilling vessel. We recently purchased a sub clamp lift tool for use on our rig working in Canada.
We have had great success in both efficiency and safety in handling these subs. We have shared this experience across our fleet of Seadrill rigs and also our client, Exxon mobil has shared it through out their companyJosh Allen, Drilling Section Leader -- SEADRILL WEST AQUARIUS
We have been using your ‘Rigtool Clamps’ for some time now and are very happy with the product.
Excellent tool for eliminating the drop sub hazards.Will Sellens, Drilling Section Leader -- SEADRILL WEST GEMINI
I am a Directional Driller in the UK sector of the North Sea, currently working on BP Clair project.
I have seen your clamp used on several other rigs (most recently the ENSCO 100) in the North Sea and always try to convince clients of the safety but also efficiency merits of this piece of equipment, especially when installing/removing lifting subs in the horizontal position.Craig Beaton, Directional Driller -- SCHLUMBERGER OILFIELD UK PLC
The Rigtools Clamps make handling of our lifting subs safer and easier , no more wrapping slings round subs, quick and easy installation of the clamp either vertically or horizontally, no shackles bolts or safety pins to worry about, the subs are held securely and rotate easily so installing into collars etc made safer with little chance of nipped or crushed fingers when using chain tongs. We have a 5½” and 5” Rigtools clamp, two of the best additions to drill floor safety and efficiency we have had. Best Regards, Alistair -- MAERSK CONVINCER

The high level of safety in today’s drilling operations around the world require special attention to
equipment. Most drilling rigs have fully automated derrick and pipe handling systems. In certain
regions the legislation prohibits personnel to work on the drill floor while the automatic pipe
handling machines are in use. But still we experience personnel using HP cleaners when BHA is
pulled through rotary.
Facts
The tool is tailor-made to fit on top of the diverter or bell nipple. It connects to the rig’s HP system or a special HP unit fit for purpose. Actuation of HP water can be done locally on the drill floor or remotely from driller’s cabin.
The BHA Wash Tool can be installed either with three legged sling or with the special made Running Tool.
BHA Wash Tool is welded in heavy stainless steel and in compliance with “Dropped Object Prevention Handbook”.
CE certification.
Welding certificate.
Advantages
Easy to install on top of diverter or bell nipple.
Improves safety on drill floor.
No risk of dropped objects.
No debris on drill floor or windows from using manual HP cleaning. All debris will be kept below rotary. Clean and tidy.
BHA will be pulled faster out of hole, no stops for manual HP cleaning.
Clean BHA when racking back or laying down on deck.
Benefits
BHA Wash Tool eliminates personnel using manual HP cleaners in Red Zone when BHA etc. is pulled through rotary.
No exposure to the danger of dropped objects or working close to remote operated machines on drill floor.
The tool only uses very limited water volume when HP cleaning the BHA.
Less time spent on housekeeping after tripping, fast moving to next operation, less flat spots on operational trends.
Reviews
we have really good experience with this washer Performance Coach - Valaris Viking
The BHA wash tool has worked as intended. In my opinion this is a step in the right direction that every drilling rig should consider. It enables us to stay in compliance with red zone requirements without compromising the quality of the craftsmanship on the rig floor. We keep the floor clean while pulling BHA, which is a HSE benefit as a slippery deck represents a risk. It saves time, not having to stop and clean BHA for every couple of meters. The deck crew is also happy, as the string components coming out are cleaner than before.Roger Løvslett, Operations Planner -- TRANSOCEAN SEARCHER
Vis jeg er i Stavanger, kommer jeg innom dere på Stand over en kopp kaffe og ønsker gledelig å se over deres nye produkter, for å nevne det, er vi meget fornøyde med deres Rotary wash unit (BHA Wash Tool) !Kenneth Aske, Optimizer Onshore, Statoil/NAD -- NORTH ATLANTIC DRILLING - WEST EPSILON
