Solid control equipment are also referred to solid removal equipment, which used to remove the solids by mechanical separation method to keep the balance of drilling mud. Solids control equipment including first phase primary solids control using the drilling fluids shale shakers to separate drilled solids coarser than 100 microns. The second phase solids control equipment is desander for separation of drilled cuttings larger than 47 microns, which is made as one number 10 inch desander cone for 500GPM solids control system, two number of 10 inch desander cones for 1000 GPM mud system, and 3 desander cones for 1500 GPM. The third phase solids control equipment is desilters separator for drilling cuttings larger than 15 microns, which are a number of 4 inch desilter cones, for scarce capacity of solids control system. Flow rate is produced by different numbers of desilter cone.
With the development of environmental protection, the closed loop solids control system becomes more popular, after solids control equipment handling, the drilling cuttings should be further treated by drilling waste management equipment like vertical cuttings dryer, linear motion drying shaker. Drilling fluids ultra fine solids should be separated by chemically enhanced dewatering system to clean the drilling fluids to enable it restricted to reuse.
Aipu is solids control equipment manufacturer. Aipu manufactures all series mud solids control and drilling waste management equipment. We are focused on it and provide the optimal proposal continuously to all users in drilling field.
Manufacturing solids control equipment with API standard strickly.
Our equipment had tested by series tough circumstance.
