Oilfield Decanter Centrifuge for Drilling Mud Processing
Having effective solids control equipment is very important for any oilfield. Without having proper solids control, drills can encounter a variety of problems. When low gravity solids start to build up, the borehole can become ineffective for drilling, rods can get stuck, and the penetration that a drill will reach becomes much less [...]
Drilling Cuttings Disposal Method and System
During the drilling process, drills will send particles and drilling liquid (also known as mud) to the surface. These solid particles are known as cuttings and when they first arrive at the surface of your drilling site will be mixed in the mud. With solids control equipment, the used mud can be separated [...]

Shaker Screen Meshes
Selecting the right shaker screens is critical during the use of shale shaker. Firstly, be clear about what material to be screened, then choose the right mesh screen that meet the screening purpose according to the particle sizes. Screen mesh is not the number of sieve pore. The parameter describing a screen includes [...]

Take Care of Shaker Screen to Improve Shaker Performance
The shale shaker is the first phase solids control equipment in mud circulation system. It is of vital importance to the downstream solids control efficiency, if for instant, the large solids are not properly removed by the shaker screens, it will give much burden to the desander, desiter and even do damage to [...]
