The shale shaker for drilling mud system is designed to remove the rock cuttings and other solid materials from the drilling mud so that it can be safely reused over and over again. In shale shaker for drilling mud system, shale shaker is used as the first solids control equipment. Drilling mud shale shaker often serve as part of drilling mud system, which helps to keep the drilling mud free of not only solids, but also unwanted gases and other contaminants.
Drilling mud shale shakerKOSUN is a drilling mud shale shaker manufacturer in China.KOSUN linear motion shale shaker is especially effective while drilling top-hole sections where heavy and high-volume solids are usually encountered. During the interval, shale shaker may generate powerful G-forces and its effective vibrating motion can quickly remove the dense solids from screens and particles from wells.
The drilling fluids that come out of the well would firstly flow through the flowline into shale shaker to separate those harmful slime & big sizes solids in the drilling fluids. The property of shale shaker has much effect on the following solid control equipments, as well as the drilling fluids cost, such as purification system efficiency, the most important is on the total drilling cost. So it is necessary to choose approprate type of screen and shaker motion according to the different geological condition & drilling fluids requirement.
Drilling mud shale shaker screen
The choice of shale shaker screen is critical to successful removal of solid materials. The size of the holes on the shale shaker screen should be matched to the size of the rock being extracted from each bore hole. It is also important to choose corrosion-resistant screen materials like galvanized steel to hold up against the extreme conditions on a drilling site. Many projects include multiple shale shakers so that the drilling mud must pass through several layers of cleaning and refinement.
A shale shaker provides many benefits to drilling companies. These systems help to clean drilling fluid so that it can be reused over and over again. Without these shakers, debris in the mud could damage the drill and halt operations. Reusing drilling fluid helps to conserve limited resources, and also cuts costs for drilling outfits. Finally, shale shakers make it easy to capture rocks and other solids that have been contaminated with oil so that they can be disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner.
