The Coming Trend in Solids Control---A More Import Role Shale Shaker Will Play

LANGFANG, China - Dec. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Among all the mechanical solids control equipments, the shale shaker is positioned after a mud/gas separator (if needed) and before any other solids removal equipments such as Desander, Desilter and Centrifuge.It is always considered as a very important role in the fluids processing system.

By using a 2-motor driven vibrating basket and several specific sized shaker screens, the shaker removes the majority of cutting solids from the drilling liquid. Such is a mechanical solids seperation process depending on the sizes of particles and the mesh number of the screens adopted. Compared with desanders or desilters, which need centrifugal pumps for conveying the drilling mud, the shale shaker is of more efficiency and less power-consumption.

Two motors produce the power for linear motion and a vibrating strength which reaches 7.5G. Together with GN’s API screens, this solids control equipment could minimize the operating cost. Wedged type design for the shaker screens enables the quick and easy screen replacement. And as drilling rates and formation of mud properties change, the user has to adjust the deck angle of the shaker during drilling. GN shale shaker have provided mechanical deck adjustable, which allows the deck to be adjusted from -1°to +5° while operating.

Depending on the specific parameters of different drillings, a rig can adopt any number of shale shakers. Employing more shale shakers is able to meet the requirement of larger capacity of drilling. Even for finer screening or drier cuttings discharge, a shale shaker can provide you with solutions. So maybe one day, together with centrifuges, the shale shaker will replace other solids control equipments.
