Shale Shaker Functions in Solids Control System

Shale shaker is the 1st stage separation equipment for oilfield solids control system. It adopts vibrating motor to generate vibrating force. The vibrating force drives the drilling fluid with cuttings pass through the shale shaker. When the drilling fluid goes through the shale shaker screen, clean mud will be filtered and goes into mud tank. Non-allowable bigger solids will pass the screen surface and be discharged to cuttings pot.

There are mainly two types of shale shaker applied in solids control system for drilling cuttings separation.
A. Balanced elliptical motion shale shaker. It is not recommended for oil and gas drilling since the flow capacity is big. If the mud flow is not equal, the motion of shaker will be changed. And performance will not be good. Mostly, professional users prefer linear motion for wide application.

B. Linear motion shale shaker. This is the most common shaker type for oil and gas drilling solids control system.
The drilling cuttings separation size of shale shaker depends on shale shaker screen size. We name it API size or mesh size. The API defers from API 20 to API 325 per API RP13 standard. By changing different shale shaker screen mesh size, the shale shaker can separate solids from min. above 40μm (with API 325 shaker screen). The common shale shaker size is API60, API80, API100, API140, API160. Customer can choose the proper screen size according to drilling fluid condition.

What are the Special Functions of KOSUN shale shaker in drilling cuttings separation?

KOSUN shale shaker has AWD angle adjustment system, which is a patented design. It is synchronized change for both sides. You can adjust from any side, the angle change is the same for both sides.

KOSUN has options for AWD angle adjustment: left side of the drilling shale shaker is a small motor for automatic control. There is control for the small motor on shale shaker control panel. While the shale shaker right side uses tools for angle adjustment. KOSUN offers tools together with the shale shaker. User can choose any way to change the angle.

Mono Screw Pump Working Principle and Apllication

M ono screw pump , also called  sewage pump  or  progressive cavity pump ,  belongs to the rotor type positive displacement pump .   M ono screw pump  is depend ing  on the screw meshing with liner on the discharge and suction cavity to conveying liquid volume change.   It is a kind of method of pressurized screw pump, a main working parts by bushing has a double helix cavity (stator) and the stator cavity and its meshing singlehead screw screw (rotor).   When the input shaft through the universal joint drive making planets revolving around the center of the stator, rotor stator, rotor, vice is continuous mesh form sealed cavity, the seal chamber volume invariably uniform axial movement, the medium from the suction end of deputy to the stator, rotor pressure side, the suction medium sealed cavity through the stator without stirring and destruction. M ono screw pump  is an ideal pump used to feed drilling fluids to ...

Drilling Waste Disposal-Pit Burial

The use of earthen or lined pits is integral to drilling waste management. During most China  drilling operations, the drilling cuttings separated by the shale shaker are sent to a pit called the reserve pit located near the drill rig. The pit is generally open to the atmosphere, so it also accumulates stormwater and washwater from the rig. The strategic location of small pits near drilling sites can also help minimize spillage of drilling waste. Unless site characteristics are such that no significant threat to water resources can occur, liners are generally required. Where pits must be constructed adjacent to water bodies or on sloping terrain, engineering precautions incorporated into the design will help to ensure pit integrity. Precautions should be taken to prevent disposal of chemicals, refuse, debris, or other materials not intended for pit disposal. At the end of the drilling job, any hydrocarbon products floating on top of the pits are recovered and any free...

Drilling Waste Separation by Solidification and Stabilization

Drilling waste separation  from the mud at the shale shakers may be coated with so much mud that they are unsuitable for the drilling mud recycle or disposal step or are difficult to handle or transport. Constituents of the drilling cuttings or the mud coating them, like oil or metals, may leach from the drilling waste, making them unsuitable for land application or burial requirements. Kinds of materials can be added to drilling cuttings to solidify and stabilize them. Solidification is a technology that encapsulate the drilling waste in a monolithic solid of high structural integrity. The encapsulation may be of fine drilling waste particles or of a large block or container of drilling cuttings. Solidification does not necessarily involve a chemical interaction between the drilling waste separation and the solidifying reagents but may mechanically bind the drilling waste into the monolith. Contaminant migration is restrict...
