Optimization of the Solids Control Equipment System
The combination of fast drilling, gumbo clay, and conventional solids control equipment operations can create a variety of issues:
- High losses of drilling fluid through the solids control units.
- High volume of dilution.
- High volumes of fluid processed requiring strictly regulated disposal to protect the environment.
- Continuous plugging of the mesh in the solids control units.
- Increase in the consumption of screens.
- Fluid overflow due to plugging of the screw conveyors.
- Poor supervision of the solids control units.
- Increased operating costs.

Solids Control Equipment: Shaker, Mud Cleaner, Desilter, etc.
Control of drilled solids from the mud is one of the major functions of a drilling fluid circulating system. Several types of solids control equipment are used to accomplish this task, including screening equipment（ shale shaker ）, hydrocyclones ( mud cleaner, decanter, desilter ), and decanter centrifuges.
