Requirements for solids control systems in complex drilling operations

In complex drilling operations, there are specific requirements for the solid control system.
In the oil and gas industry, the solid control system plays a crucial role in controlling the quality and efficiency of drilling operations. These systems are designed to remove unwanted solids, such as drill cuttings, from the drilling fluid or mud. In complex drilling operations, the environmental and drilling conditions can be challenging, making the requirements for solid control systems even more critical.
One of the main requirements for a solid control system in complex drilling operations is the ability to handle various types of drilling fluids. The composition of drilling fluid can vary significantly depending on the geological formation being drilled and the specific requirements of the well. The solid control system must be able to effectively separate and remove solids from different types of drilling fluids, including water-based, oil-based, and synthetic-based drilling fluids.
Efficiency is another key requirement for a solid control system in complex drilling operations. The drilling process is time-sensitive, and any delays or inefficiencies can lead to significant economic losses. The solid control system must be able to rapidly and efficiently separate solids from the drilling fluid, ensuring that the drilling fluid can be recycled and reused without compromising its performance. The system should have high capacity, capable of handling large volumes of drilling fluid and quickly removing solids to maintain optimal drilling conditions.
Furthermore, in complex drilling operations, the solid control system must be able to handle a wide range of particle sizes. Drill cuttings come in various sizes, ranging from fine particles to larger, more abrasive particles. The solid control system should be equipped with screens and centrifuges that can effectively separate and remove particles of various sizes, ensuring that the drilling fluid is free of solids that could cause equipment damage or hinder the drilling process.

KOSUN KD-250 Microtunnelling Sludge Separation System Successfully Applied in Poland

In 2019, KOSUN completed the production and commissioning of a set of KD-250 Excavator-Mounted Integrated Environmental Microtunnelling Sludge Separation System and shipped them to Poland for a sludge separation project in micro-tunnel construction.
This set of equipment has been successfully applied in Poland and has received praise from the customer.

The KOSUN KD-250 Excavator-Mounted Integrated Environmental Microtunnelling Sludge Separation System adopts a modular structural design, consisting of a shale shaker, a decanter centrifuge, a cone tank, and a cloth distributor. The slurry enters the screening system through the cloth distributor. After step-by-step processing by the coarse screen of the shale shaker, the decanter centrifuge, and the fine screen of the shale shaker, it can effectively separate the sand and stones carried in the slurry. It can remove larger solid particles from the tailings, reduce the solid content in the mud, and the slurry processed by the system can enter the next-level processing equipment such as a centrifuge or a filter press.


The shale shaker used in this system is the double-layer linear shale shaker LS-608 series. The main components include the screen box assembly, the shaft seat, the handwheel lifting device, the adjusting beam assembly, and the locking device assembly, etc. KOSUN LS-608 is a linear vibration machine equipped with two vibration motors, featuring the ability to adjust the screen frame angle. During the operation of the shale shaker, the screen frame angle can be adjusted between -1° to +5°. Thanks to the innovative structural design, the KOSUN LS608 shale shaker can efficiently separate solid particles in the slurry. The vibration motors are fixed and positioned on the screen frame with high-strength support beams, and this positioning of the vibration motors allows the exciting force (G-force) to act directly on the screen panel. The vibration isolation device can protect the base frame from the impact of screen frame vibration.


KOSUN has accumulated rich experience in the development of environmental sludge treatment and has numerous on-site application cases at home and abroad. For more information on environmental sludge treatment equipment, please feel free to contact us at any time.
