Drilling Fluid Shale Shaker is a primary solid control equipment in the drilling mud solid control system

The KOSUN Drilling Fluid Shale Shaker is a primary solid control equipment in the drilling mud solid control system, used to separate a large amount of cuttings carried by the mud from the wellbore before the mud enters the secondary separation equipment. This screen can be used individually or in combination with double or multiple screens.

The KOSUN Drilling Fluid Shale Shaker is a high-frequency linear shaking machine. It is equipped with three screen frames and two vibrating motors. It features an adjustable screen frame angle (AWD) manually during drilling. When the LS583 Shale Shaker is in operation, the screen frame angle can be adjusted between -1° and +5°. Thanks to innovative structural design, the Drilling Fluid Shale Shaker can efficiently separate cutting particles. The vibrating motors are fixed on the screen frame with high-strength support beams and positioned on the screen bed. This method of positioning allows the vibration force (G-force) to directly act on the screen mesh. The isolation device prevents the base frame from being affected by the screen frame vibration. The mud is fed into the vibrating screen through the feed box.


The main components of the KOSUN Drilling Fluid Shale Shaker include the screen frame, vibrating motors, screen tensioning system, AWD angle adjustment system, locking device, feed box, electrical system, and others.

Drilling fluid systems can generally be divided into 3 categories and 7 subcategories

Drilling fluid systems can generally be divided into 3 categories and 7 sub-categories. They are liquid-based drilling fluid, gas-based drilling fluid and mixed-based drilling fluid.

  1. Water-based drilling fluid systems, including oil-in-water drilling fluids. Its solid phase particles are suspended in water or brine, and the oil can be emulsified into the water. At this time, the water is the continuous phase.

The composition is: bentonite + water + chemical treatment agent + weighting material + drill cuttings.

  1. Oil-based drilling fluid system, including full-oil drilling fluid, water-in-oil drilling fluid, and synthetic-based drilling fluid, whose solid phase particles are suspended in oil, and water or brine is emulsified in oil, that is, oil is the continuous phase.

The composition is: diesel oil+asphalt/organic soil+treatment agent.

Shale Shaker Working Efficiency Deterministic Factors

In the oil drilling process, The drilling fluids from the well can be transported to the mud control equipment by mud pump. As the first phase equipment of mud control, The drilling fluids shale shaker is one of the mud-water separation equipment and has the characteristics of the earliest separation, the fastest separation, economical and efficient. Shale shaker working efficiency determines the mud process efficiency of entire mud control system. so we must know what factors determine working efficiency of the drilling fluids shale shaker. There are three deterministic factors of shale shaker working efficiency.

The First Factor: Shale Shaker Mode of Vibration

There are three types vibration modes shale shaker. It is inear motion, circular motion, elliptic motion. If the center of gravity is at the vibrator, it can form the circular motion. If the center of gravity is above the vibrator, It can form circular motion. For the elliptic motion, the screen must have a slope in order to transportation of drill cuttings, but it can reduce the capacity of its screen. If the center of gravity is above and in front of the vibrator, The shaker can formed inear motion. The inear motion shale shaker has the constant speed of transportation of drill cuttings.

The Second Factor: The Amplitude and Frequency of Shale Shaker and vibrating motor

The capacity of shale shaker depends on three parameters: amplitude, mode of vibration, rotation speed of vibrating motor. The rotation speed of vibrating motor determines the vibration frequency of shale shaker. The higher of vibration frequency of shale shaker, the better of the solid phase screening. Generally, vibration frequency of the domestic high frequency shale shaker is approximately 2000 times /min.

The vibration mass and eccentricity determines amplitude of shale shaker. Amplitude is the vertical distance of the movement of shale shaker. Vibration strength is centrifugal acceleration of the vibrator. It reflects the mesh size of the force acting on the solid particles. In theory, The larger the vibration amplitude of shale shaker, the better of the removing effect. But after the vibration strength increases, The force of shale shaker is also increased. if so the expectancy shaker life can become shortened. Therefore we should considered comprehensively when designing and using.

The Third factor: Mesh and Material of Shale Shaker

Generally speaking, there are 2-4 shaker screens in shale shake. Drilling fluids must pass the first screen into a second screen, and so on. If the screen size is not suitable or be torn, the efficiency of solid-phase separation can decrease dramatically. If the screen can not be install reasonably, the screen will soon be worn or torn quickly. So when you select the screen, you must pay attention on the material of shaker sreen.

The function and classification of KOSON mud guns

KOSON mud gun relies on the high-pressure fluid flow in the mud pipeline to generate high-pressure jet impact force through the nozzle of the mud gun to flush the sediment at the bottom of the drilling mud tank to make it suspended.

The main function of the KOSON mud gun is: auxiliary mud agitator, right the corners of the mud tank, the bottom edge of the mud tank and the deposits of the suction ports of each pump are prevented from depositing, and then the agitator is used for uniform mixing. After the agitator stops running for a period of time, the agitating impeller will be buried by the deposited sediment. Before it needs to be re-run, the KOSON mud gun can reduce part of the resistance when the agitator is started, which provides a guarantee for normal operation.

KOSON mud gun is divided into high-pressure gun and low-pressure gun. Because the high-pressure mud gun is a tributary supply of drilling pump, its pressure level can reach 1~6MPa; as for the low-pressure gun, it is supplied by sand pump, and its working pressure level is 0.2 ~0.3MPa. In general, the number of KUSON mud guns should be determined according to the number of mud mixers.

Specifications for electric motors in mud agitator

The motors in the mud agitator all use explosion-proof T-frame, 3-phase 230~460V, 1150 rpm, frequency 60 Hz; or 3-phase 190~380V, 958 rpm, frequency 50 Hz. Flexible coupling for motor The joint is directly connected with the reducer. A strong steel passport is mounted above the connecting shaft.

The solid mild steel shaft is connected to the reducer with a rigid coupling. In order to adjust the height of the impeller, a keyway is opened in the lower part of the shaft. The diameter of the shaft ranges from 38.1 mm to 88.9 mm, depending on the model, and the actual length of the shaft is determined by the user.

How to calculate the size and number of mud agitators

In the equipment currently in use, it is very likely that 75% of the mud agitators are installed improperly. The reason for this situation is either not understanding the correct size determination method, or not understanding the importance of selecting the size reasonably. The reasonable stirring amount calculated by each agitator is related to the given power and impeller diameter. The relationship between the mixing range that the impeller can reach and the specific gravity of the mud and the required power can be determined by calculation.

Factors Affecting the Use Effect of Decanter Centrifuge

The decanter centrifuge is mainly composed of a rotating drum, a spiral, a differential system, a liquid level baffle, a driving system and a control system. It is a special equipment for solid-liquid separation designed for the characteristics of petroleum drilling fluids. It can complete various processes such as feeding, centrifugal sedimentation, and unloading at full speed. It is mainly used to recover barite, remove fine solids, and reduce drilling fluids. The solid content of the drilling fluid controls the density and viscosity of the drilling fluid, ensures the performance of the drilling fluid, and plays an important role in rapid drilling.

Factors Affecting the Use Effect of Decanter Centrifuge

The use effect of the decanter centrifuge is divided into adjustable factors and non-adjustable factors. Now we will explain them separately. If we understand the principle of action, we can effectively control it in use. The unadjustable mechanical factors include: drum diameter and effective length. Drum half cone angle. Pitch. Screw type. Adjustable mechanical factors are: drum speed, differential speed (difference ratio), liquid ring layer thickness, process factor.

There are many factors that affect the dewatering effect of the decanter centrifuge, and each factor affects each other. Therefore, the treatment effect is the result of the combined effects of the above-mentioned factors. The selection of the centrifuge should be carried out in accordance with the actual situation of the project, and the operating parameters should be adjusted. It should be considered comprehensively from the expected mud cake moisture content, solid content and economic efficiency required by the disposal method of the dehydrated mud cake.
