A linear motion shale shaker is the primary solids control equipment used on drilling rigs, HDD rigs and TBMs to remove drilled cuttings from drilling fluid. This article explains how vibration, G-force, screen selection and deck angle work together — and why there is no single “best” setting for every job. What Is a Linear

Pumping a fluid containing a high concentration of solids requires more than simply increasing pump capacity. Moreover, the pump structure needs to match the characteristics of the medium. This is exactly the application the KOSUN LSP Series Vertical Slurry Pump addresses. Specifically, KOSUN developed this vertical, single-stage, single-suction cantilever centrifugal pump to transport high-solid-content fluids

If you’ve run a slurry shield or TBM drive through an urban site, you already know the machine boring the tunnel is only half the operation. The other half is what happens to everything that comes back out of it. Slurry shield TBMs use pressurized slurry to support the tunnel face and carry soil to
A mud tank is more than a storage vessel in a modern drilling operation. It is an important part of the drilling fluid management process. It connects fluid storage, circulation, treatment, mixing, and reuse. As drilling operations become more focused on continuous fluid circulation, efficient fluid management becomes increasingly important. The way a mud tank

Connecting Solids Separation, Fluid Recovery and Water Management Across the Mining Process Mining operations handle large volumes of drilling fluids, slurry, water and solid materials at different stages of production. At the front end, drilling operations rely on effective mud circulation and solids control. The treatment process removes drilled solids while maintaining the quality of

Drilling fluid is an important part of mining drilling operations. It helps transport cuttings from the borehole, cool the drilling tools and support stable drilling conditions. During circulation, however, the fluid continuously picks up rock cuttings and suspended solids. Without effective treatment, increasing solids content can affect drilling fluid performance, increase fluid consumption and create

In modern deep, ultra-deep, and geothermal drilling operations, drilling engineers cannot ignore the challenges posed by geothermal gradients. When bottom-hole temperatures exceed 150°C , the drilling fluid serves not only as a medium for transmitting power but also as a carrier of intense heat. Without an effective Drilling Mud Cooling System to treat the returning

Choosing Solid Control Equipment: Picking the Right “Problem Solver” Is Key to Cutting Costs and Boosting Efficiency In heavy industries such as oil drilling, mining, and environmental treatment, the stability of solid control equipment directly affects production efficiency and cost management. Yet many companies fall into the trap of “focusing only on specifications and ignoring
