Processing limit of shale shaker in drilling mud solids control system

As we known, in solid control system, the drilling fluids flows onto the shale shaker screen from feeder to the terminal end, and the solids that are bigger than the mesh would keeep on the screen. The liquid phase with smaller particles would goes through the screen into the mud tank, and big solids then would be removed also through the terminal end of screen basket. The drilling fluids that come out from the borehole would continuously flow onto the sreen to be treated. When the fluids or the liquid phase of the fluids spills from the terminal end of the screen basket, it shows that the shale shaker comes to its processing limit.

This processing limit is determined by two factors:

1) Liquid processing limit. This means the drilling fluids max. flowing rate that available for the shale shaker.

2) Soid phase processing limit. This means the max. solids content that drilling fluids can carry to the terminal end.

Shale shaker screen is a kind of permeating medium, the process capacity of which is determined by:

1) Screen basket motion trail;

2) Flow conductivity;

3) Effective Filtration Area.

Shale shaker is the primary solids separation tool on a rig. After returning to the surface of the well the used drilling fluid flows directly to the shale shakers where it begins to be processed. Once processed by the shale shakers the drilling fluid is deposited into the mud tanks where other solids control equipment begin to remove the finer solids from it. The solids removed by the shale shaker are discharged out of the discharge port into a separate holding tank where they await further treatment or disposal.
