Maximizing the volume of drilled solids removed from circulating fluid is the most direct path to improved drilling performance and reduced costs. While the basic function is straightforward, achieving peak solids removal requires attention to equipment selection and operational practices.
Screening Strategy and Monitoring
The fundamental relationship governing solids removal is screen area versus flow rate. When flow exceeds hydraulic capacity, flooding occurs and efficiency drops. Aipu helps customers right-size installations, recommending parallel units when needed. Progressive screen strategy — coarser upstream, finer downstream — maximizes total solids removal. Active monitoring of mud density pre- and post-shaker, combined with visual observation of cuttings discharge, provides feedback for optimizing adjustable parameters.
