Shaker Screen (3) – Sand Pump and Shaker Screen

As you know, there are two main products series in Solvedrilling, they are sand pump and shaker screen. As a result, I will share some information about sand pump and shaker screen in this post.

Firstly, I will put some words for sand pump. SB serial sand pump is the most important product lines for Solvedrlling. Of course, because of the high quality and best service, our sand pump won a big price. What’re the features of our sand pump?

From Wikipedia, it goes like this:

“Sand pumps are a sub-class of dynamic axisymmetric. Sand pumps are used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The rotational energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing), from where it exits.”

I think this is the best description about the features of our sand pump, through it comes from Wikipedia. Sand pump as an important parts of the whole solid control equipment, it always need more attention for the oil and gas drilling work. Facing such an hard work environment, the quality of the sand pump means everything, which could affect the process of the whole drilling work. As for our Solvedrilling high quality sand pump, it means you could start your drilling work smoothly without any worry.


Next time, we will keep going to share the topic about shaker screen, please contact us to get more details about our sand pump and shaker screen.

Shaker Screen Series Words (1)

From this day on, we shale shaker screen blog will share a series of articles focusing on Shaker Screen. No good title was found to match those posts, so, just as simple as “Shaker Screen (1)”. Ok, just come back to the topic, the first post about Shaker Screen is about its function.

We all know that shaker screen is an important and necessary part for shale shaker, of course mining shale shaker is also considered. Facing so terrible using environment, usually, shaker screen could work for 200h, and then the shaker screen will facing to be broken or other bad situation.

Of course, there are some ad said their shaker screen could work for 700h, for which what I can do is just “hehe”, for that is not honest one. Generally speaking, we Solvedrilling shaker screen in high quality guaranty could work for 400h, which is the highest level.
GS/P flat edge-lining motion screen


So we should have a clear mind about those all over the sky to brag about how long-time use my shaker screen is, is really not the honesty one. Besides this information, we should have a general knowledge about what’s the shaker screen’s function.

Generally speaking, shaker screen is the first stage solids control equipment.  Usually it can separate partials larger than 76 microns. The drilling mud flow through the high set pipeline get to the baffle box on the shaker or directly to the distribution box. Then the shale shaker screen begins working to shake the drilling mud with solids through the shaker screen, and to separate.

That’s what the shaker screen could offer. It is Simple and easy? Yes, it is simple and easy, but it is also important and necessary for shale shaker equipment, and it also plays an important role in your oil or gas drilling work, as well as in the whole solid control equipment.

What're the Best Ways to Make a Decanter Centrifuge?

Do you still remember that we Solvedrilling shared a post called “How to drill oil at your backyard”? En…today, we will share an article about how to make a centrifuge at your home.

As we all know that centrifuge is used wildly in many fields, such as in oil and gas drilling field, we will need decanter centrifuge; while in medical industry, we also need centrifuge. So, how to make a mini centrifuge just at your own home backyard?
Generally speaking, centrifuges are used by biologists around the world to separate out different parts of a heterogeneous liquid mixture; however, they're often not feasible for the casual scientist. Using a few household items and some elbow grease, you can make your own.

When you want to make a centrifuge yourself at home, please follow the following steps.

1
Remove one paddle from your hand-powered egg beater. This is necessary so that your plastic tubing doesn't get tangled as you're cranking it.

2
Cut a length of polyethylene (PE) tubing to fit the amount of liquid you wish to separate.

3
Fill the tubing with the liquid in question and tape it onto the remaining beater paddle with electrical tape. Taping the tube farther down the paddle with help you harness the maximum amount of kinetic energy with each turn, separating the liquid faster.
4
Crank the egg beater to spin the paddle and the tubing. Depending on how much liquid you're separating and what type it is, you may have to adjust your spinning time. For blood centrifuging, a time of 10 minutes is fairly standard.


After you finished the above four steps, you will get a mini centrifuge at your home. No matter it is a mini or small one, it is indeed made by yourself, and in some aspects, the centrifuge is good for your life. If you want to make a decanter centrifuge by yourself, the above information is a good advice for your guidance.

How to Clean Mud Tank

In our oil and gas drilling work or companies, mud tanks are always used as storage for drilling mud. Of course, as for the special feature of the mud, the mud tank needs to be cleaned and they require specialized equipment to do so. So, how to finish this work? How to use mud cleaner or mud agitate to cleaner the mud tank?

In fact, when we know the ways for cleaning the mud tank, we also know the ways for cleaning shale shaker, sand pump, decanter centrifuge, etc. if it is necessary.
The following steps are the ways for you to clean mud tank, maybe you will use mud cleaner or mud agitate.

1About Hiring a Contractor
A contractor is someone who performs a job using their own equipment. They can be hired to clean your mud tank. The contractor will use equipment that is specific to the task of cleaning a mud tank and perform the job once, or several times over the course of a specified length of time. Before you hire any contractor to clean your mud tank make sure they have experience cleaning tanks that are very similar to yours. You should also make sure they have the proper equipment.

2Renting a Machine
A rental is another way to clean your mud tank. Your business can rent a mud tank cleaner and then hire or train a team to clean the mud tanks. Some companies opt for this method because it saves them money. If you have the resources and employees who can handle the job or learn the job it could be an option for your business. You should first find out who in your company can handle the job, and then find suitable equipment to rent. Industrial companies that clean mud tanks also rent equipment. One such company is Butter worth, in Houston Texas.

3Automated Tank Cleaning Machines
There are many types of tank cleaning machines. For large industrial applications the most commonly used are automated systems. The system is set inside the tank and then it is turned on. Two jets on a pivoting head clean the inside of the tank. The jets propel cleaning materials at a high velocity, disengaging the mud from the walls of the tank. Operators must be trained in their usage. The machines are also made for specific types of tanks. You should check the data sheets on these machines before you rent one. They will tell you the maximum operating temperature, minimum tank opening size to install the cleaner in the tank along with other features and details.


Generally speaking, after you used the above ways to clean the mud tank, you will get the ways to clean shale shaker, decanter centrifuge, and sand pump, if they are necessary. It is like “one stone with 3 birds”.

Is It True to Drill Oil Just in You Backyard?

Maybe you feel it’s unbelievable, because nobody will like to drilling oil in their own backyard. En… It is the fact, but there are always some different things in our amazing word, maybe there are someone would have a try in their own backyard with a small shale shaker and a small decanter centrifuge, at the same time, a mud cleaner is also the necessary.

So we just talk about how to drill oil or gas in your own backyard, not talking about is it a fact to come true.

Now, we will begin with preparing necessary tools and equipment. As we all know, the oil and gas drilling is a huge project, the equipment is large and strong. However, we must clear that this time we will start the oil or gas drilling just in your own backyard, so it is not a necessary for you to buy or rent a huge one, the small or even the mini one is ok.

Generally speaking, we should prepare the small or mini shale shaker, decanter centrifuge and a mud cleaner. These three equipments are very important, if necessary, a sand pump is also the important one for you start your drilling work.

Now we start the following steps:

1
Check your surroundings. The fact is, no one is going to discover a previously unknown font of oil. Instead, your goal should be to piggyback on what is already being exploited. When you find a suitable land, just believe yourself and do it.

2
Get the help of public and government for your drilling work. Just as you know, many states have regulatory policies that require drillers to report developed wells.

3
After the above 2 steps, just start pumping. Once again, the prohibitive cost means it is better to contract the oil pumping.

5
Please prepare storage equipment at the first time. One of the most labor-intensive elements once your oil business is pumping out the black gold is simply storing the stuff. You could expect to need, at a minimum, a chain-link fence fully enclosing your barrels and warning signs, particularly of the "No Smoking" variety. The all is for a safety consideration.


The above information is just for the necessary steps for you to start your drilling oil or gas work in your backyard. It’s simple, but what you should consider more is about the safety.

How does the Shale Shaker Work?

As we all know that in our daily oil and gas work, shaleshaker always plays an important role, it help us have a smooth work progress. So the question or the point we Slovedrilling want to share is that how do the shale shakers work?

In this international shale shaker marketing (such as the famous one: ZS/Z-1 Series shale shaker), there are many merchants or commission agents. They have taken a large marketing, they have made business with many foreign trading business men,, however, maybe they did a little about the equipment, such as the shale shaker equipment. That’s why we want to talk this topic here today.

ZS/Z-1 Series shale shaker


How do the shale shakers work? If you want to answer this question, you should know the structures and parts of the whole shale shaker as the followings.

Vibrator- This is the device which applies the vibratory force and motion type to the shaker bed. To produce the proper Linear motion a second, counter rotating, vibrator is added in parallel to the first.

New Shale Shakers Basket Angling Mechanism - The shaker basket must be capable of changing its angle to accommodate various flow rates of drilling fluids and to maximize the use of the shaker bed, this is where the angling mechanism plays an important part.

Oil well Shaker Feeder - The Feeder is essentially a collection pan for the drilling fluid before it is processed by the shaker, it can come in many different shapes and sizes to accommodate the needs of the mud system.

Hopper - Hopper can be ordered according to the needs of the drilling fluid, aka "mud" system. It can come in different depths to accommodate larger quantities of drilling fluid as well as have different ports for returning the underflow to the mud system.

As we know that there is another main and important part for the shale shaker is the control panel, which is also called shaker screen panel. The important part means a lot, if you did something wrong, that means you kill the whole shale shaker. So facing such important equipment, I think I will discuss this topic singly.


When we know the parts and elements of the shale shaker owns, we could know and understand how do the shale shakers work, that’s easy and simple. Next day, we will discuss the most important one: shale shakers’ screen panel.

Just 4 Ways for You to Dispose Mud Drilling Equipment

What is mud drilling equipment? How can I use drilling mud? What’s the relationship between drilling mud and mud cleaner? These questions are general, but important.

So, what’s the drilling mud? Generally speaking, drilling mud is a term that refers to the lubricant used in oil drilling operations that stabilizes and lubricates the drill bit in the drilling process. It can help us handle with some hard conditions in our daily oil drilling work. That is also told us what the drilling mud can do in our outdoor oil drilling.

Drilling mud cleaner
Drilling mud cleaner


Now we will give a general introduce the instruction of drilling mud.

1
What we should first do after separating the drilling mud from the cuttings? For reusing the mud in the recirculating system, we should separate the mud and cuttings as fast as possible, which is accomplished by an important part, called shale shaker. After that, the mud comes out of the drill hole and reuses the drilling mud instead of discharged or discarded.

2
Solidify and stabilize the drilling mud remaining on the cuttings or shale. Cement, fly ash, lime or calcium oxide can be used to solidify the remaining drilling mud waste. This is done to bind the waste mud with the cuttings and make the resultant waste suitable for waste handling. It also makes the waste mud less toxic and more appropriate for land burial. 

3
Bury the used drilling mud or utilize landfill services. Burial of drilling mud is at times misunderstood. It is not acceptable to simply collapse the walls of a drilling well over used drilling mud and cuttings. Instead, care must be taken to assure proper placement, moisture content and the absence of toxic metals. Many times landfill services are used in place of burial as a more suitable option.

4
Examine possibilities for beneficial reuse. Many drilling rigs have systems to capture spilled oil on the rig itself and reuse this previously lost fluid in additional drilling processes. Other types of recycling initiatives include the use of drill cuttings -- which may contain some drilling mud -- for use in road paving, construction fill, concrete aggregate products, and restoration of damaged wetlands and for use as fuel. All of these beneficial reuse options are available only after processing of the cutting and mud waste.

The above words are all about How to Dispose of Drilling Mud. In fact, not only for mud drilling equipment, such as mud cleaner, but also for those oil and gas drilling equipment, such as shale shaker, decanter centrifuge, sand pumps, etc. they all need a good care, that’s what we solvedrilling want to share.

The Balanced Elliptical Shale Shaker's Outstanding Features

It’s clear that the importance of the shale shaker for oilfield drilling. Shale shakers are components of drilling equipment used in many industries, for example, coal cleaning field, mining field, oil and gas drilling field, etc. At the same time, shale shaker divided into different style and kinds, generally, balanced elliptical shale shaker and linear motion shaker, different shale shaker for different work.

Just as we all know, the shale shaker equipment is the first phase of a solid control system on drilling rig, and is used to remove large solids from the drilling fluid; we also called it as cuttings and mud. Today we solvedrilling want to share some information about our balanced elliptical shale shaker. 

What’re the standing features of our elliptical shale shaker?

ZS T-1C shale shaker
ZS T-1C shale shaker


First of all, the Flexibility of Dual Movement

The brand new Solvedrilling balance elliptical shale shaker combines both balanced movement and progressive elliptical movement, enabling operators to change movement when the conditions of drilling change. With a switch flip, it shifts the elliptical movement from balanced one to the elliptical one without the requirement to suspend operations or shut operations down.

Operators can alter the movement type needed to manage a high volume or create dryer cuttings. Issues like wasted time lost to changing out it to fulfill conditions of drilling is not a problem anymore.

Second, Balanced elliptical motion handle high volume solids

Our balanced elliptical shale shaker movement offers 7.5g force to move swiftly the solids throughout the screens. The movement raises rates of conveyance and fluid capacity of shaker and at the same time letting the shaker handle heavier solids.

Third, Progressive elliptical creates dryer cuttings

The gentle action of the progressive elliptical movement is efficient when the amount of cutting is decreased and operators would like a drying time for the cuttings that is longer. The g-force is decreased to 6.5 g to optimize the recovery of drilling fluid and make dryer cuttings. The productivity of this movement permits high rates of processing and at the same time raising cuttings dryness in order to reduce expenses in haul off

The fourth, multiple shakers combine to multiply outcomes

Up to 4 shakers can be per-aligned and mounted on a skid to enable easy rig movements, needing only 1 lift. Dual units and trip units together could utilize one common possum belly and they can include integral feeder slide gates in order to balance flow or in order to divert it to one shaker.

Above all is a general introduction about our Solvedrilling balance elliptical shale shaker, for more details information, please checking Solvedrilling. We are confident for our products and services.

Understanding the Centrifugal Pump Thoroughly

Centrifugal pump, just as important as our solvedrilling sand pump and shale shaker, is the one popularized in the whole world, and it is also the one that makes our customers feel amazing and wonderful. Yes, it is the fantastic one.

Today we solvedrilling want to talk about the centrifugal pump.

32SB Series Spray pump
32SB Series Spray pump


First, How Does a Centrifugal Pump Work?

To be frank, I tried to explain this issue by my words; however, I found a better one answer from Ask, so I just take it.

“A centrifugal pump uses an impeller as the primary source for its pumping action then the impeller is similar to a fan with a housing that has one small intake and a larger output, which is simply an opening. The impeller is then connected to a spinning rotor that must be moved, either with human or mechanical power, in order to displace fluid, and for the impeller is inside a housing that lets fluid escape to a discharge pipe, where the fluid is pushed after being displaced by the impeller.”

Second, How to Prime a Centrifugal Pump?

“Centrifugal pumps utilize centrifugal force to push water through plumbing systems. A centrifugal pump spins an impeller at fast speeds which sucks in water, then pushes the water through slots or groves to create water flow. Centrifugal pumps need water in order to function correctly. Priming a centrifugal pump prepares the pump for operation before it is turned on. Priming a centrifugal pump requires filling the pump's casing with water so the impeller does not suck air on start up.”

2500SB Series Centrifugal Pump
2500SB Series Centrifugal Pump


The Following are the Instructions for Centrifugal Pump.

1Unscrew the pipe or hose leading into the centrifugal pump and remove it. Insert a water hose into the centrifugal pump's casing through the opening left when the pipe or hose was removed.

2Turn on the water hose to start filling the centrifugal pump's casing with water. Allow the hose to run until water begins to spill back out of the casing through the hole.

3Shut off the water hose and screw the centrifugal pump's pipe or hose onto the casing. Start the pump to test for correct prime. If the pump does not catch prime, repeat the case filling process until enough water resides in the case for the pump to prime correctly.

After we know how a centrifugal pump works and how to prime a centrifugal pump, now we talk something about the advantages of centrifugal pump.

1. A centrifugal pump takes up little floor space relative to say a plunger pump and weighs comparatively little so minimal structural reinforcement is required for the load bearing floor space.
2.   It has a low initial cost as well as low maintenance cost since all motion is rotary and there are no sensitive parts such as the valves in a plunger pump.
3.   No air vessels or alleviators are required.
4.  It can be keyed directly to a power source as it generally has high working speeds and hence needs no stepping.
5.  A centrifugal pump has the ability to handle muddy, dirty and corrosive liquids it can pump water at temperatures of up to 400 º and circulate oil at high temperatures providing it reaches the pump at high pressure ie. a full pressure system.
6.  There is little if any vibration and the discharge of liquid is continuous and without shock and the flow can be controlled from full flow to no flow without shutting the pump down or damaging the pump or pipes providing suitable switching gear has been installed.


From above information, we know how a centrifugal pump work; and we also knows how to prime a centrifugal pump, as well as the advantages of the centrifugal. As a main manufactory of centrifugal pump, sand pump, shale shaker, etc. High product quality and amazing after-sale service is the one we Solvedrilling wanna give you.
