Shale Shaker Common Faults and Daily Maintenance Skills

Shale Shaker is the first level of solid control equipment in the drilling fluid purification system, which is used to separate the large particles of drill cuttings contained in the drilling fluid, and the drilling fluid containing smaller particles after treatment can enter the next level of solid control equipment for further processing.

We may encounter some problems in the process of using shale shaker, first of all, we should learn to eliminate the following common failures:

1, Motorized motor rotation is bad

2, Abnormal sound

3, raw materials can not be automatically discharged

4, Fine mesh is easy to break

5, Discharge frame outlet cracked

The following is the daily maintenance skills of KOSUN Shale Shaker to increase the service life of your equipment:

1, Before starting: check whether the coarse mesh and fine mesh are broken or not, and whether each group of beam ring is tightly locked.

2, When starting: pay attention to whether there are abnormal noises, whether the power supply is stable, and whether there is any abnormal vibration.

3, After use: clean up the regular maintenance after each use:

(1) Regularly check the coarse and fine nets and springs for fatigue and breakage, and whether all parts of the body are damaged due to vibration.

(2) motor running two weeks, must be supplemented with a timely lithium-based grease. Accumulate 1500 hours of operation, check the bearings, and replace them immediately if they are damaged.

Four Types of driling mud shale shaker sceens and its advantages

Driling mud shale shaker sceens are an essential component of oil drilling equipment. These screens are designed to filter out large solids from drilling fluid to protect downstream equipment and maintain the quality of the drilling mud. The shale shaker sceens come in various types, each with its own unique features and advantages.

Iron Frame Screen-KOSUN

The first type of drilling shale shaker sceen is the hook strip soft screen.

This screen is made of multiple layers of mesh and is typically used in shallow drilling applications. The screen’s primary advantage is that it is easy to install and replace, making it a cost-effective option for drilling companies.

The second type of drilling shale shaker sceen is the frame flat screen.

This screen is made of a single layer of mesh that is stretched over a frame, making it more durable than the hook strip soft screen. The frame flat screen is ideal for deep drilling applications where high volumes of solids need to be removed from the drilling fluid. Additionally, it is easy to maintain and repair, which reduces downtime and improves operational efficiency.

The third type of drilling shale shaker sceen is the pyramid screen.

This screen is made of multiple layers of mesh that are arranged in a pyramid shape, providing more surface area for filtering solids. The pyramid screen is highly efficient in removing solids from drilling fluid and can withstand high flow rates. Furthermore, it is less prone to clogging, which reduces maintenance and replacement costs.

The fourth type of drilling vibration screen is the composite screen.

This screen is made of a combination of mesh and a perforated metal plate, providing greater strength and durability. The composite screen is highly resistant to wear and tear and can withstand harsh drilling conditions, making it a popular choice among drilling companies operating in challenging environments.

In conclusion, driling mud shale shaker sceens are an essential component of oil drilling equipment, and each type of screen has its unique features and advantages. The hook strip soft screen is easy to install and replace, the frame flat screen is durable and ideal for deep drilling applications, the pyramid screen is highly efficient and less prone to clogging, and the composite screen is highly resistant to wear and tear. By choosing the right type of screen for their drilling application, drilling companies can improve operational efficiency and reduce maintenance and replacement costs.

The sewage treatment industry still has a lot of things to do.

Although the sewage treatment capacity, treatment capacity and treatment rate are all improving, it does not mean that the sewage treatment effect is improving simultaneously. Therefore, under the big theme of improving the quality and efficiency of sewage today, the sewage treatment industry still has a lot of things to do.

In addition, for water enterprises in the formulation of corporate strategy, the assessment objectives as a starting point. The first thing an enterprise needs to consider is whether the assessment is the growth of scale or the growth of business revenue, and the path is different under different standards. Some companies are thinking about scale expansion and how much future assets they would have if they paid a certain price per ton of water.

In terms of sewage discharge standards, statistics are carried out from the two dimensions of the current sewage discharge standard and the functional target of the receiving water body. Beijing standard B will be implemented for about 60% of projects, and Beijing standard A will be implemented for around 20.Beijing has relatively special requirements in terms of standards due to some problems such as reuse of tailwater and supplement of landscape water. In Tianjin project, landmark B accounts for 37%, while landmark A accounts for 39%.In Hubei, Shanghai and Guizhou, grade A is dominant, but grade B in Hubei and Guizhou also has A certain proportion. It is not recommended to use the current emission standards to push back the expansion of enterprises in the market. There is still a certain proportion of sewage treatment projects in the wood powder province to implement the level I B standard, but it does not mean that it has a large need for bidding, so it can only meet the discharge standard. In addition, there are some special places, such as Anhui, which have special standards due to Chaohu lake and requirements for watershed management in the great protection of the Yangtze river.

Kosun Environmental Engineering oil sludge treatment

Kosun Environmental Engineering oil sludge treatment scheme 1:Air flotation scheme for oil sludge recovery and separation system.
The application of the air flotation scheme in the oil sludge recovery and separation system can effectively realize the separation of oil, water and mud, and recover the reusable oil products in the sludge.
