How to Design Drilling Mud Solids Control System ?

Drilling fluids solids control system(solids control system) is one of the most important system
for storing, configuration, circulating, purifying and recycling drilling fluid. It is usually consist of
necessary five stage purification solids control equipment,such as shale shaker, vacuum degasser,
cyclone desander, desilter,mud cleaner, decanter centrifuge,drilling fluid tanks,overhead line (from
wellhead to drilling shale shaker), drilling pump suction pipeline, mixing pump suction and
discharge pipeline, sea water pipeline, drilling water pipeline, oil base mud pipeline,medium
pressure mud gun pipeline, shear pump suction and discharge pipeline,mud tank bottom connected
pipeline, supply pipeline, discharge pipeline and other piping components.
Solid control system is equipped with drilling supply device, weighted hopper, weighted pump,
desander pump, desilter pump, shear pump,supplies pump, oil-based pump,drilling fluid mud
agitator, and other auxiliary equipment. It also has walkways, ladders, rails and other safety
devices.
In solids control system design requirements, we need to configure drilling fluid handling
equipment, they can effectively remove the harmful particles greater than the 5-15 micron in
drilling fluid, and retain useful solids phase,to provide high quality drilling fluid for drilling
operations. According to requirements of SY / T6223-2005"Use and Maintenance of Drilling Fluid
Purification Device", selection of drilling fluid purification equipment need to follow the
following principles: shale shaker, vacuum degasser, cyclone desander, desilter,mud cleaner's
handling capacity should be 100% ~ 125% of the maximum total displacement of drilling pump,
and the sand pump and motor equipped should meet the above skills; drilling fluid handling
capacity of centrifuge is usually 5% ~ 10% of the maximum displacement of drilling.
In solid control system design requirements, the effective volume of drilling fluid tank is usually
75% of the total volume. Drilling fluid tank need to meet the following design requirements:
1, The drilling fluid circulating tank should be able to accommodate the largest amount of drilling
fluid during the drilling process;
2, Each cabin in mud tank should be set overflow port and the connecting pipe with a bottom
valve according to process requirements;
3, The overall strength of the drilling mud tank should be able to meet the requirements of lifting,
transport and drilling fluid with use density of 2.5g / cm3;
4, Each compartment shall be provided with a outlet for sand cleaning, the opening's under edge
should be at the same level with the bottom of the tank, may be lower than the tank bottom;
5, All the seals units need to meet the requirements of oil resistant, acid and alkali resistant,
H2S,and can use various drilling fluids.
