Shale Shaker in the Processes of Oilfields
A shale shaker is a separation tool that is used for removing the portions of cutting (solids) from the drilling liquid. It is an essential equipment of drilling that plays the first phase of controlling solid on a drilling rig. It is one of the most necessary parts of the drilling equipment. Apart from the oil and gas industry, this equipment is also used in other industries such as coal mining and cleaning, ore mining, and cleaning. How Does It Work? Shale Shakers consist of a screen that separates solid particles. Removing large solids or portions of cuttings from drilling fluids is necessary for the uninterrupted continuation of the properties of the fluid. These screens can be modified to fit effectively and supply enhanced flow rates, removal of superior solids, and expanded life of the screen. Most of the shale shakers work by flowing the fluid on the top of the screening surface. It leads to the removal of larger solids at the discharge end, along with smaller s
