Desanders and Desilters (34 suppliers)
Desanders and desilters are respectively second and third phase solids control equipment. Each piece of equipment consists of a set of hydrocyclones that separate sand and silt from drilling fluid while they differ by the size of the hydrocyclones used.
Gumbo Removal Equipment (6 suppliers)
Gumbo removal equipment refers to solids removal equipment that removes sticky hydrated gumbo from drilling fluids during drilling operations.
Mud Cleaners (28 suppliers)
Mud cleaners are two-stage solids control equipment that are composed of several hydrocyclones mounted over a vibrating screen, known as a shale shaker. Mud cleaners are used to remove solids from drilling fluid and act as 2nd and 3rd phase solids control equipment.
Shale Shakers (38 suppliers)
Shale shakers are a piece of solids removal equipment that is primarily used to remove large solids, called cuttings, from drilling fluid. They are also used in coal cleaning and mining operations as the large vibrating basket and specialty designed and sized screens are optimized for specific applications.
