Factors that cause mud run out of Drilling Fluid Shale Shaker

Drilling Fluid Shale Shaker are often used in the drilling process, and everyone has discovered that the Shale Shaker sometimes shows the phenomenon of mud running. Then, why does the Shale Shaker show the phenomenon of running mud? From the following three factors:

1. Drilling fluid (mud):

-the mud stickiness is too high;

-the mud proportion is too large;

-the solid content is too large;

-Scattered drill cuttings.

2. Elements of shale shaker performance:

-the exciting force is small;

-the mesh number of the screen is too high;

– the effective area of the screen is small;

-the choice of vibration trajectory determines the speed of mud movement;

-if the screen is selected, the mud will be unevenly distributed on the screen surface and tend to both sides.

3. The essentials for the operation and maintenance of the drilling fluid shake shaker:

-the elevation angle of the screen box is adjusted too small;

-the direction of rotation of the vibration motor is wrong;

-the amount of slurry supply is too large and exceeds the disposal amount of the shale shaker;

-the mesh of the sieve is obstructed, so it should be washed regularly with clean water during use;

-failure to rinse the screen with clean water in time during the shutdown caused the mud to dry out;

-when the mud performance changes, the percentage of the eccentric block of the vibration motor is not adjusted accordingly.

Shale shaker, Rotary separator and Centrifuge in shield slurry separation system

In the construction process of the shield machine, the separation of slurry is an indispensable process. The separation efficiency also affects the tunneling efficiency of the shield machine. General slurry separation equipment includes shale shaker, rotary separators, centrifuges, filter presses, etc.

Centrifuge: The commonly used centrifuge is composed of two coaxial parts rotating around a static chamber. It is very effective for purifying bentonite mud, only keeping 6μm particles in the mud. Centrifuge is one of the very important solids control equipment.

Shale shaker: For the separation of materials of different particle sizes and gradations, the mud Shale shaker is the most basic solids control equipment. The Shale shaker is composed of one or more sieve plates, and the sieve hole of each sieve plate is gradually reduced. Shale shaker are generally used for sieving coarse materials, with holes as small as 60μm.

Rotary separator: The rotary separator is composed of a fixed cone. Its feed inlet is close to its shell. There is an upper overflow outlet at the top of the cone and a lower overflow outlet at the bottom. Larger speed is pumped into the rotating cone, causing it to produce a vortex, and the slurry enters the spiral in the cone. Large-sized and heavy-weight particles are separated by centrifugation at a certain speed, concentrated on the inner wall of the cone, and finally discharged through the bottom outlet; fine particles, retained in the muddy water, are discharged from the upper overflow through the spiral body. Rotary separators are widely used in surface separation stations. They can separate sand and sludge from waste mud water, and can even effectively separate 10μm particles.

Factors that determine the efficiency of linear motion shale shaker

In oil drilling mud treatment system, the drilling fluid that returns from the well first passes through a linear motion shale shaker and then into other solids control equipment. Shale Shaker is a filtering mechanical separation equipment. It features the first and fastest separation of solids in the solid phase in an entire solid-phase clean-up system, as well as an economical and efficient separation plant.

Compared with other solid control equipment, KOSUN linear motion shale shaker has obvious advantages when dealing with large displacement drilling fluid, powerful excitation force output by the drilling fluid vibrating screen, rapid removal of a large amount of solid phase through efficient drilling fluid vibration trajectory. Linear motion shale shaker can effectively remove larger particles in the drilling fluid.

 Factors that determine the efficiency of  linear motion shale shaker:

(1) Vibrating Form – There are three types of vibrating screen motions, circular, elliptical and linear. Each form of motion is generated by the difference in the center of gravity of the system. Linear movement is the oscillator on the top of the system before the center of gravity, the screen frame to produce linear motion, thus clearing the solid phase. Straight-line motion has a constant cut-off speed of the cuttings, which can be either flat or slightly inclined.

(2) Amplitude and frequency – The sieve capacity of the shaker depends on three parameters: amplitude or stroke, vibrational mode and pendulum rotation speed. Most circular motion shakers have 4-6 times the acceleration of g, most of the linear motion of the shaker has 3-4 times the acceleration of g.

(3) Slope and mesh number of screen cloth – The screen cloth moves the whole drilling fluid through vibration to separate the solid phase. Elliptical shakers are usually placed at different slopes. The purpose is to properly discharge drill cuttings. The screen surface can be either a bevel or a few bevels.(Editor:Kosun Lily.Wang)

Structure of Shaker Deck:

KOSUN patented shale shaker is the equipment with welded structure. Vibration motor & screen plate base are installed into screen basket with special parts. Screen basket is fixed on the adjustment beam. At each of the four vertexes of the screen basket put a vibration damping spring, which can prevent the adjoining parts and devices from being affected by the vibration. There are several shale shaker screen panels on screen basket, and they are fixed and adjusted by snap-on screw bolts and hooking tensioners so that the combined effect of horizontal and vertical supporting bars can provide enough strength for screens basket. And the panels are in an arched shape, thus making the panels more easily tensioned and more intimately connected with the frames, extending their service life as well as increasing the processing efficiency of particles.

AWD angle adjustment system:

KOSUN patented AWD angle adjustment system can raise or lower the end of screen basket while the machine is working. This part includes two vertical column assemblies that are connected on the upper beam assembly and are attached to the shaker base. The mobile part of AWD consists of the lower beam, limiting device that controls vertical movement and screw rod that drives the upward and downward movement of the screen basket. Both ends of screw rod are hinged with the upper and lower beam assemblies respectively. Positive and negative rotating handles can make the screen basket move upward and downward respectively. The screen basket angle of shale shaker can be arbitrarily adjusted within -1°~5° at an increment of 0.5°as required.(Editor:Kosun Lily.Wang)
