Mobile Solids Control System: Enhancing Efficiency in Drilling Operations

Apr 27, 2025

Introduction to Mobile Solids Control Systems

A Mobile Solids Control System is an advanced, portable solution designed to remove harmful solids from drilling fluids, ensuring optimal performance in oilfield, mining, and construction drilling operations. By integrating multiple solids control equipment—such as shale shakers, desanders, desilters, centrifuges, and mud cleaners—into a compact, trailer-mounted or skid-mounted unit, this system provides efficient on-site fluid purification, reducing downtime and operational costs.



 

How Does a Mobile Solids Control System Work?

The system follows a multi-stage solids removal process:

  1. Shale Shaker (Primary Separation) – Vibrating screens remove large drill cuttings (typically >74 microns).

  2. Desander & Desilter Hydrocyclones – Centrifugal force separates finer particles (15-74 microns).

  3. Decanter Centrifuge (Fine Solids Removal) – Eliminates ultra-fine particles (down to 2-5 microns).

  4. Mud Cleaner & Degasser (Final Purification) – Ensures clean, gas-free drilling fluid for recirculation.

Since the system is mobile, it can be quickly transported and deployed at different drilling sites, making it ideal for remote or temporary operations.
 

Key Benefits of a Mobile Solids Control System

✔ Portability & Flexibility – Easily relocated between drilling sites, reducing setup time.
✔ Improved Drilling Efficiency – Maintains optimal fluid properties, preventing equipment wear and stuck pipe incidents.
✔ Cost Savings – Reduces mud losses and chemical consumption by recycling clean drilling fluid.
✔ Environmental Compliance – Minimizes waste disposal by efficiently separating solids.
✔ Compact & Modular Design – Saves space while offering customizable configurations.

 

Applications of Mobile Solids Control Systems

  • Oil & Gas Drilling – Ensures smooth operations in both onshore and offshore drilling.

  • Horizontal & Directional Drilling – Maintains borehole stability by removing fine solids.

  • Geothermal & Water Well Drilling – Prevents formation damage and improves fluid clarity.

  • Mining & Tunneling – Enhances drilling fluid performance in mineral exploration.
