Mud solid phase can be divided into two categories according to their role, a class is useful solid phase, such as bentonite, chemical processing agents, barite powder, and the other is useless solid phase, such as cuttings, poor bentonite, sand, etc. . The mud solids control, means to eliminate harmful solid, save useful solids phase, to meet the drilling fluid performance requirements of drilling technology. Generally, the drilling fluid solids phase control equipment referred to as solids control equipment.

With the development of drilling technology, the performance of mud increasingly demanding. Practice has proved that the technology of mud solids phase control to improve drilling fluid performance has developed into a important aided process closely related to steady well situation and improve the well drilling speed. In order to provide quality drilling mud, we need a set of sound, suitable mud solids control equipment which is the guarantee of maintaining the excellent performance of the drilling mud.

All the drilling workers want drilling mud with high quality, in order to strengthen the drilling measure, safe and fast drilling. Good performance mud only with chemical treatment is not only expensive, but also the performance is not stable, it also must rely on the effective mechanical handling equipment, to control the slurry solids content (the actual work, often diluted with water to the auxiliary machinery, in order to improve mechanical treatment effect). Therefore, the mechanical solids control is an important part to ensure the good performance drilling mud, but also an integral part of conventional drilling techniques.
 

In the drilling mud, the solid particles size can impact the drilling mud performance and ROP is most larger than 15 microns,it accounts for about 70% of the total solid phase. People strive to remove them at any time with efficient machinery and equipment.

Using solids control equipment is an important means to optimize drilling. Improving solids control can provide the necessary conditions for scientific drilling. Correctly doing solids control can protect reservoir, reduce drilling torque and drag, reducing pumping annulus pressure fluctuations, reducing the possibility of differential sticking and increase drilling speed, extend bit life, reduce equipment wear pipe, improve the life of wearing parts of the drilling fluid circulation system, increasing the stability of the borehole, improving casing conditions, reducing environmental pollution, reducing drilling costs. Site statistics show that in the low-density range, drilling solid phase content reduced 1% (equivalent to decrease fluid density 0.01), usually in soft formations ROP can be increased about 8%. It is visible that the efficiency gained from improving solid control is very significant.

In short, the importance of solids control equipment is being taken seriously, it has become a direct important factor can impact the safety, quality, efficient drilling and reservoir protection.
