The Top Manufacturers of Solids Control Equipment & System in the World

Nov 22, 2013

Solids control is one of the most important phases of the drilling procedure. Effective solids control allows viscosity and density to be kept within wanted levels, which increases the life of pump parts and drill bits and boosts faster penetration rates-all of which decrease the time and expense of drilling. If mud solids are not rightly controlled, the density of the mud can increase above the desired weight, which can negatively affect many areas of the drilling process.
