Solid Control Equipment Market: Overview

Solid control equipment is the tool utilized in the process of removing gas and other contaminants trapped in drilling rigs. There are a number of tools used in the process, like decanter centrifuges, mud cleaners, vacuum degassers, agitators, settling tanks, hydro cyclones, shale shakers, and others. Such equipment helps in the segregation of the solids and fluids from the well surface. Also, the equipment has five layers – centrifuge, distiller, vacuum degasser, and mud tank. Solid controls aid in eliminating the carbon footprint related to the disposal and transportation of the drilling mud. It helps in effectively lowering the project cost, thereby allowing the drilling fluid further be recycled and cleansed for future drilling.
