SC DrillTechFollow a barrel
of mud.
From the bit, through the separation train, and back to the well — or out as compliant waste. The system SC DrillTech measures and optimises, station by station.
Down the hole, up the flowline
Mud is pumped down to cool the bit and carry rock to surface, then returns up the flowline carrying everything the bit just cut. The clean-up starts here.
The loop beginsShale shakers
The first and most important line of defence. Vibrating screens — labelled by API RP 13C — pull the coarse drilled solids out before anything downstream sees them.
Coarse separationHydrocyclones
Desanders and desilters spin the fluid so finer solids are thrown to the wall and drop out — but only when the feed head is right, around 75 ft.

Removes what nothing upstream could. Set the other way, the same machine recovers expensive barite instead of throwing it away — the most flexible tool on the train.

Every solid removed here is a barrel of dilution you didn't have to build. The recovered fluid rejoins the active system and heads back down the hole.

What can't be reused is dried, dewatered and routed to disposal — re-injection, solidification or closed-loop — with the documentation to prove compliance.

Every station is a number — and a chance to recover fluid, cut dilution and dry the waste. Run those numbers yourself, or send us the data.
