In the design requirements of solid control systems, it is needed to configure the corresponding mud processing equipment, in accordance with the SY/T6223-2005 “drilling fluid purification equipment use and maintenance” requirements, selection of solid control equipment needs to follow the following principles:

1, Shale shaker: processing capacity should be 100%~125% of total discharge of drilling pump.

2, Degasser: processing capacity should be 100% ~125% of total discharge of drilling pump.
3, Desander: processing amount should be 100% ~125% of the maximum total discharge of drilling pump; configuration of the pump and motor should satisfy the above ability;

4, Desilter: processing amount should be 100% ~125% of maximum total capacity of drilling pump, configuration of the centrifugal pump and motor should satisfy the above capacity;
5. Decanter centrifuge: usually 5%~10% of the maximum capacity of drilling;
