Oil And Gas Drilling Solid Control System Complete Drilling Fluids Processing

Solid Control System – Complete Drilling Fluid Processing for Oil & Gas Operations

Product Overview

A solid control system is a comprehensive equipment package used in oil and gas drilling to maintain the properties of drilling fluid (mud). Also known as a mud circulation system, it removes drilled cuttings and gas from the fluid so it can be recirculated back into the wellbore-.

Without effective solids control, drilled solids accumulate in the mud, increasing viscosity, reducing rate of penetration (ROP), and causing wear on pumps and downhole tools. A properly designed system extends mud life, reduces waste, lowers operating costs, and improves overall drilling performance-.

Our solid control systems are designed and manufactured in compliance with API RP 13C and HSE specifications, suitable for oil-based, water-based, and synthetic-based drilling fluids. They are available for rigs from 250 HP to 3,000 HP, supporting drilling depths from 500 m to 9,000 m.

Core Functions

The system performs five essential functions:

Purification – Removes solids and gas from drilling fluid

Circulation – Continuously moves fluid through the wellbore and surface equipment

Mixing – Blends additives to maintain desired mud properties

Storage – Holds treated mud in tanks for immediate use

Measurement – Monitors fluid volume, density, and rheological properties

Main Equipment – Five-Stage Purification

A complete solid control system typically includes five stages of purification equipment:

Additional auxiliary equipment includes mud tanks, mud agitators, mud guns, centrifugal pumps, jet mixing hoppers, mud gas separators, and electrical control systems.

Technical Specifications – By Rig Depth

Tank Configurations

Mud tanks are available in multiple configurations:

Tank bottom types – Square bottom, round bottom, or tapered bottom

Carrier types – General (skid-mounted), trailer-mounted, or self-propelled

Modular design – Systems consist of 3 to 7 modular composite tank bodies

Applications

Our solid control systems are suitable for:

Conventional drilling rigs – Land-based oil and gas exploration

Workover rigs – Well intervention and maintenance operations

Cluster well rigs – Multi-well pad drilling

Helicopter-lift drilling rigs – Remote and inaccessible locations

Offshore platforms – Marine drilling and workover operations

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) – Pipeline and utility installation

A properly designed solid control system is essential for efficient, safe, and cost-effective drilling operations. Our systems feature five-stage purification, API RP 13C compliance, modular tank design, and scalable configurations for rigs from 500 m to 9,000 m depth.

WHO WE ARE

Beijing Sunrise Technology Co., Ltd. (Sunrise), established in 2012 and headquartered in Beijing, has grown into a globally trusted supplier of oilfield equipment. With over a decade of experience, Sunrise stands as a reliable, high-quality partner for the world’s most demanding energy markets. 

From our very beginning, we set out to bridge the gap between China’s world-class manufacturing capabilities and the global oilfield industry’s need for reliable, cost-effective, and technically sound equipment. Today, Sunrise is recognized as one of the most consistent and quality-driven suppliers of oilfield machinery across the world, serving clients in more than 15 countries on five continents.

WHAT WE DO

“We trade oilfield equipment. But first, we trade our own peace of mind.”

As a trading company focused on oilfield equipment and tools, we help our clients source reliable products without the usual delays or documentation gaps.

When we receive an inquiry, we review it carefully to understand your specifications and delivery requirements. For quoting, we default to factories we have worked with for years — suppliers whose quality and performance we know firsthand. Rather than operating a single factory, Sunrise has built a cooperative ecosystem with China’s leading and most reputable oilfield equipment manufacturers. Over recent years, we have carefully selected and partnered with these manufacturers to offer our clients the most integrated product lines available. This strategy allows us to remain agile – we are not limited to one production line or one technology. Instead, we can source the best equipment for each specific application, ensuring that our customers receive exactly what they need, without compromise.

Along with every quotation, we provide the supporting documents you actually need: datasheets, relevant certifications, and material test reports with full traceability. This way, you have everything to review and approve from the very beginning — no back-and-forth chasing paperwork.
