Rig Solids Control Unit Solution for ZJ50

ZJ50 Rig – Why Dedicated Solids Control Unit is Non‑Negotiable

Drilling to 5000m with 1500HP ZJ50 rig generates up to several hundred cubic meters of drilled cuttings and low‑gravity solids. Without an engineered ZJ50 rig solids control unit, the mud system quickly degrades:

• viscosity & density drift → wellbore instability risk
  

• abrasive particles wear down pumps, pipes, bits → higher maintenance

• fine solids overload → centrifuge & shaker screens clog prematurely

A properly sized unit cuts non‑productive time (NPT) and saves USD 500k+ per well in fluid + disposal costs.

Technical Architecture – 5 Stages, One Integrated System

Mud Tank Configuration – Tailored to 1500HP Rigs

Total required active volume: ≈ 320 m³ (circulating volume ~65%). TR's modular tank set for ZJ50 offers:

• 4 to 5 tanks | Effective volume 300 – 430 m³

• Compartments sequenced: sand trap → degasser → desander/desilter → centrifuge → suction

• Standard auxiliary package:

  Agitators (15 kW horizontal, one per compartment)

  Mud guns (hydraulic) + jet mixing hopper

  55 kW centrifugal sand pump (240 m³/h @30 m head)

  Central walkway, stairs, LED lighting, optional insulation shed

All piping external – easy to inspect, clean, replace. No hidden corrosion.

Two Proven Configuration Options (Field‑tested)

Option A – Weighted mud / barite recovery

Two medium‑speed decanter centrifuges (TRLW355‑450 series, 1800‑2500 r/min).

→ Returns barite (5 μm+) to active system, reduces fresh barite consumption by ~30%.

Option B – Unweighted + high‑solids discharge

One medium‑speed (barite recovery) + one high‑speed centrifuge (TRLW600, up to 5000 r/min).

→ Cuts ultrafines down to 2 μm, ideal for HPHT wells or low‑solids mud.

Recommendation: When drilling fast formations with high fine‑solids generation, add mud cleaner ahead of the centrifuges – extends screen life and lowers centrifuge load.

Real‑World Delivery – November 2025 Example

TR Solids Control successfully commissioned TR50 series solids control unit for ZJ50 land rig in Asia. The system achieved:

• Mud recovery rate: 92‑94% (measured over 45‑day drilling campaign)
  

• Solids recovery: >95% of particles above 5 μm

• Barite consumption reduced by 28% compared to previous rig without dual centrifuges

On‑site installation took 3.5 days with remote TR support. No unscheduled maintenance stop related to solids control.

TR Solids Control does not offer one‑size‑fits‑all. We ask for three inputs:

1. Rig model variant – ZJ50L / LDB / DB / skid‑mounted

2. Mud type – water‑based, oil‑based, synthetic, or mixed

3. Preferred tank layout – compact skid or full‑spread tanks

Then we deliver CAD drawing + equipment list + price within 48 hours.
