Integrated drilling fluid management systems engineered to optimize solids removal, maximize mud recovery, and enhance drilling performance across onshore, offshore, and workover operations.
Oil and Gas Drilling Solids Control
Challenge
Maintaining drilling efficiency while managing complex drilling fluids and solids
During oil & gas drilling operations, inefficient solids removal, unstable drilling fluids, and poor mud management can impact drilling performance, increase operational costs, and reduce overall system reliability.
Drilling rigs require reliable solids control solutions to effectively separate unwanted solids, maintain optimal mud properties, and ensure continuous circulation throughout drilling and workover operations.
Without an integrated solids control system, excessive solids accumulation can affect drilling fluid performance, increase equipment wear, and create challenges in maintaining efficient and stable drilling operations.

Case Studies
Proven in the Field
ZJ70 Drilling Rig Solids Control System Project (Ethiopia)
Challenge
Large-scale onshore drilling campaigns with ZJ70 rigs across Africa generate massive drill cuttings and waste drilling fluid. Operators faced soaring waste haulage & landfilling expenses, insufficient site storage space, plus stringent local environmental protection laws restricting uncontrolled mud discharge and soil contamination.
Solution
Customized full-set ZJ70 rig dedicated solids control system, including linear motion shale shakers, desanders, desilters, high-speed decanter centrifuges and complete closed-loop mud circulation module. The system separates drill solids step-by-step, recycles usable drilling fluid onsite, drastically cuts waste output at source and eliminates unauthorized mud leakage.

Field Feedback
“
Reliability is critical for our desert drilling operations. Henyo’s equipment has been running continuously under harsh field conditions for more than a year, and the performance has been very stable. We have experienced very few maintenance issues with the mud cleaner, and the overall build quality has met our expectations. When we needed spare parts for the pump, the service team responded quickly and helped us minimize downtime. Based on our experience, Henyo has become a trusted partner for our future drilling projects.
Mohammed Al-Hassan
Drilling Operations Manager
“
We have evaluated several brands of solids control equipment over the past two years, and Henyo’s shale shaker and decanter centrifuge have delivered the most consistent performance. The equipment handles high-volume drilling operations smoothly and performs beyond our initial expectations. What impressed us most is the efficient fluid recovery, which helped us reduce drilling fluid consumption during this project. The cuttings discharge is also noticeably drier, making waste handling easier and helping us meet environmental requirements without issues.
John Miller
Procurement Manager
“
Before switching to Henyo’s integrated solids control system, we were using equipment from different suppliers, which created many compatibility issues. The shaker, cascade system, and centrifuge now work together smoothly as one complete solution. The centralized control system makes daily monitoring much easier for our team, and the centrifuge has maintained good performance after multiple wells. Henyo’s integrated approach has helped us improve operational efficiency and better control drilling fluid costs.”
