The Middle East’s drilling industry operates in some of the most challenging geological conditions—from high-pressure reservoirs to heavy, abrasive drilling fluids. For drilling companies in this region, maximizing operational efficiency, reducing mud waste, and ensuring compliance with strict environmental standards are top priorities. That’s where GN Solids Control’s Triple Shale Shaker with Mud Cleaner comes in—a integrated solution designed to tackle the unique demands of Middle Eastern drilling projects.
Why the Middle East Drilling Sector Needs Integrated Solids Control
Drilling in the Middle East often involves dealing with large volumes of drill cuttings and viscous mud. Traditional standalone shale shakers can struggle to handle the high solids load, leading to inefficient separation, increased mud loss, and higher operational costs. Additionally, disposal of waste mud in the region is heavily regulated, making it critical to recover and reuse as much drilling fluid as possible.
A triple shale shaker—equipped with three parallel screening decks—delivers higher processing capacity compared to single or double-deck models, ensuring that even large volumes of drilling fluid are efficiently screened. When paired with a mud cleaner (which combines hydrocyclones and a secondary shaker), the system takes solids control to the next level: it removes fine particles that the primary shakers might miss, further purifying the mud for reuse. This integration not only cuts down on mud purchasing costs but also minimizes waste, aligning with the Middle East’s growing focus on sustainable drilling practices.

Key Advantages of GN’s Triple Shale Shaker with Mud Cleaner
GN Solids Control, a leading provider of solids control equipment for the global oil and gas industry, has engineered its triple shale shaker with mud cleaner to address the specific needs of Middle East drilling companies. Here’s what sets it apart:
- High Processing Capacity: With a maximum handling capacity of up to 360 m³/h (depending on the model), GN’s triple shale shaker efficiently processes large mud volumes—critical for high-rate drilling operations common in the Middle East. The shakers feature adjustable vibration intensity and optimized screen angles, ensuring consistent separation even with heavy, high-solids mud. For detailed specifications on different models, check out GN’s Shale Shaker Product Line.
- Superior Particle Separation: The integrated mud cleaner uses high-efficiency hydrocyclones to target fine particles (down to 20-40 microns) that escape the primary shakers. These hydrocyclones work in tandem with a secondary shaker deck, ensuring that nearly all usable mud is recovered. This level of purification reduces the need for fresh mud additives, lowering operational expenses significantly. GN’s hydrocyclones are part of a comprehensive solids control system; learn more about their design and performance on the Hydrocyclone Product Page.
- Durability for Harsh Conditions: Middle Eastern drilling sites are known for extreme temperatures and dusty environments. GN’s equipment is built to withstand these challenges: the shaker frames are constructed from heavy-duty steel, and all electrical components are IP54-rated for dust and water resistance. The screens, a critical component of the system, are made from high-wear polyurethane or stainless steel mesh, ensuring long service life even with abrasive drill cuttings.

- Easy Maintenance & Compliance: GN prioritizes user-friendly design. The triple shale shaker features quick-change screen systems, allowing operators to replace screens in minutes—minimizing downtime. Additionally, the system is designed to meet the Middle East’s strict environmental regulations, with enclosed mud tanks and spill-proof designs that prevent soil or water contamination.
