SOLIDIFICATION
Bentonite is a clay-like mineral that is composed of smectite and montmorillonite. These minerals are hydrated aluminium silicates, which swell in water to form a gel-like material. Bentonite is used as a soil conditioner, as it increases the water-holding capacity of soils, and it is also used as a sealant in geotechnical applications.
Bentonite has been used as a solidification product for treating wastewater. In this application, bentonite is mixed with the wastewater to form a gel. The gel traps the pollutants in the wastewater and prevents them from escaping into the environment. Bentonite can also be used to solidify oil spills.
Bentonite has many advantages over other solidification products. It is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and can be an economical solution. It can also be used in a variety of applications, including soil improvement, wastewater treatment, and oil spill remediation.
SHAKER SCREENS
HIGH QUALITY SHAKER SCREENS
Mud shaker screens are an important part of the drilling mud system. They play a critical role in keeping the drilling mud clean and free of solids.
There are several different types of mud shaker screens, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common type is the vibrating screen. Vibrating screens use vibrations to move the solids through the screen. This type is efficient at removing small particles, but can be less effective at removing larger particles.
Another type of mud shaker screen is the rotating screen. Rotating screens use a rotating drum to move the solids through the screen. This type is effective at removing both small and large particles, but can be less efficient than vibrating screens at removing smaller particles.
The final type of mud shaker screen is the perforated plate screen. Perforated plate screens use a series of plates with holes in them to remove the solids from the drilling mud. This type is very effective at removing small particles, but can be less effective at removing larger particles.
Choosing the right type of mud shaker screen is critical for maintaining a clean drilling mud system. Consider the size and type of solids that need to be removed and choose a screen that is best suited for those requirements.
DMD combines its best in class shaker screen product with unmatched customer service. As with all of our products, you can trust DMD to help keep your job site running as efficiently as possible. Please contact your DMD salesperson for more information about any of the shaker screens we offer.
PUMPS & EQUIPMENT
TOOLS OF THE TRADE
HDD drilling pumps
If you’re looking for a powerful and reliable drilling pump, an HDD drilling pump is a great option. These pumps are specifically designed for use with high-density drilling rigs, and they offer superior performance and durability.
HDD drilling pumps are available in both electric and hydraulic models, so you can choose the option that best suits your needs. Electric models are typically smaller and lighter, making them easier to transport, while hydraulic models offer more power and can handle heavier loads.
whichever model you choose, HDD drilling pumps are built to last. They feature heavy-duty construction that can withstand the tough demands of day-to-day use, and they come with a range of features that help make operation easier and more efficient.
For more information on these pumps and the options available, contact the experts at DMD.
TESTING EQUIPMENT & MORE
ALWAYS ON THE JOB
When it comes to drilling mud additive chemical testing, there are a few key factors that need to be taken into account. The first is the type of drilling mud that is being used. In general, there are three main types of drilling mud – water-based, oil-based, and synthetic-based. Each type of drilling mud has its own set of benefits and drawbacks, so it’s important to choose the right one for the job.
The second factor to consider is the specific additives that are going to be used in the drilling mud. Some additives are designed to improve the stability of the drilling mud, while others are intended to help keep the drill bit cool. It’s important to test each additive separately to determine how it will affect the drilling process.
Finally, it’s important to test the final mixture of additives and drilling mud. This involves combining all of the ingredients together and running a series of tests to see how they work together. By doing this, it’s possible to fine-tune the mixture so that it works best for the specific job at hand.
