Each horizontal directional drilling (HDD) rig — two 440,000-lb rigs and one 625,000-lb rig, typically circulating 375 gpm and drilling up to 44-in. holes — was paired with a mud recycling system having four conventional shakers running flat mesh screens. DSS also utilized a secondary mud system with two additional conventional shakers for further polishing of the primary mud system overflow and to perform mud mixing.

// ** Advertisement ** //Directional Service South’s objectives included implementing a single high-performance system (replacing the six shaker system presently in use) that could effectively mix and recycle mud at rates up to 375 gpm, assuring the mud system was no longer the bottleneck of the drilling operation and reducing the frequency of rebuilding their mud pumps.

Drilling or tunneling performance is directly related to the overall cleaning ability of the separation equipment. Drilled solids remaining in the slurry have numerous adverse effects on the overall operation, significantly reducing its profitability. Consequently, selecting the proper separation equipment for your fleet is just as critical as choosing the correct drill or tunnel boring machine.

Throughout this time, Derrick has remained dedicated to complete in-house manufacturing of every machine, screen panel, and tank system. Each unit is created and assembled at Derrick’s Buffalo, New York headquarters facility.
One Hyperpool shaker would handle primary screening, while the second unit, fitted with a 10-cone inline desilter package, would handle finer particle separation. Both shakers would utilize Derrick Pyramid screens that fully comply with API RP13C standards.
