with rectangular openings.
The two fine screening layers over
a support cloth provides superior
performance in blinding applications and
yields excellent capacity with screen life
equal to XL mesh. While the fine wire
diameter provides excellent capacity,
this mesh type has shorter screen
life and lower separation efficiency
compared to our other mesh types.
Ultra-Fine (XL) screen

The Ultra-Fine (XL) screen has been
specifically designed to cope with drilling
sandstone formations, which typically
present blinding problems using standard
screen mesh types. Our XL mesh
features two fine screening layers and a
support mesh and Square openings with
fine wire diameters offering improved
capacity, screen life, and blinding
resistance compared to TBC. The odd
opening size distribution and movement
between layers helps resist blinding.
Patented XR mesh
Rectangular openings, larger diameter
wire combined with our patented cloth
calendaring design gives XR mesh
excellent capacity and the longest
screen life in the industry. XR mesh
coupled with DURAFLO technology
allows best in class fluid-handling

results in reduced mesh loading when
compared to traditional mesh types.

VACUUM COLLECTION SYSTEM
Cuttings Management: Cuttings Collection and Transportation VACUUM COLLECTION SYSTEM

Vacuum Power Skid
The VACUUM COLLECTION SYSTEM is a powerful drill c uttings collection
system designed specifically for the oil industry. Easy to install with
little or no welding required, it minimizes costly rig time for preparation
and installation. At the heart of the system is the VACUUM POWER SKID.
Patented,1 the “QUIET VAC † ” Power Skid f eatures a sound-insulated
enclosure and an explosion-proof Class I, Zone II electric motor.

Rig Vacuum Tank (RVT)

The RVT is an interceptor tank for liquids and solids which sits in front
of the VACUUM POWER SKID. It has a level switch which will stop
vacuuming operations when the tank need emptied, preventing carryover
of material to the VPS. The RVT is used in conjunction with vacuum
cuttings box filling to prevent any carryover of material from a full box.
