JKZ designed and manufactured a specialized insulation type solids control system for arctic drilling operations in Northern Canada. The system was engineered to maintain optimal performance in extreme cold weather conditions, with temperatures reaching as low as -40°C.
The project involved a complete composition system including shale shakers, centrifuges, desanders, and desilters, all equipped with thermal insulation and heating elements to prevent freezing and ensure continuous operation.
