w w w. f l u i d s y s t e m s . c o m COMPANY PROFILE SOLIDS CONTROL EQUIPMENT
Fluid Systems, Inc. (FSI) began operations in early 1979 doing
developmental and engineering work on solids control equipment and
mud handling systems used on drilling rigs. The company has been
involved in furthering solids control technology for the oil industry
since its inception. The first type of equipment introduced was a line
of mud cleaners (hydrocyclones mounted over shaker screens) which
incorporated the use of linear motion in their design. In the early
1980’s, FSI was one of the first companies to introduce Linear Motion
Shakers, which have become the principal type of shakers in use
on drilling rigs today and was tagged by rig supervisors as a “rough
neck friendly” equipment. We developed a line of screen panels made
from the highest quality screen designed using our proprietary mesh
software for high liquid throughput, the maximum open area and op-
timum screen life using our state-of the-art facility. Our computerized
accelerometer testing allows our engineers to verify panel support
and rigidity. We have earned a reputation for quality, service, depend-
ability and equipment reliability around the world.
Fluid Systems, Inc. is now a worldwide provider of solids control ,
screening, waste management and process technology to the Oil &
Gas, Industrial, Environmental and Mining Industries. We can cus-
Ben Hiltl - President , CEO tomize your needs on zero discharge systems, dredging systems,
solids/liquid separation, filtration systems, micro tunnelling, waste
water processing, fine solids and sizing separation, agricultural sys-
tems, dewatering and HDD Systems .Our equipment innovations
include side-mounted high-‘G’ vibrators, WedgeLok™ fasteners and
pre-tensioned screen panels – all of which are being incorporated
by competitors today. Single Panel, Dual Panel, Triple Panel, Quad
Panel, and Five Panel Units are all available for varying process ap-
plications. Cascading Systems (Shaker-Over-Shaker) are available
for special applications where the footprint for installation is restricted.
FSI’s engineering department is always looking forward to the next
challenge, the next project , the next opportunity and the next frontier.

CUSTOM TRAILER DEWATERING SYSTEMS DEWATERING SYSTEMS

Dewatering Trailer with


liquid polymer system

The Customized closed loop/dewatering mobile units are designed to process waste mud from
the rig tanks or shaker skid liquid tank to produce clean water which is suitable for re-use on site
and solids which are more easily handled for disposal.

The units are contained inside weather proof enclosures specifically designed for work in harsh
and cold oilfield environments. The weather proof enclosures are designed for quick disassem-
bly and re-assembly in case the centrifuge or other equipment needs to be removed or replaced.
Sides are incorporated into the design for durability and protection each time the system is rigged
up or down. Heavy duty canvas tarps are stretched between the openings and attached to light
weight metal frame.

The unitized construction includes all re-


quested storage and mixing tanks as well as
required pumps. One feed tank that receives
mud from either the cuttings dryer shaker
skid or the rig tanks. The material in the tank
is then transferred to the centrifuge. There is
a platform and a ladder with an OSHA back
guard for easy access in the rear of the trailer
system. The 3 x 4 centrifugal pump is stand-
ard oilfield design made to withstand rigorous
applications. A high- low level alarm system is
built into the feed tank to closely monitor the
operations.
