The solids control industry recently welcomed an important milestone with the official release of the Group Standard for the “Negative Pressure Shale Shaker.” As one of the participating contributors in the drafting process, GN Solids Control has once again demonstrated its active role in promoting technical innovation and industry standardization.
Industry standards play a vital role in guiding product development, ensuring manufacturing consistency, and improving equipment reliability. The introduction of the Negative Pressure Shale Shaker standard provides clear technical specifications for the design, testing, and application of this advanced solids control equipment. It also offers a unified reference for manufacturers, drilling contractors, and service companies when selecting and operating this technology.

A Negative Pressure Shale Shaker represents a technological improvement over conventional shale shakers used in drilling fluid processing. By creating a controlled negative pressure beneath the shaker screen, the system enhances the separation process and improves the recovery of drilling fluids. This design allows operators to reduce fluid loss, decrease drilling waste moisture content, and improve overall efficiency in drilling fluid management.
As a global manufacturer specializing in solids control and drilling waste management equipment, GN Solids has long focused on technological research and practical engineering solutions. Through years of field experience and continuous product development, the company has accumulated valuable knowledge in screening systems, vibration mechanisms, and fluid recovery technologies. These experiences enabled GN Solids to contribute meaningful insights during the drafting of the group standard.
Participation in the development of this industry standard highlights the company’s commitment to advancing best practices and supporting the long-term growth of the drilling industry. By collaborating with other industry experts and organizations, GN Solids Control helps ensure that new technologies are introduced in a reliable, efficient, and standardized way.

The release of the Negative Pressure Shale Shaker standard also reflects the increasing demand for more efficient and environmentally responsible solids control equipment. As drilling operations become more complex and environmental requirements continue to rise, advanced separation technologies will play a more important role in improving operational performance while reducing waste and resource consumption.
Moving forward, GN Solids will continue investing in innovation, engineering optimization, and global cooperation. By combining practical field experience with advanced technology, the company aims to provide high-performance solids control solutions while actively contributing to the development of future industry standards.
The official publication of this new group standard represents both recognition of industry expertise and a step toward a more standardized and efficient future for solids control technology.
