Offshore drilling operations place extreme corrosion demands on a shale shaker that only purpose-engineered corrosion resistant equipment can meet. Aipu Solids Control provides Hunter series shakers specifically configured for offshore environments, combining API Q1 certified manufacturing quality with comprehensive corrosion protection for marine service.
The offshore environment combines multiple aggressive corrosion factors. Salt spray continuously deposits chlorides on exposed surfaces. High humidity maintains the moisture necessary for electrochemical corrosion reactions. Salt water-based drilling fluids add internal corrosion from the process side. Limited space and difficult logistics make equipment replacement challenging and expensive. Aipu addresses these combined threats through a comprehensive corrosion protection strategy that ensures equipment performs reliably throughout its offshore service assignment.
Marine-Grade Corrosion Protection
Aipu offshore-configured shakers incorporate marine-grade corrosion protection throughout. Multi-layer protective coating systems formulated for offshore exposure provide effective barrier protection against salt spray and humidity. Stainless steel fasteners eliminate the galvanic corrosion that occurs with carbon steel hardware in marine environments. Composite frame screens eliminate screen frame corrosion entirely, maintaining consistent tension and separation performance without the degradation that affects metal screens in offshore service.
Hazardous Area Compliance
Offshore installations typically require explosion-proof electrical certification. Aipu provides shakers with certified explosion-proof motors from Ital-Vibras, Martin, and Oli, along with electrical systems meeting ATEX, IECEx, or regional hazardous area requirements. These certifications are documented and included in the equipment package, supporting the regulatory compliance requirements of offshore operations.
Compact Design for Offshore Space Constraints
Offshore deck space carries premium cost, making equipment footprint an important consideration. Aipu Hunter series shakers deliver high processing capacity—up to 420 cubic meters per hour in tandem configurations—within compact dimensions optimized for offshore installations. The Hunter-MG4D double-deck shaker effectively doubles screening area within the same footprint, addressing space constraints without compromising solids control performance.
Global Offshore Experience
With equipment operating successfully in over 30 countries, including offshore installations, Aipu has demonstrated the capability to deliver corrosion resistant shakers that perform reliably in marine environments. Our 50,000 square meter Xi’an manufacturing facility supports the quality requirements of offshore-grade equipment.
