Reviewing equipment specifications for shale shaker procurement is a critical step that helps avoid costly mis-specification. Aipu Solids Control provides specification review services that verify proposed equipment configurations against operational requirements and identify potential issues before procurement is finalized.
Systematic Requirements Verification
Specification review begins with systematic comparison of proposed equipment against defined operational requirements. Aipu engineers verify that shaker processing capacity includes adequate margin above maximum anticipated circulation rates, vibration technology matches the expected range of formations and mud types, screen area and configuration support the planned screen strategy, electrical specifications align with rig power supply, and dimensional requirements fit within allocated space. Any discrepancies between specifications and requirements are identified and addressed before equipment is ordered.
Completeness and Consistency Checking
Equipment specifications must be complete and internally consistent. Aipu specification review checks for missing information—incomplete electrical specifications or undocumented interface requirements—that could cause procurement or installation problems. Internal consistency is verified to ensure that related specifications do not conflict. For example, specified processing capacity must be consistent with specified screen area and vibration parameters. These checks prevent the common problem of specifications that contain contradictory requirements.
Standards and Regulatory Compliance
Specifications must align with applicable standards and regulations. Aipu review verifies that specified equipment meets API requirements, addresses regional hazardous area classifications, complies with local electrical codes and standards, and meets any operator-specific equipment standards that apply to the project. Compliance issues identified during specification review can be resolved before procurement, avoiding the risk of accepting non-compliant equipment or the cost of later modifications.
Supplier Qualification Verification
Equipment specifications are only meaningful if the supplier can deliver compliant equipment. Aipu specification review includes assessment of whether the specified manufacturer has the certifications, quality systems, manufacturing capability, and track record to supply equipment meeting the specifications. This due diligence helps prevent the situation where a low-cost bid is accepted only to discover that the supplier cannot actually deliver compliant equipment.
