Title: Improve routing to improve solids screen-out
Text: "Routing of return mud to scalpers and shakers proved to be non-optimum, leading to a highly uneven loading of shale shakers. Moreover, routing of processed mud down the solids control array was often incorrect, leading to the by-passing of drilled solids. This non-optimum routing was corrected, yielding a much improved solids screen-out process and reduced dilution rates."
