The MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker is designed to provide primary solids removal from both oil-based
mud (OBM) and water-based mud (WBM) during drilling operations. Fluid from the wellbore is pumped up for
processing. Depending on rig site conditions, this fluid can be processed before it reaches the Shale Shaker or
stored in a tank. From the holding tank, fluid is pumped into a number of Shale Shakers to separate waste solids
from viable drilling solution. Dried solids are collected and hauled away as waste, and the processed liquid is
either routed to another storage tank for evaluation or pumped directly back into the wellbore.

5.2 Variations Among MONGOOSE PRO Configurations
M‑I SWACO offers a variety of MONGOOSE PRO configurations; this content will help operators become
familiar with the particular model they will be using. Below is a configuration overview.
•Shaker with Header Box
oThe fluid distribution system is at the rear of the shaker basket and is mounted above the screen deck
(Refer to Figure 2).
oFluid is redirected from the inlet line through the header box into a half pipe at the rear of the basket.
Since fluid distribution is mounted above the screen deck, no trap exists to collect solids. As fluid passes
through the diverter box, it sweeps the box clean.
Figure 2. MONGOOSE PRO with Carbon Steel Header Box
•Shaker with Possum Belly with Butterfly Valve Bypass
oThe manually-adjustable butterfly valve is located below the main inlet on the possum belly (Refer to
Figure 3).
oWhen the valve is closed, fluid flow is directed through the possum belly to the shaker bed.
oThe butterfly valve bypass is opened by rotating the valve 90°. When butterfly valve is opened, fluid is
redirected into the skid, bypassing the screens.
Figure 3. MONGOOSE PRO with Butterfly Valve Possum Belly

M‑I SWACO MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker
5 Field Installation and Operation Manual 9092F02001AENG (D) 5
•Shaker with Vent Hood
oThe optional stainless steel vent hood (Refer to Figure 4) covers the exposed basket area of the shaker
and offers a 10”, 150LB fume extraction port used to divert fumes safely away from the shaker.
oAccess panels line the sides of the hood to allow operators to install or remove screen wedges and
screens.
oThis option is critical on rigs that house shale shakers indoors.
Figure 4. MONGOOSE PRO with Vent Hood
•Dual & Triple Shakers with Common Possum Belly and Knife Gate Bypass
oThe knife gate is controlled by a single rotating hand wheel (Refer to Figure 5 & Figure 6).
oWhen the knife gate is opened, fluid is redirected into the skid bypassing the screens.
oThe manually operated header box slide gates are used to control the flow rate to each shaker.
