What Aipu Solids Control does

Aipu Solid Control Co., Ltd is a privately held Chinese manufacturer of drilling mud solids control and drilling waste management equipment, headquartered in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, with a 50,000 m² production facility in Fuping County. Founded in 2012 in Tangshan and relocated to Xi'an in 2013 to access the Chinese oil & gas industry cluster, the company designs and builds equipment across the full solids control chain — shale shakers, mud cleaners, desanders, desilters, vacuum and centrifugal degassers, decanter centrifuges, centrifugal and screw pumps, mud agitators, jet mud mixers, and integrated mud tank systems for drilling rigs from 250HP to 3000HP and depths from 2,000m to 12,000m. Beyond core solids control, Aipu offers bundled solutions including Drilling Waste Management Systems (targeting ≤15% moisture in dehydrated solids), Mud Cooling Systems (reducing fluid temperature from 45-100°C to 30-50°C), and Oil Sludge Treatment Systems (achieving ≤2% oil content in processed solids). The firm is API RP13C and ISO 9001/14001/45001 certified, has delivered 300+ systems across 20+ countries, and reached CNY 70 million in annual turnover by 2023 (up from CNY 40 million in 2017). Revenue is generated primarily through direct factory sales and authorized regional distributors (Dubai/GCC, Cairo/Egypt, Indonesia), targeting enterprise customers including CNPC, Sinopec, CNOOC, SLB, ADNOC, Kuwait Drilling Company, Pertamina, Petronas, and rig OEMs Honghua and Jereh. The model is hardware-sales-led with quote-based pricing tailored to rig specifications, supplemented by installation supervision, commissioning, operator training, and a 10-year spare parts commitment.
