Mud mixing system for HDD mud recycling system
GN Solids Control is China leading manufacturer of mud solids control systems, drilling waste management system, as well as high quality replacement shaker screen.
GN Solids Control makes a customized mud mixing system per client’s special requirement. The system was dispatched to the client weeks ago. The barite mixing mud system includes below equipment:
1. Oilfield skid Mud tank. 1 ea
It is a 20ft container size mud tank with two compartments.
Each tank compartment is equipped with a mud gun. Totally 2 ea mud guns for the tank.
2. Mud transfer pump 1 ea. It is a 11kw small centrifugal pump. The pump can transfer the new mixed mud to outside mud tanks or HDD drilling rigs, or mud systems. The mud transfer pump is mounted on the slope of the tank for compact design.
3. 1 ea mud mixing pump and 2 ea mud hoppers.
The mud mixing pump is the same type with discharge pump. They are both centrifugal pump for easy to stock spare parts.
The mud mixing pump and the mud hoppers are combined of a mixing unit.
Client wants the unit able to handle big bag system, they ask for the hanging device for bags. Hoppers are both down at the floor. So GN Solids Control customized a separate oil field skid to mounted all the mixing unit and the hanging device.
The mixing pump for mud hopper is 45kw with 3000-2000 l/min. Normally, it is 1 ea mixing pump is with 1 ea mixing hopper. Why there are 2 mud hoppers but only 1 ea mixing pump?
As the polymers are in big bags, they need to hang the polymers bag on top of the mixing hopper when they want to mix polymers. But they do not want to remove the polymer bag then when want to add other chemicals to the mud mixing system. In this case, they request an extra mud hopper. When they want to add other chemicals, they can close the polymers mixing hopper, and use the backup hopper.
