Mud Solids Control Equipment

GN solids control has designed and produced many Liquid mud plant, and we can produce all the equipments for liquid mud plant, such as jet mud mixer, mixing hopper, centrifugal pump, decanter centrifuge, mud agitator, mud gun, mud mixing tank, pipeline system, electric control panel, etc.

Following is a proposal for a liquid mud plant for Brazil client. It has the following advantages.

liquid mud plant in Brazil

1 Mud Storage tank 6 sets, total 360m3(87176 US gallons)

2 11KW mud agitator, 3 sets for each storage tank , 2 sets for centrifuge tank

3 Mud gun NJQ50-3, 2 sets for each storage tank, Function1 : to agitate mud , Function2: to transfer mud

4 Centrifuge tank, Active capacity: 30m3

5 Middle speed centrifuge LW450x1000N, the function is to Clean drilling fluids,

Separated cut point: 5~7μm, treating capacity 50m3/h

6 Screw pump, it can pump mud from each tank to centrifuge for cleaning, after processing, they can flow to any tank through pipelines

7 Jet mud mixer SLH150-50 on separate skid (hopper+mixing pump)

The function is to prepare and weight drilling mud

1 )Unit capacity: 240m3/h, unit mixing speed: 100kg/min

2) #1 and #2 jet mud mixer can work separately, also can work at the same time

3) The mixing pump also can be used as transfer pump, to pump mud from one tank to another, or to other tanks out of this plant

4) Mixing pump can mix or prepare mud for any tank in this plant

8 Tank accessories, like walkway, hand rail, clean gate, man hole, stairs, etc

GN solids control manufacture 2” mud gun and 3” mud gun, and we have several sets of mud guns in stock.

There are 2 type of mud guns, the common one is top tank type, sometimes we design it as bottom tank type. Top tank mud gun is controlled by staff on the tank, the difference between GN mud gun and NOV mud gun is the nozzle numbers, we make to 3 nozzle numbers, which can jet more place in the tank so the agitating effect can be better.

What is the difference between tank top and tank bottom mud gun?1 tank top mud gun

 Tank top mud gun is usually with function of agitating, together with mud agitator, they are important equipments for drilling mud tank and mud mixing tank. And how many sets of agitator you have for the mud mixing tank, usually how many mud guns you have. But it also have exception, for example, when the tank room is very small, you have no room for the agitator, and the tank is not so large, you can use a mud gun instead, it is much cheaper, needs smaller area to install and convenient to operate, also do not need to use electric power, but use pressure to work, and you do not need to buy a lot of spare parts such as gear box, bearings for the mud agitator. Anyway mud gun has a lot of advantages but it can not replace mud agitator totally, the agitating effect is not so strong as agitator. We need to use them together to benefit from both of them.

2 Tank bottom mud gun

Tank bottom mud gun also called inner tank mud gun, its function usually not agitating, but transferring and mixing line. It transfers the mud from mud mixing tank to another tank.

Where is the pressure come from ?

For high pressure mud gun, the pressure came from mud pump, for lower pressure mud gun, the pressure came from mixing pump, it can mix and transfer drilling mud to another tank.
