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.
