#mud system

GN is a top manufacture of solids control equipment in the world. It could manufacture various solids control equipment and packaged mud system.

 In this article, we will give a brief introduction about the packaged mud system.

Usually, 1 complete set of mud system should include the following equipment, such as the Shale Shaker, Desilter, Desander, Centrifuge, Centrifuge Pumps, Agitators, Mud Guns, Mud tanks and some other necessary components.

 For the mud systems that manufactured by GN, they are widely not only used in the oil & gas drilling industry, but HDD industry, coal bed methane drilling, water well drilling, geothermal well drilling, mining, piling works, tunnel construction, dredging construction. Sometimes they are also used for treating the industrial wastewater and executing the solid-liquid separation.

 As the mud system are widely used in different industries and different industries have different requirements, so there are always little or big differences between different requirement that used in different industries, such as,

1.Usually the packaged mud system used in the oil & gas drilling industry is very big, there are many different solids control equipment installed like shale shakers, mud cleaners, vacuum degasser, centrifugal pumps, jet mud mixer, agitators, mud guns. There are many mud tanks for different functions, some tanks will be used as storage tanks, some tanks will be used as mixing tanks, some tanks will service for the solids control equipment.

 2. The packaged mud system is small, such as used in the HDD industry and CBM drilling industry. The system structure will be compact and easily moved and the tank quantity could be limited and tank volume could be small.

 3. GN could manufacture the customized mud system according to the customer requirements, such as the specific onsite situation, the condition of drilling fluids, the desired treatment effect of drilling fluids.

MA series mud agitator is part of the drilling fluid solids control equipment, which is mainly used to agitate and mix the drilling mud to prevent solids particles from depositing in the circulating tank and to stabilize the performance of drilling fluid. It is composed of explosion-proof motor, speed reducer, motor base and blade. The motor and speed reducer, speed reducer and impeller shaft are connected by steel coupling. The impeller is welded with four blades.

Why is mud agitator widely applied in mud solids control system? The following will give you an answer:

1. Spiral bevel gear box

2. Outdoor explosion-proof electric motor

3. Able to process 20ppg drilling fluids

4. Power available ranging from 2.2 to 22KW

Magnetic drive agitating technology is successfully applied in chemical stirred tank reactor after technological reform and innovation based on magnetic coupling to replace dynamic seal with static seal for thoroughly solving seal failure and leakage pollution problem which is surmounted by mechanical seal and packing seal, realizing the chemical reaction of combustible, explosive and toxic agents under high temperature, high pressure, high vaccum degree and high revolution. Therefore, it is especially suitable for experimentation and production of drugmaking industry, cloth-dying industry, delicate chemical industry, micro-biological engineering industry, etc.

Mud agitator with regard to solids manage tend to be products which get rid of exercise cuttings in the drilling liquid whilst moving as well as drilling. mud agitator are utilized in order to procedure unweighted as well as weighted, water-based as well as oil-based drilling liquids. Mechanised power is actually employed to boost the gravitational pressure exerted upon solids which are contained in the actual dirt program. oilfield mud agitator can utilize more than 3, 000 G-forces about the liquid/solids blend, that sets apart the actual weightier solids in the lighter in weight solids. Furthermore, higher G-forces individual good solids through fluid.

For active mud system compartments less than 5 feet high (1.52 meter), as it is not much deep, flat impeller should be used to generate radial flow in the drilling fluids. if the impeller are properly located, it would produce axial flow on the mud flow in the compartment and suspension will be adequate for most application.

Maintenance of drilling fluids mud agitator:

1. mud agitator installation should be level and smooth lifting agitator placed in the position I want to install, adjust concentricity <0.39mm after four M16 socket welded to the tank and tighten the base bolt .

2. mud agitator rigid coupling spring washer must be installed and should be solid and reliable, otherwise it will cause waves axle deflection, exacerbated reducer wear.

3. mud mixer blender running should be no abnormal sound, cassette, high temperature and other abnormal situations. Otherwise, should stop to check, troubleshooting.

We know, decanter centrifuge is important equipment for oil and gas drilling field, especially for solids control and waste management. It is mainly used for recycling barite, eliminating small solid, reducing the solid content of drilling fluid, controlling the density and viscosity of drilling fluid, ensuring the performance of drilling fluid, and play an important role in drilling mud system.

There are different centrifuge model with different speed. How to match proper centrifuge speed for different projects ? This is an important issue.

Question 1: How to buy fixed speed decanter centrifuge or variable speed decanter centrifuge ?

Answer: in order to choose the right centrifuge model, we have to know the difference between the fixed speed centrifuge and variable speed centrifuge in structure.

Fixed speed centrifuge: with one small electrical control panel carbinet, which in installed on the centrifuge grating base. This panel is totally sealed Ex-proof panel, no air can come in or come out. Price of fixed speed centrifuge is relatively lower.

Variable speed centrifuge: with one separate control panel carbinet. This carbinet is bigger than fixed speed panel and cannot install on centrifuge grating base. This panel is positive pressurized control panel, Ex-proof, clean air supply the panel continuously during operation to make insides positive pressurized. Price of variable speed centrifuge is relatively higher than fixed speed centrifuge.

If the customer only wants to use the centrifuge for one usage, like barite recovery and only need one middle speed like 1800rpm, the user can choose KOSUN fixed speed centrifuge.

If the customer want to buy one centrifuge and use it for different project in different time, including barite recovery, mud weight cutting, dewatering centrifuge, waste water, waste management. The user may buy variable speed centrifuge for flexible application.

Conclusion: How to buy fixed speed centrifuge or variable speed centrifuge; please confirm the project details first.

Question 2: How to choose the speed when you have variable speed in jobsite ?
