500HP Drilling rig mud tanks system

March 19, 2011 - PRLog -- General information on 500HP drilling rig mud system

This mud tanks system holding process capacity up to 800GPM. Including recycling mud tank, mixing tank, or active tank.

For each tank, there will be certain compartments for specific equipments configuration. But the initial design will be 2 tanks sized 12.5x2.5x2.4m. The total effective capacity will be +/-700bbl. The clean mud capacity can be 620bbl

We can design mud mixing system as separated skid for this tanks unit. Then we can make effective capacity at maximum level.

The Mud tanks system details

This system including shale shaker, mud cleaner, centrifugal sand pump, mixing hopper. The design is shale shaker, mud cleaner centrifugal sand pumps mounted on first mud tank.

For the secondd tank, we can treat it as mixing tank or storage tank. And mud mixing pump is twin mixing hopper with centrifugal pump. The tandem jet mud mixer will be a separated skid but not on mud mixing tank.

To provide sufficient treating capacity, the centrifugal pump must have powerful strength or pumping pressure to feed drilling mud from tank to desander and desilter cones. Furthermore, the twin mud mixing hopper request sufficient discharge flow

Mud tanks compartment for equipments

The compartment under shale shaker is called shaker tank or compartment. The Desander centrifugal pump will feed drilling mud to desander cone from this compartment.  Under the shaker tank, the centrifugal sand pump is in the sland compartment.

Or they can be designed in front of mud tanks to save space as well.  Anyhow, when the drilling mud processed well by shaker, desander subsequently, then desilter cone will be feed by another centrifugal pump from desander compartment.

Then desilter cone separate particals larger than 15 microns. Clean mud will down to desilter compartment. Final compartment is mixing tank. The drilling mud after mixing by jet mud mixer will flow to mixing compartment. At this time, the mixing tank is storage tank also. So the final effective clean mud capacity is up to +/-600bbl.
