Sell Mud Storage Tank

Description

Mud tanks is an important part of the solids control system.

Solids control equipments that are all mounted on the top of mud tanks include the followings:

• shale shaker
• vacuum degasser
• desander
• desilter
• centrifuge
• mud agitator
• Vertical slurry pump

Drilling fluids flow into the shale shaker directly after it returns to the surface of the well, and the solids that are removed by the screen would be dischanged out of the tank, and the drilling fluids with smaller solids would flow through the screen into mud tank for further purification. A centrifugal pump would sucks the shaker-treated fluids up to the desilter or mud cleaner for further purification. And vertical slurry pump is used to pump the drilling fluids up to the centrifuge,and mud pump would pump the drilling fluids from mud tank into the borehole after it is treated by centrifuge. And the circulation system would continues.

The number of the mud tanks that are needed on the drilling rig depends on the depth of the well, and also the mud demands of drilling. Nomally the shale shaker and vecuum degasser and desander are mounted together on the same mud tank as the first tank at the oilfield, while desilter and centrifuge on the second tank. and also the drilling rig would has other different tank as reserve tank,emergency tank,etc.
