Jet Mud Mixer and Mud Mixing Pump for Solids Control System

Sep 05, 2013

In the way concerning drilling, a whole lot associated with gear facilities are indispensable together with needed. The drilling mud mixers are just one particular regarding them. Drilling mud mixer also can be named mud mixer. When the drilling fluids is required to increase in an effort to change its functions like density, viscosity, water loss, we should certainly place the drilling fluids material, including bentonite coupled with barite powder and so on, and additionally the corresponding chemical additives into the circulation tank. If they are directly put in, this may result in huge condensation of drilling fluids material and chemical additives and they cannot be scattered evenly by drilling mud desander. Particularly in an emergency of blowout, abundant compound materials will have to be prepared inside a short time which is not long enough mix them, so it must be accomplished with some auxiliary gears.

Jet mud mixer is usually installed at the end of the complete solids control system, or we could say that it is a unit placed besides the mud tank and used together with the solids control system. Unlike shale shaker, mud cleaner and decanter centrifuge, it doesn’t separate the large solid particles from drilling mud. However, it is still not ignorable.
 

 

Jet Mud Mixer



KOSUN has a complete line of mud mixing equipment designed to assist operators with the greatest available efficiency in blending. Bentonite, polymers and other powder additives have traditionally been added to assist in achieving the properties needed in drilling mud such as viscosity for cleaning the hole, controlling the water loss control and making the filter cake. On weighted mud applications, the ability to handle barite during potential blow-out applications is even more important. KOSUN Jet Mud Mixer is consisted of mechanical seal mixing pump and venturi hoppers. If it is used with shearing pump together, the effect will be more excellent, it can be designed as double jet mud mixer according to customers’ requirements. And installation for KOSUN's mixing pump and hoppers are flexible, either on a single skid or at tank end skid or even separately with hopper on tank top, and pump at tank side. All flexible design is to make the complete mud system compact and user friendly.

How to choose a mud mixing pump for drilling mud system?

The choice depends on the system handling capacity, for example, if there is a 3K oil well drilling mud process system holding 120m3/h capacity, the mud mixing pump will also need capacity up to120m3/h. Then the centrifugal pump should have flow rate up to120m3/h.

Usually, the mixing pump selection has correlation with flow rate, the horse power, the design of system as well as the tank construction

Then we need to take the tank storage capacity into consideration. And the jet mud mixer should finish mixture capacity up to storage capacity every 10-30 minutes.
