No matter it is a large mud solids control system or a comparably smaller system, mud mixing system is an essential part. It consists of mud mixing tanks and its corresponding pipelines. Main components including following:
1. Mud mixing hoppers.
Mud mixing hoppers are hoppers with a venturi assembly. When the drilling mud are sucked by centrifugal pump from the larger side of venture to the smaller side of venture, through a nozzle, by venturi theory, there occurs a vacuum condition in the T shaped joint. And the chemical to be added into mud from the hopper was sucked in by this vacuum.
2. Mud mixing pumps. Always known as centrifugal pumps, normal quantity is 2 nos, paralleled installed to the mixing hoppers. By means of mud mixing pipeline which covers most tanks from active tank to storage tank, the mixing pumps can transfer drilling mud from everywhere.
3. Mud mixing tanks. The mud tank under the mixing hoppers is regarded as mixing tank. But in fact, because the complicated valves and pipelines for the centrifugal pumps used for mixing, the system can be fed by more than one tank.
A standard mud mixing system is also connected with the trip tank with mud gun pipeline. In this case, the mud mixing centrifugal pumps are also used for providing the sucking force for the mud guns. One of the mud guns is located in trip tank, for transporting drilling mud for trip tank.
