A mud tank is a large storage container used to hold reserves of drilling fluid, also known as drilling mud, for a drill rig. Drilling fluid is used to reduce friction on drill components to allow them to work harder and faster with less risk of breaking down. Numerous companies manufacture and refurbish mud tanks of various shapes and sizes for industrial use, and contractors who specialize in cleaning tanks and other drilling equipment are also available. The cost for tanks and associated services varies widely, especially when custom designs are involved.
Mud tanks play an important role in solids control system. It is the base of solids control equipments, and also the carrier of drilling fluids.
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. Normally the shale shaker and vacuum 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.
KOSUN, as a professional solids control system manufacturer in China, obtains much experience in designing & manufacturing all these drilling mud recycling system, such as shale shaker, desander, desilter, mud cleaner, vacuum degasser,decanter centrifuge, submersible slurry pump,shear pump,centrifugal pump,mud agitator, mud gun, shale shaker screen,jet mud mixer,mud tank,etc. and have exported to many countries & obtain good reputation with qualified products & superior service.
