30 Pcs of Mud guns shipped to India used for Mud tank system
The mud gun can be used to prevent the mud precipitation and transfer the active mud to each tank compartment in the mud system. The DC mud gun has 3 nozzles for rotation adjustment, allowing the operator to optimize the mud gun performance.
Last week, DC Solid control company shipped 30 pcs of mud guns to India clients used for Mud tank system. Mud gun in drilling fluids the processing system is always located at the corner of the tank to keep solids from settling. The impetus of the mud gun comes from a high pressure mud pump and jet mud mixer. Mud guns work with the mud agitator that are installed at the centre of the mud tank. In the drilling mud processing system, mud guns are often used in trip tanks, mud mixing tanks and mud storage tanks.
The number of mud gun depends on the size of tank. Usually mud gun installed with mud line of mud tank. According the inlet pipe size, there are 2’ mud gun and 3’ mud gun for option. According to different structure feature, there are two types of mud gun: fixed mud gun , and rotary mud gun.
DC Mud Guns are available for rotation adjustment to allow the operator to optimize the mud guns performance. The replaceable wear resistant jet nozzle is used, which is special design with better shearing. If you have interest with mud guns, please contact DC Solid control freely.
Why drilling mud cleaning system need jet mud mixer
Jet Mud mixer special equipment to prepare and increase the drilling fluids weight by adding and mixing bentonite, change the
fluid density, change the mud density, viscosity, and dehydration.
Jet Mud Mixer consists of one centrifugal pump, one feeding hopper and one jet mixer. Generally, there are still pipes and valves
connecting all these parts, the mud hopper matched on the jet mud mixer always 4″and 6″. And the centrifugal pumps can be matched
different flow and lift according to users need.
When the mixing hopper matched with a shear pump, the assembly unit is called jet shearing unit which is used to shear the polymer
drilling mud materials. As per customers’ requirement, the jet mud mixer could be designed as Twin-type of 2 hoppers and 2 pumps.
Jet Mud Mixer is a important equipment in the drilling mud recycling system.
Combining with venturi tube and original jet nozzle, DC’s new Jet mud mixer specializes in simple structure and easy manipulation
which can satisfy the drilling fluid’s need on weighting and compounding from 1500m to 9000m depth. DC’s jet mud mixer can be
customized to be double jet mud mixer based on customer’s need.
Major factors that affect the performance of jet mud mixer
Jet Mud mixer is a single jet mud mixing device that typically consist of a sand pump and a jet mixing hopper, they are connected by manifold valve and installed on a base or double jet mud mixing device that composed of two pumps and two mud hoppers.
Major factors that affect the performance of jet mud mixer:
- In the mixed funnel water along the loss must be as far as possible to reduce the otherwise processing capacity can be greatly reduced.
- In the nozzle from the Venturi tube’s gap to fit the best efficiency when the distance in the 32 – 90 m m, the general situation is not to be more than 90 m m, or heavy crystal stone feeding speed can significantly reduce. Exergy
- In the outlet pipe back pressure to the back pressure will reduce the mixing funnel processing quantity, excessive moderate. For example, when the nozzle outlet diameter is 50 m m in the nozzle to the Venturi tube’s gap is 90 m m, mixing funnel work pressure head of 21 – 23 m in back pressure value is not reached before the inlet pressure of the mixing chamber has 50% a high degree of vacuum in the back pressure values near the inlet pressure of 50% vacuum almost zero drilling fluid began to leak back flow in the bucket.
- The larger the inlet pressure, the higher the treating capacity of the jet mud mixer.
- Mixing hopper mounted higher back pressure, the higher the mixing capacity will be reduced.

How to choose and install jet mud mixer correctly
As with all equipments, jet mud mixer and associated equipment must be correctly chosen, calibrated and installed, to obtain the ideal working performance.
Need to satisfy the require of proportioning at scene. General requirements mixing hopper capacity shall not be less than 150m3/h. For the larger tank and great pump motor power, we can also use the mixing hopper with 300m3/h capacity.
In order to ensure the required well pressure, suggest that each drilling crew should equipped with a spare set of mixing hoppers, in most cases spare hoppers used overlap mode.
Try to reduce pipeline on-way resistance, thus the pipeline required short and thick, smooth bend. Jet hopper equipped with matching venture tube can improve treating capacity, speed up solid diffusion and avoid caking.
Strengthening the repair and maintenance, in most cases, the back pressure shall not be greater than 20% of the input pressure.
Another important consideration of install equipment is the drilling fluid required lifted height. If discharge needed to enter into different deck tank or a taunt tank and hopper, mix rate will be decreased. When the height from 1.83m to 3.66m, barite adding rate will be reduced to 17%. If the increased demand is very high, the pump capacity is insufficient, mixed ability will be greatly reduced.
From the preceding discussion show, jet mud mixer can work effectively, but the jet mud mixer unreasonable installation will cause a lot of problems. If we can choose, install and debug charging system correctly, the work load of whole system maintenance will be reduced, the drilling fluid cost will be decreased, the working hours of treating drilling fluid also will be reduced.
Drilling jet mud mixer for solids control system
Jet mud mixer is used to make up drilling fluid or increase total amount of the drilling fluid, change the fluid density, viscosity, and dehydration. When making up again, put the materials of drilling fluid (such as betonies and barite powder) and corresponding chemical additives (such as polymer) into the recycle tank through the jet unit. If put them directly, the materials of drilling fluid and chemical additives will be deposited largely or dump together and we can’t obtain diffused and well-proportioned drilling fluid.
Jet mud mixer device generally consists of a sand pump and a jet flow mixed funnel with manifold valve connection and are installed in a pedestal called the single jet mud mixer device, or by two pumps and two mix slurry funnels called double jet mud mixer device.
Following is the main factors of affect jet mud mixer performance:
The gap between nozzle and venturi tube must be suitable, when reach optimum efficiency, the gap is 32~90mm, usually don’t more than 90 mm, otherwise the feed speed of barite will be significantly reduced.
Mixed hopper hydraulic linear loss should be tried to reduce, otherwise the treating capacity may be decreased greatly.
The return pressure of outlet pipe needed moderate, overlarge return pressure will reduce the treating capacity of mixed hopper.
The higher inlet pressure is, and the larger treating capacity of mixed hopper is.
The taller installation of mixed hopper is, the higher return pressure is, mixed capacity will be reduced. For example, if mounting height from 1.8 m to 3.66 m, treating capacity will fall by 17%.
Drilling mud mixer is a kind of equipment which matching with petroleum drilling solids control system, using it to satisfy drilling fluid of weighting and preparation. So that we must ensure the performance of mud mixer is good.
