Ideal Mud Tank System

Maximized solids control

Mud tank systems are a critical component of any drilling operation for maximizing solids control efficiency and effectiveness.

The Ideal Mud Tank System is a two-tank unit with a total active (operating) capacity of 1,318 bbl (total/nominal capacity of 1,500 bbl).

The system comes complete with all the essential solids control equipment necessary for successful operations. Additionally, optional solids control configurations are available to suit the needs of specific applications.

Features/Benefits

Removable shaker skids
- Allow for quick and easy mobilization and demobilization
Processing equipment mounted on separate, removable skid
Vertical, direct-driven centrifugal pumps
- Minimizes the footprint required by the pumps
Centrifugal pumps and control manifold installed on a pump porch
- Provides easy access for controlling processes
Each centrifugal pump is in close proximity to a specific piece of equipment
- Allows for shorter piping runs with less friction
- Maximizes horsepower and hydraulic efficiency
Caustic barrel telescopes remain on tank during transportation
- Allows for quick and easy mobilization and demobilization; provides a safe way to add caustic to the mud system
With its total active (operating) capacity of 1,318 bbl (total/nominal capacity of 1,500 bbl), the Ideal Mud Tank System provides a volume usually achieved with a three-tank system while reducing transportation costs
Vortex breakers at each suction
- Prevents cavitation of centrifugal pumps
Minimal piping inside tanks
- Allows for proper agitation, thus improving homogenization of the mud
Integrated cement and active bypass
- Prevents equipment contamination
Sloped sand trap with integrated mud gun
- Facilitates quick, easy, and thorough cleaning
Complete system can be transported with only four trucks
- Permits quick rig-up and reduces transportation costs
30-in. distance between shakers (competition’s standard is 24 in.)
- Provides easy access to shakers for maintenance, screen changes, etc.
Electrical cable trays
- Eliminates cable sag
Collapsible handrails
Mud level sensors (optional)
- Provides well control; reduces contamination of the drill site
Hammerseal piping connections
- Guarantees proper alignment and positive sealing
Fold-down crossover walks between tanks
- Eliminates the need for a crane lift
Easy-access tank compartments
- Provides quick and easy access to tank compartments for maintenance, inspections, etc.
