Tri-Flo 1200 Gallon Mud System
The equipment is based upon the highly successful Tri-Flo 1200 Gallon Mud System which has the following advantages:
Main Benefits:
- Cost effective method of re-cycling drilling muds.
- Reduces cost of supplying fresh mud.
- Avoids cost of disposing of liquid waste.
- Cut point of 16 micron removes particles which damage triplex pumps, whilst leaving the useful bentonite particles in suspension for re-use.
- The discharge from the cleaner is virtually dry, dramatically reducing disposal costs.
- Reliable and durable design, based on 20 years of field experience worldwide.
Detailed process features:
Pre-screening of the returned mud using a Tri-Flo 123 Shale Shaker.
This can handle a throughput of 150 USgpm (560 litres/min) and is designed to remove particles down to 178 microns. The "High G" elliptical shaker action produces a virtually dry product discharged from the top of the screen.
Secondary cleaning of the returned mud using a Tri-Flo 4 x 4" Mud Cleaner.
The mud is pumped through a bank of four Tri-Flo 4" Hydrocyclones where the larger particles are separated out by centrifugal force. The system is capable of a throughput of 150 USgpm (560 litres/min) and is designed to remove particles down to 16 microns. The larger particles are contained within a slurry which is passed over a second Tri-Flo 123 shaker with a finer screen, which again produces a virtually dry product.
Integral mixing system using a Tri-Flo 3" Jet Mixing Hopper.
This system allows fresh mud to be prepared very rapidly from bentonite powder, using the second centrifugal pump.
Large capacity storage facility.
A total of 1200 US gallons (4,500 litres) is provided, with a division separating the clean mud from the dirty mud in the ratio 60:40.
This provides the optimum balance for most drilling operations.
Integral charge pump to supply clean mud back to the drilling rig.
The second centrifugal pumps may also be used as a charge pump (when not required for mixing).
This provides a supply of clean mud under pressure to the high-pressure mud pump, avoiding problems of starvation and cavitation which can rapidly cause damage.
