Mud tank is petroleum drilling fluid solid control system, it is mainly including FG and ZG petroleum drilling mud tank, mud tank circulating system according bottom tank shape is divided into square tank and tapered tank. The tank use flat taper structure or corrugated structure, the steel plate and structural steel installed and welded.

Mud tank circulating system tank surface matched rinsing pipeline to clean tank surface and equipment, the tank surface halftone use soak zinc processing. The upper tank ladder use U-steel as the main body, using anti-skidding halftone as the footstep, the bilateral guardrail set insurance hooks. Petroleum drilling mud tank has standard sand prevention, prevent canopy, the tank set central heating pipeline.
 

Mud Tank Separation

There are many ways to configure your mud tanks below your drilling solids control equipment. The most common practice requires three sections. Under your shale shaker you have the first section known as the sand trap where the mud to be pumped from this section goes through your Desander. This cleaned mud is then dumped into the second section known as a silt tank. The mud is picked up then pumped through your Desilters. The Desilters dumps the cleaned mud into the third section, know as the clean mud or mixing tank. This will be picked up by the pump to be pumped back into your bore hole.

Combination Desanders/Desilters are common when the volume being pumped is under 500 GPM. The tank separation in this application can be achieved with two sections in the mud tank. A clean section where mud to be mixed and pumped down hole is located. The second section is under the oilfield shale shaker where the contaminated mud is picked up and processed by the desander/desilter combination.
