GN Solids Control has successfully delivered eight sets of GN Jet Mud Mixing Hopper Units to a valued client in Europe. These systems will be used to support various drilling and mud preparation projects, ensuring precise and efficient mixing of drilling fluids for stable drilling operations.
Each mud mixing package includes a GNSB8×6 centrifugal pump (90kW), a venturi mud mixing hopper, and a heavy-duty skid base. The system is designed for rapid and homogeneous mixing of bentonite, barite, and other drilling additives into the active mud system, ensuring proper fluid properties for both onshore and offshore drilling applications.
The GNSB8×6 centrifugal pump serves as the power source for the jet mixing process. Built with wear-resistant materials and a compact design, the pump ensures long service life and easy maintenance. Its high flow rate and stable pressure performance make it ideal for continuous mixing operations in demanding drilling environments.
The venturi mixing hopper is equipped with a scientifically designed venturi nozzle that creates a strong suction effect, enabling fast and efficient blending of dry additives into the circulating drilling mud. The hopper is made of durable carbon steel with an anti-corrosion coating, ensuring reliability and consistent performance under high-pressure conditions.
All components are mounted on a solid structural skid base, allowing easy transportation, installation, and integration with existing mud systems. The modular design also enables flexible configuration with mud tanks, mixing systems, or solids control units, depending on site requirements.
The Jet Mud Mixing Unit is an essential part of any modern drilling fluid system, ensuring accurate control of mud density and viscosity. Properly mixed drilling mud not only stabilizes boreholes but also improves drilling penetration rates and reduces equipment wear.
GN Solids Control designs and manufactures a full range of mud mixing and solids control equipment, including shale shakers, mud cleaners, decanter centrifuges, and slurry vacuum pumps. With decades of experience and an extensive project record across more than 80 countries, GN provides customized and efficient solutions for oil & gas drilling, HDD, tunneling, and geothermal projects.
The successful delivery of these 8 Jet Mud Mixing Hopper Units once again demonstrates GN’s capability to provide reliable, field-proven equipment that meets international standards and supports global drilling operations.
