As it’s known to all, solids control and waste management equipment need to be explosion proof certificated in order to use in the oil and gas area considering the harmful air or dust in the drilling rig site.
According to ATEX Directive 99/92/EC or ATEX 137 Workplace Directive, it gives us the definition of different levels of dangerous drilling rig site environments. ATEX is classified into ATEX Zone 0, ATEX Zone 1 and ATEX Zone 2, the smaller no it has, the more dangerous it is. So ATEX Zone 0 is the most dangerous classifications which need to be pay great attention.
In many drilling rig sites or workplaces which may produce or contain explosive atmospheres, this is includes explosive air (gases, vapours and mists) and explosive dusts. In order to tell the difference of explosive dusts, ATEX is also classified into Zone 20, Zone 21 and Zone 22.
The explosive air is directly related to drilling rigs, oil & gas platforms as well as storage facilities. So usually when GN provides explosion proof standard solids control and waste management systems to drilling customers, we need to know what explosion proof standard suit for customers.

GN Manufactures Various Mud Plants (B)

As discussed before, GN Solids Control is very professional to provide customized solutions for various mud plants. Depend on the stock volume of various mud, such as water base mud, oil base mud, synthetic base mud or completion drilling fluids, GN mud plants are divided into different stocking area, each area will be separated by wall.
So continue our last time conversation, 12 – 1000 BBL storage Tanks. All tank interiors and manifold lines must be coated to handle Calcium Chloride, Calcium Bromide and Zinc Bromide completion fluids.
Here are some other questions need to know when designing GN Mud Plant:
1. What’s the maximum dimension for the single tank? This depends on a vertical (base of tank could be as much as 20 feet or more) or horizontal tank (approximately 10 foot by 40 foot). Vertical tanks preferred unless otherwise advised.
2. What is the maximum space do you have for the Liquid Mud Plant? How big is the yard space we will be building the liquid mud plant upon? Minimum of 10 acres (approx 40,000m2) for the liquid mud plant and warehouse….sufficient space is available. No issues
3. What’s the solids control equipment you need on the MP? For example, shale shaker and high speed centrifuge to recycle and reclaim the used mud that is sent in for storage/resale……shale shaker dressed with 200 mesh screen (74 micron cut) / 4-inch cone desilter for micron cut 15 -20 / Centrifuge to remove particles down to 3 microns ( all three mounted in series}….MUD FROM SHAKER PIT FEEDS THE DESILTER, MUD FROM THE DESILTER PIT FEEDS THE CENTRIFUGE….to progressively remove smaller particles.
4. What type of the drilling mud & completion fluids will we be handling? Clear Brine Fluids, Diesel Oil Base Mud, Synthetic Oil Base Mud or Water Base Mud? Clear Brine Fluids (two cartridge filtration unit helpful…initial filtration), Water Base Mud, Diesel Oil Base Mud & Synthetic Oil Base Mud (prepared with Total Energy edc-99dw base oil).

GN Manufactures Various Mud Plants (A)

GN Solids Control has manufactured hundreds of mud tanks based on customers’ particular demands. GN Solids Control is especially good at providing turn-key solutions for customers. Although one hundred customers may have one hundred mud plants they want, today we would like to give you a rough idea on how the mud plants are composed.
So here are some main factors you should know, the first important thing you need to know is the total volume of the mud plant. This depends on the mud weights you will need to store for your customer(s) and storage for mud that is returned, base oil tank and pneumatic barite tanks. Mud Plant System
Also, the type of mud/fluids that we will be handling. There be completion fluids, water base mud, diesel based oil mud and synthetic oil base mud?….As you know, deep water drilling operations need enormous mud volume…..from technical, economic & environmental considerations….can we, in the business presentation, look at the following : total vol 50,000 bbl ; 70,000 bbl & 90,000 bbl Or scale-able ( in each case there are also 10,000 bbl base oil tank , 200 mt for Bentonite silos & 1000 mt P-Tank with a scale for barite). Open to advice on all of these.
Often, premix is made in the Liquid Mud Plant, and is then weighted up on the rig. Rig returns are often stripped of solids at the Liquid Mud Plant using shaker/ desilter / High Speed Centrifuge system….please see item 4 below. Clear Completion Fluids – 3 stock tanks (1000 BBL each), 1 – 500 BBL Mix Tank + 1-500 BBL Blending Tank (side by side with two power packs / 6” X 8” CENTRIFUGAL PUMP WITH DIESEL POWER 671 / Mix Tank Feature: 4” Hopper, Grated Top with Safety Rails, 6” Fill Line 4” & 6” Suction Lines, 2 Adjustable Gun Lines – Blend Tank – Grated Top with Safety Rails, 6” Fill Line 4” & 6” Suction Lines, 2 Adjustable Gun Lines.
