A complete track-mounted mud system has successfully passed its running test and is now ready for dispatch to an Australian customer. This highly versatile mud treatment system combines several key components, designed for maximum mobility and efficiency in challenging environments. It was designed and made by GN Solids Control.
At the heart of the system is a combination of shale shaker and desilter hydrocyclone assembly, which are essential for efficient mud separation. These units are accompanied by a feeding pump, a small mixing hopper, and a mixing pump, ensuring the system is capable of handling the full spectrum of mud treatment needs. Additionally, the entire system is controlled by an integrated electrical control system, which allows for easy operation and monitoring of all components. The system also features a built-in lighting setup, ensuring optimal visibility even in low-light conditions.
To provide the necessary power for operations, the system is equipped with a small generator, which ensures that all components run smoothly and independently, regardless of external power sources. All of the equipment is mounted on a compact mud tank, which is designed for easy transport and storage. The system is further enhanced by a trailer skid, offering both stability and mobility during transport and setup. Hydraulic jacking legs are included to provide secure positioning on uneven terrain, offering added stability during operation.
One of the key features of this track-mounted system is its advanced mobility. The system can be moved forward or backward using a remote control, which provides excellent maneuverability in difficult terrains. It is also capable of turning and climbing slopes, making it suitable for a wide range of road conditions and environments.
Track-mounted mud treatment systems are commonly used in geothermal well drilling, water well drilling, and other trenchless projects. Their compact design, combined with powerful mud treatment capabilities and enhanced mobility, makes them ideal for operations in remote or difficult-to-access locations. This system’s versatility and efficiency ensure that it will meet the demanding needs of the Australian customer in a variety of challenging drilling environments.
