Oil Gas Drilling 6 Inch Carbon Steel Jet Mud Mixer

6 Inch Stainless Steel Hopper Jet Mud Mixer

Jet mud mixer is also referred as jet mud mixing pump or mixing hopper pump. It's combination of mud mixing hopper and centrifugal pump or shear pump. The hopper type can be Venturi or swirl type. The mixing pump is widely used in oil and gas drilling fluids process. It is used to compound new drilling fluids and mix the active mud when necessary. For some civil construction application, the mud mixing pump is widely used for bentonite mixing, too. Compared to mud agitator, the mixing pump can mix the fluids through whole mud system by connected lines and transfer compounded mud to any tank or compartment. 

In some mud system, the mud mixer is fit as integration on the mud tank skid. Some of them will be fit as separated pump and hopper. Some hoppers are set on tank top and connected with pump by pipe. While the oter mixing pumps are an assembly of pump and hopper on a separated base set beside mud tank. Different configuration meet the different requirement or demand of users. But the final result and effect is same. They need to produce new proper drilling fluids or drilling mud.

How to select the jet mud pump

Mud hopper pump capacity is defined by mud hopper size and pump. For example, the hopper including 4'' or 6'' port one. And the diameter is 400mm-700mm. For pump, the normal type for mixing hopper including APSB8X6, APSB6X5 and APSB5x4 driven by 75HP, 50HP, 30HP motor. The flow rate is about 400-1200GPM. To select proper mixing pump, please consider the flow rate of the whole mud system. Almost of clients prefer Venturi hopper to the swirl hopper because of high capacity and dust-free design. Furthermore, the Ventri hopper is more compact than swirl hopper 

Different configuration on jet mud mixer

In almost mud system, the mixing hopper pump is set at end of mud tank. They are assembly of hopper, pump, skid. In some system, there are 2 complete set of mixing pump. That means 2 hoppers and 2 centrifugal pump. For some clients, they prefer the separated mixing skid in a frame. The hopper can be in a separated frame or just a single hopper connected with all lines input and discharge. The pipings connected with mixing pump including the input line, discharge line, some are fit with T port for convenient mud transfer among tanks and compartments

In a complete mud system, how many sets mixing pump do we need? It's depending on mud flow rate of whole system. And the mixing pump can be assembled together with shearing pump we call it jet shearing pump. Furthermore, different users prefer different configuration on mud system. The mixing pump skid can be fit only one mixing hopper pump, or 2 sets of mixing hopper pump. And usually the 2 sets of mixing pump work simultaneously for sufficient fluids productivity

Besides the oil well drilling, mud mixing pump is widely used in HDD mud recycling system. The difference is usually the HDD mud mixing pump smaller than oil drilling one.
