Mud Tanks on Drilling Rig are the core equipment of the drilling fluid circulation and solids control system. They are used for the storage, purification, mixing, and circulation of drilling fluids, and are widely applied in land drilling rigs, offshore platforms, HDD projects, and complex geological drilling operations. The complete series complies with international standards such as API, ISO, and CE.
Product Advantages
High-Strength Tank Structure
The tank adopts a corrugated panel or flat-cone structure, fabricated with welded steel plates and structural steel, offering high strength with reduced weight. The sloped bottom or arc-bottom design, combined with quick-open sand discharge doors, ensures thorough solids removal without residue.
Efficient Mud Cleaning & Circulation
The multi-compartment layout integrates mud agitators, jet mud mixing systems, and a five-stage solids control process including shale shaker, vacuum degasser, desander, desilter, and decanter centrifuge, ensuring stable mud properties and accurate fluid mixing.
Safe, Durable & Corrosion-Resistant
A high-performance three-layer anti-corrosion system—featuring epoxy zinc-rich primer, micaceous iron oxide coating, and a polyurethane finish over a sandblasted surface—protects the tank, providing excellent resistance to salt, alkali, and corrosion. Galvanized anti-slip grating, foldable guardrails, and explosion-proof electrical controls ensure operational safety and compliance.
Modular Design for Easy Transportation
Hammer union and fiberglass pipe connections provide reliable sealing and quick assembly/disassembly. The skid-mounted modular design is convenient for transportation, rapid rig-up, and reduced relocation costs.
Large Capacity & Customization
Effective capacity can reach up to 480m³, suitable for 250HP–3000HP drilling rigs. Tank capacity, layout, and connection interfaces can be customized according to well depth, mud circulation rate, and site requirements.
Applications
Widely used in onshore oilfields, offshore drilling platforms, shale gas and coalbed methane drilling, HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling) projects, and other industrial drilling operations. The systems have been successfully supplied to major oilfields in China and exported to more than 30 countries and regions including the Middle East, Central Asia, and Russia.
Quality & Service
All products undergo pressure testing, sealing inspection, explosion-proof verification, and weld flaw detection before delivery to ensure reliable quality.
We provide complete services including system design, installation and commissioning, operator training, and 24-hour technical support for worry-free after-sales service.
