20 Cubic Meter Drilling Fluids Mud Tank for Solids Control System
A mud tank is a large container used to contain drilling fluid, also known as drilling mud for drilling rig. AIPU Solids Control produces mud tanks of various shapes and sizes for drilling use. For land rigs, most mud pits are rectangular steel construction. They are set in series for the mud circulation system. On most offshore rigs, pits are constructed into the drilling vessel.
Mud tanks are constructed from weld-up steel plates and tubes. The bottom of the tank can either be square or cone-shaped. A tank can have several compartments.
Mud tanks have different capacities for different storage functions attached to different oil and gas industries.
Mud tanks are able to treat, mix, and store drilling fluids, which makes them extremely important to the oil and gas industries. they are also used in application to remove unwanted solids and sediments from the drilling and boring systems.
For safety reasons, a catwalk with guard rails may be installed at the top of the container. this allows workers to inspect the dilling fluids without the danger of falling into it.

The number of mud tanks that are needed on a drilling rig depends on
1. the depth of the well and
2. the amount of mud that requires drilling
Drilling fluids mud tank types
A mud tank is classified as either active or reserve. You can find many tanks in one oil rig. While the rig doesn't use all the tanks at once, it does use several.
An active tank holds the mud that circulates during drilling. The number of active tanks depends on the volume of mud required to keep the hole full. It's also vital that the amount of mud is sufficient for proper circulation.
An active tank can have different compartments with different roles. for example, the suction tank is where the pump picks up the mud that is used for the hole. the active tank can also have a chemical tank for mixing different chemicals and additives.
The reserve mud tank is not a part of the drilling process, but it has some critical functions. it can store excess mud and sometimes heavy mud for emergencies.
The role of drilling fluids mud tank in solids control
Solids control is a method of separating the solids and sediments from the drilling fluids. Generally, a solids control system consists of mud tank, shale shaker, vacuum degasser, mud desilter, mud desander, centrifuge, mud agitator. The shale shaker, the vacuum degasser, and the desander are mounted together on the same mud tank. The desilter and the centrifuge are mounted on the second tank.
All AIPU mud tanks meet the highest standards of safety inspection and offer highly efficient containment and treatment solutions for your drilling projects.
