How to Calculate Mud Tank for Solids Control System

As is known, solids control system or mud system is always used for oil and gas drilling, HDD, tunneling and so on. GN Solids Control is specialized in manufacturing and supplying solids control equipment and system. I think, the four stage equipment for a complete solids control system has covered the internet, as simply listed as shaker screen, desander, desilter or mud cleaner(the combination of desander and desilter), and decanter centrifuge. Besides, we certainly need collecting containers for the processed mud, that is mud tank. For a required treating capacity, how to calculate a satisfy mud tank? It is easy to calculate a mud tank with small volume, since there may be no restriction for transportation and shipping. But how about a larger volume, even huge volume?

As a top manufacture of solids control equipment, Hebei GN Solids Control Co., Ltd also manufactures matched mud tank for a system. As to large treating capacity designed for a complete solids control system, when choose the mud tank, you should consider several things which is very important.
The first one is inland transport restriction in user’s country. You should keep in mind it when calculating, and meanwhile you should learn whether the user will dismantle equipment while transportation or not( for the solids control equipment is usually installed on the mud tank). The second thing you should learn the shipping restrictions. Generally, there are three kinds width for your choice, the smallest one is for inside container shipment, which is more cheaper and convenient; the medium is container shipment, the largest one is bulk cargo shipment, which is more expensive and harder to find ship. The third thing you should consider is sand pumps attached on the mud tank, which will increase the length. GN solids control always considers completely to design the most suitable mud tank.
