GN Solids Control shipped one set of 14,000 BBL Rapid Liquid Mud Plant to a professional drilling fluids company recently, delivering a flexible, high capacity solution for large scale drilling operations. This system exemplifies GN’s capability to engineer robust mud storage and handling systems that meet the rigorous demands of modern drilling projects.
API-650 Design Standard
The mud plant is engineered in full accordance with API650, the American Petroleum Institute’s widely recognized standard for welded steel tanks for oil storage. This design specification ensures structural integrity, durability, and safety, making the storage tanks suitable for long term field service under demanding drilling conditions.
CSC Container Certification for Global Transport
Each mud tank is configured as a 40ft high container with a capacity of 440 BBL per tank. A key feature of this mud plant is its CSC (International Convention for Safe Containers) container certification. It enables intermodal transport compatible with standard ocean freight and land based container transportation workflows. The containerized design allows equipment to be rapidly mobilized and deployed across different drilling sites, making it particularly suitable for projects where site conditions and equipment locations change frequently.
Double layers Stacking for Space Optimization
To maximize the utilization of limited site space, the mud tanks are designed for double layer stacking. This configuration significantly reduces the overall footprint while maintaining the required storage capacity, offering drilling fluid companies greater flexibility in site layout.
