As a tank cleaning unit manufacturer in China, GN produced automatic tank cleaning system mainly consist of 3 components, tank cleaning unit, buffer tank, inclined plate clarifier (IPC).
The general working process is as below:
The high pressure centrifugal pump transfer the clean water from buffer tank to tank cleaning unit to clean the mud tank. GN provide automatic flushing gun to clean the mud tank, which can be designed as skid mounted with frame for offshore drilling application. According to client’s requirement, we can design 1 unit flushing gun or 2 units of flushing gun according to client’s requirement.
The suction pump transfer the washed water from mud tank through the strainer ( to filter the coarse solids bigger than 2mm), then through the static mixer to inclined plate clarifier. In the meantime, the chemical dosing unit supply chemical to the static mixer with the washed water to improve the separation efficiency in the inclined plate clarifier.
The inclined plate clarifier separate the settled solids out and the treated water will overflow to buffer tank. The membrane pump will take out the settled solids from IPC to waste box.
The whole tank cleaning unit can be controlled by the explosion proof control panel on the skid.
After long time operation, the solids control system mud tank need to be cleaned due to the accumulated solids on the tank bottom, which will influence the mud density, to keep the drilling fluids balancing, tank cleaning unit is necessary to be applied.
Except for tank cleaning unit, GN solids control also produced oil sludge separation unit to treat oil tank bottom oil sludge for oil recovery, solids discharge and water treatment. If you need mud tank cleaning machine, tank cleaning slurry treatment unit, oil sludge treatment system, pls contact with GN sales engineer.
