The mud mixing system is used for directional drilling rigs to handle mud in the construction of directional drilling rig. The selection of mud mixing system generally follows certain principles. This article will share 4 principles of mud mixing system configuration, and how to choose a mud mixing system for directional drilling?
Mud mixing system types and specifications
Although the mud mixing system is non-standard equipment, there are still some mature system schemes, and it is necessary to understand the specifications of the conventional mud mixing system. Take the type of mud mixing system of the BWHDD series of Brightway as an example, specifically including: 200GPM type (45m/h), 250GPM type (60m/h), 350GPM type (80m/h), 400GPM type (90m/h), 500GPM Type (120m/h), 1000GPM type (240m/h), 1500GPM type (360m/h), etc.

Selection principle of mud mixing systems
The configuration principle of the mud mixing systems is mainly based on the tonnage of the drilling rig and the processing capacity of the mud pump at the construction site of the directional drilling rig. Of course, the need for special circumstances of on-site construction is not ruled out. Understand 4 points and you will understand how to choose a directional drilling mud mixing system.
Brightway mud mixing system in operation
1. The 1000GPM (240m/h) mud mixing system is mainly adapted to a mud pump with a flow rate of 4000L/min and an HDD non-excavation directional drilling rig with a return force of 500-800 tons. The mud mixing system is designed to handle 240m/h.
2. The 500GPM (120m/h) mud mixing system is mainly adapted to mud pumps with a processing capacity of 2000-2500L/min and HDD non-excavation directional drilling rigs with a return force of 250-350 tons. The designed processing capacity of the mud mixing system is 120m/h.
3. The 350GPM (80m/h) mud mixing system is mainly adapted to mud pumps with a flow rate of 1200-1500L/min and HDD non-excavation directional drilling rigs with a pullback force of 60-200 tons. The designed processing capacity of the mud mixing system is 80m/h.
4. The 200GPM (45m/h) mud mixing system is mainly adapted to 400-800L/min mud pumps and 80-160 tons HDD directional drilling rig rigs. The mud mixing system is designed to handle 45m/h.
