About mud guns

This powerful tool is designed to prevent mud from settling in the mud tank, making your job easier. Not only that, it can also be used as an auxiliary mixer to stir mud and clean the bottom of the tank, saving time and effort.

Drilling mud guns are available in low, medium and high pressure options so you can choose the one that best suits your needs. Additionally, you can choose between a fixed nozzle or a rotating nozzle, giving you greater control over its functionality. If that’s not enough, the length of the mud gun can even be customized to fit your specific requirements.

Mud agitator and mud guns are mixing equipment used in drilling mud process. They are operated at almost every stage of solids control.

Mud agitator advantage

1. Various of gear box and shaft, impeller can be combined together. More flexibility cater for most demand
2. Mud agitators perform higher efficiency in large vessel or container
3. Design the agitators per job requirement
4. Help expose more drilling fluid in air then lead lower temperature

Mud agitator advantage

Mud agitator disadvantage

1. They can't be used to mix drilling fluid in different compartment. Mud agitator can't be used to transfer drilling mud between compartments
2. Higher investment cost
3. Mud agitator requests larger space than mud guns
4. Almost mud agitators need electricity power
5. Maybe the blind area
6. May request installation plate

Mud guns advantages

1. It cost less than mud agitator
2. We can use the drilling pump when pump power is sufficient
3. Flow can be concentrated at certain area to decrease or eliminate blind area
4. Itself weight is much lighter than agitator
5. Increase shearing rate
6. Mud guns can be used to transfer and mix drilling fluid in different compartment

Mud guns

Mud gun disadvantage

1. If we use drilling mud gun we'll request many many gun. Thus the pump and pipes will cost much more
2. High pressure nozzle at surface may fill air into drilling fluid
3. The nozzle wearing may lead high velocity requests larger power; if nozzle is not replaced in time the motor my over-run
4. If the solid has become sedimentation and mud gun spray fluid directly to the solids the pump and centrifuge may be blocked.

Operate mud guns and mud agitators

We find different mixing equipment hold different features. So usually we operate mud gun and agitators together for better agitation performance

Usually we suggest one set agitator along with one mud gun. Almost 3 meter requests one set agitator. Based on actual working condition we'll configure optimal equipment or device for you

Please come to Aipu solids control for more detail on mud agitator and guns.

Mud gun is the agitation or mixing device. Usually we operate them together with mud agitator.

Mud guns general information

Both high-pressure and low-pressure mud guns agitate mud by means of rapid fluid movement through a nozzle. Pressure and flow are delivered via either high-pressure main mud pumps or, most often, centrifugal pumps. There are two points of view as to where pumps for mud gun should draw suction from: (1) the compartment that they stir or (2) a compartment downstream, ideally immediately after the last solids control device.

Different option effect for mud gun

Consider option 1 (drawing suction from the compartment to be stirred): When mud guns are placed in compartments that are designated for solids-removal equipment (e.g., hydrocyclones, centrifuges), the Suspension, Agitation, and Mixing of Drilling Fluids possibility of pumping solids-laden fluid exists.

Mud gun

Continuous circulation of solids-laden fluid (especially sand) will result in faster wear on pump parts and mud gun nozzles. Manufacturers provide nozzle inserts made of wear-resistant plastics to increase life and reduce replacement costs If parts are not replaced when needed, agitation efficiency decreases Another argument against pumping into the same compartment from which suction is drawn is the possibility for particle size degradation which will also reduce solids-removal efficiency and force use of more costly solids-control mechanisms or dilution. Option 1 is feasible if used in compartments downstream of the last solids-control device, provided the upstream solids-control system is properly designed and operated.

Option 2 (drawing suction from a compartment downstream of the solids-control system) is more desirable for two reasons. First, it prevents continuous circulation of fluid that may be laden with drilled solids assuming efficient upstream solids removal. This maintains mud gun efficiency and reduces wear to fluid-end pump parts. Secondly, it places cleaned fluid into the compartment to be stirred. This is especially effective when solids concentration is high or fluctuates (e.g., high penetration rates and/or sweep returns to the surface). However, option 2 necessitates more process capacity from the solids-control equipment (including the degasser and hydrocyclone compartments). Rig circulating rate and flow through mud guns must be added and then accounted for.

Mud gun design

There are many different design of mud guns. The high pressure, low pressure, the mud gun with one nozzle or 3 nozzle. The nozzle size is 2" or 3", meanwhile, we can find the mud gun with handle or hand wheel operator. No matter which design or dimension as well as the surface color please tell us your demand. We'll provide the ideal option for you.
