GN Solids Control designs and manufactures different sizes of liquid sludge plants according to your needs. We can design and build as many vertical tanks, rectangular tanks, round tanks, etc. depending on your space and requirements.
The Liquid Mud Plant is installed for one main purpose and that is to maintain good properties of the drilling mud in the wellbore as much as possible. Within each drilling fluid supply base, you can usually find which “Mud” companies are working offshore from this base, as they are represented in the form of a Liquid Mud Plant. This liquid mud plant is used to handle (mix, dilute, treat, adjust) various drilling fluids to be used in the wells supported by this supply base. You can also find expanded drilling waste management (DWM) or solids control processing for drilling mud here, usually in the form of decanter centrifuges used to treat used mud that has been recharged at the supply base. . Offshore supply vessels are used to transport any drilling or completion fluids to and from the Slurry Plant that cannot be mixed or treated on-site.
Types of tanks for slurry plants
Oil-based mud tank
Water-based mud tank

Equipment used for a liquid sludge plant
Typically, a decanter centrifuge manufactured by GN Solids Control will be used for drilling mud solids control. Sometimes customers will need a vibratory screen for coarse solids removal. Mud agitators are mounted on mud storage or mixing tanks to agitate mud and prevent the settling of solids in fluids. Sometimes GN mud guns will be needed for agitation, especially for the corners of the mud tank. Mud mixing and chemical addition are done by mud mixing hoppers and centrifugal pumps. GN Solids Control manufactures the Decanter Centrifuge, Shale Shaker, Mud Agitator, Mud Gun, Centrifugal Pump, and Mud Mixing Hoppers for Liquid Mud Plant.
