Drilling Mud Transfer Vertical Design Submersible Slurry Pump

Submersible Slurry Pump Is Well Used For Drilling Mud Transfer From Mud Pit To Mud Equipment Or Mud Storage Tank

Submersible slurry pump application

The submersible slurry pump is well used for drilling mud transfer from mud pit to mud equipment or mud storage tank. Vertical design allows mud suction point installed into drilling mud and all bearings is above fluids to make pump free maintenance. A protection cover fixed on mud suction point to stop solids or larger particles being sucked into pump. 
 

How to select the submersible slurry pump?

 
For pump feeding centrifuge, we need to consider the centrifuge flow rate. For pump feeding shaker in the HDD mud system we should consider the whole mud system flow rate. And then the submersible length is another issue affect configuration or design. We can supply pump meet submersible depth up to 3m. How to achieve this? By extension pipe connected to input port.
 

Submersible slurry pump installation

If pump installs onto mud tank, there is a level plate on pump under motor, the plate is designed to bolted on tank top. The pump can be installed into mud pit as well with a builted simple platform to bolt pump level plate. The vertical design is maximized to reduce it’s footprint especially when it’s installed on tank top.

Submersible slurry pump features

Self suction design is maximum increased pump efficiency. The submersible pump is a high effective pump compares centrifugal pump, screw pump, diaphragm pump or multiple centrifugal pump. All bearings above fluids makes pump free maintenance nearly zero cost for spares. Depth from level plate to pump suction point is customized from 1.0 to 1.8 meters. Standard depth 1.3 meters without special request.

More details of submersible slurry pump 

 
The submersible slurry pump is another kind of centrifugal pump. But it's more durable and strong than common pump. It can transfer many different kind of hard materials, including sand, cement, particles, shale and so on. So, it meets many requirements in different industries. The main structure including impeller, pump case, shaft, bearing, motor, supporting frame and so on.
 
Handling capacity is from 30m³/h to 120m³/h. The pump performance including flow rate, head, pressure. They will affect each other on the performance. 
 
Drilling fluids is transferred to desilter cones by centrifugal pump from the desander tank or compartment. Desilter cone is fed by desilter pump with fluids out of desander. Under pump pressure the fluids run into cones and flow with centrifugal force. Then the heavy particlas will deposit down and pushed out of cone drop in Apex. Particles larger than 15 microns will be separated out of drilling mud.
 
For HDD and other mud system in civil construction, the slurry pump can be set over mud pit on a frame or support bar. Pump inlet port is submerged in pit or tank to transfer drilling mud into shaker. While in oil drilling mud system, the slurry pump will be set on desilter tank or compartment. If we have 2 sets of centrifuge, then 2 sets of slurry pump requested. For some users, they prefer the screw pump, since screw pump is progressive pump. But the submersible slurry pump is more durable and high-resistance to sand or cuttings in the drilling fluids. Moreover, the bearing and connection part between motor and pump body is above liquid level, so there is no need to maintain the pump. Higher efficiency and lower cost.
