The mud hopper design allows for the addition of all types of powder mud chemicals into the mixing line. Powder from the sack cutting unit, surge tank or big bag is fed directly into the mixing hopper, thus preventing dust emission to the environment.
Features and benefits:
- Dust free mixing of chemicals for a better working environment
- High performance polyurethane nozzle for efficient mixing and serviceability
- Meets all relevant HSE requirements minimises risks related to hazardous chemicals
The hopper design along with the venturi mixer ensures that clogging and build up of chemicals is avoided. Upstream of the mixing eductor a stream is diverted to a radial premixer above the mixer inlet. Powder chemicals are pre-wetted in the radial pre-mixer before entering the venture stream in the eductor, thus eliminating “fish-eyes” and microgels.
The mud hopper is designed for an offshore environment, and is engineered to reduce maintenance and service to a minimum.
Great care has been taken to ensure that all relevant offshore health, safety and environment requirements are met.
