The Function of Sand Pump in solids control System

As mentioned previously that drilling fluidsflow directly tocker through the flowline after it goes to the surface of the well, and the drilling mud with smaller particles would go down through the shaker screen toward the mud tank. But do you know how the drilling fluids flow to the next stages of solids control equipment? Here we have to mention the function of sand pump which is used to be the power of the drilling mud flowing and access to the end of the circulation system.

OGEM Sand Pump for Solids Control
When the drilling mud flows into the mud tank, the big solids & slime mud would precipitate at the bottom of the first compartment which is without mud agitator. The bottom of the first mud tank would be ellipse or tapered shape to obtain better precipitate function. and clean mud would flow over into the second compartment which normally equipe a mud agitator at the top, preventing drilling mud from precipitating, and then a sand pump which may be equiped at side bottom of the tank, would pump the drilling mud up to vacuum degasser as the second stage of solids control system.

Sand pumps are also used to suck up the drilling mud up the desander, desilter or mud cleaner. So the precipitation tank for the previous equipment becomes the sucking tank for the posterior one. But to better protect sand pump, it is necessary to use only one sand pump for one single purpose, and no more additional pipeline and valves should be connected to the pump. While for the last stage of solids control system, a vertical slurry pump would be used to suck up the drilling mud up to the centrifuge
