1. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS / PRECAUTIONS

1.1 User must read this manual carefully before equipment operating!

1.2 Lift equipment by specified lifting position! Ensure that the equipment installed

fastening and reliable; fastening all assembly bolt group once a month.

1.3 Boot method: Close the butterfly valve between hopper and tee joint before start;

open centrifugal pump; After the pump become stable, open the butterfly valve. Go to

next step after confirming that no drilling mud returning phenomena.

1.4 After shutdown, clean slag discharge port of the tee joint.

1.5 Check pressure gauge regularly, check the nozzle wear and replace it timely.

1.6 If you find any mechanical or electrical defects or problems, operation is

prohibited.

2. APPLICATION OF JET MUD MIXER

The unit is used to make up drilling fluid, to change the density, viscosity, dehydration,

acid-base property etc. It is suitable for drilling mud aggravation and preparation from

1,500 meters to 6,000 meters.

When making up, put the materials of drilling fluid (such as betonies and barite

powder) and corresponding chemical additives (such as polymer) into the mixing

hopper and then go into the recycling tank through the jet unit. If put them into the

mud tank directly, the materials of drilling fluid and chemical additives will bedeposited largely or dump together and we cant obtain diffused and

well-proportioned drilling fluid. The mud mixing unit can increase the shear strength

of the liquid in the tube, better improve material dispersion, and increase the liquid

mixing pressure, to get the material the full cycle and mixing.

3. DESIGN FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES OF JET MUD

MIXER

GN Jet Mud Mixer can help the operator maximum efficiency mixing. In the rig site,

require the addition of bentonite, polymers, and other powders to achieve the

performance of the drilling mud generally, such as hole cleaning drilling mud

viscosity, water loss control and the filter cake creation. In applications of large

proportion drilling mud, the application of barite potential collision is more important.

GN Jet Mixing equipment includes mechanical seal centrifugal pump, venturi tube

funnel. The performance is better if used in conjunction with the shear pump. GN canplace the hopper and pump flexibly according to site requirements and system space,

either a single skid-mounted or tank-side mounted, or even separate hopper on tank

top and pump mounted on tank side in order to improve the operability of customers

and improve the efficiency of mixing or make the whole system more compact.

SECTION 2-STRUCTURE AND WORKING PRINCIPLE

Conventional GNSL (M) Series Mixing device is a single jet mud mixing equipment

composed of a horizontal centrifugal pump (sometimes with shear pump, to improve

cutting efficiency) and a three-way mixing hopper connected by manifold, valve

mounted on a base. Double mixing device with 2 sets centrifugal pump and 2 sets

hopper is also available according to the actual needs of users.

3. WORKING PRINCIPLE OF MIXING HOPPER

Mixing hopper works by using the Venturi throry. The principle of the venturi effect is

the barrier when the wind blows, the barrier on the leeward side port near the surface

pressure is relatively low, resulting in adsorption and cause the air flow. Venturi

principle is very simple, just to make the air from coarse to fine, in order to accelerate

the gas flow rate, the gas outlet at the rear side of the venturi tube to form a "vacuum"

area. When the vacuum zone close to the workpiece, there will be certain adsorption.

SECTION 3- INSTALLATION AND USE

In the drilling mud system, aggravating hopper and centrifugal pump could be

connected by a single base, or they can be divided mounted, and then connected each

other via manifold and valve.

In order to make the whole system more compact, mixing hopper and pump would be

installed on the mud tank skid usually. There are two cases.

1. Hopper on tank top, pump and manifold on tank skid

2. Hopper, pump and manifold all mounted on tank skid

3. Advantages and disadvantages of two kinds of installation

The advantages of first kind: drilling fluid is not easy to return;The drawback of first kind:

a. Overall height of the tank increases, easy to out of height limit when transported;

b. the material is not easy to be carried, The workers need specialized equipment for

materials transported from ground to tank top.

The advantages of second kind:

a. it will not add the height of the mud tank, so it could be transported in a complete

unit, no need to dismount

b. It is convenient for workers operation.

The drawback of second kind: the drilling fluid is easy to return.

Both installations have their own advantages and disadvantages. Customer can choose

optimum solution as per own site status.

4. Installation

If Jet Mixing device is located on a separate skid, separated from mud tank, it shouldbe installed according to below steps.


13/17

4.1 According to the jobsite, flat the ground foundation on the end of the mud tank,

the foundation should be on the same level of the mud tank foundation.

4.2 After the equipment placed, connect the pump inlet and tank by hose.

4.3 Switch on the power; observe if the pump rotation is correct in direction.

Use6.1 Before use, open sand pump inlet butterfly valve and outlet butterfly valve ;

Start the pump. After sand pump is working properly, turn on the feeding valve ,

then you can add fluid material into the hopper (bentonite, barite powder etc. ) and the

corresponding chemical additives (polymer etc.), to doing mud aggravation and

preparation.

Fig 7GNSL(M) Series jet mud mixer use schematic

6.1 To prevent the sudden decrease of pressure when stop the pump, which may cause

drilling mud overflow from hopper, stop feeding valve on the hopper beforestopping the pump.

6.2 If the hopper does not work for a long time in winter, turn off the sand pump

suction inlet valve, then unscrew the sand pump bottom casing and the inlet tube

plugs to let go of the drilling mud to prevent cracking the pump and piping.

7. Centrifugal use and maintenance

Omitted here. See the centrifugal pump manual.

SECTION 4- EQUIPMENT STORAGE AND

TRANSPORTATION

If the equipment is not installed immediately after arrived to site ,it needs to be

covered by tarpaulin or tarp. If it has to be storaged outdoors, it requires UV tarps to

prevent the motor exposure.

Note: Be sure to leave a good ventilation opening when covered.

Equipment can carried by shovel. For lifting, it is only could be hoisted by lifting

signs to avoid damage to the device.
