Countermeasures for the Blockage of the mud circulation system of water well drilling RIGS in soft soil layers

In soft soil drilling, large amounts of clay particles often clog the mud circulation system, affecting construction. Clay can block mud pump inlets, pipes, and cyclones, causing poor mud flow.water well drilling rig

 

To prevent system blockages, here are key solutions:

 

    • Set up multi-stage sedimentation tanks in mud pools to settle large particles first.
    • Use vibrating screens and cyclones to separate fine particles further.
  1. Conduct Regular Cleaning:
    • Clean mud pools and circulation pipes regularly.
    • Check mud pump inlets for debris to prevent blockages.
  2. Tackle Blockages Promptly:
    • Flush pipes with high-pressure water to clear minor blockages.
    • Disassemble components for cleaning if blockages are severe.
    • Optimize system design by adding spare pipes and equipment to enhance reliability.water well drilling rig
