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 be
deposited 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 can
place the hopper and pump flexibly according to site requirements and system space,
6/17
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
Fig 5-1GNSL(M)Series double jet mud mixer installed on tank top

2. Hopper, pump and manifold all mounted on tank skid
11/17
Fig 3-2GNSL(M) Series single jet mud mixer installed 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 should
be installed according to below steps.
12/17
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.
5. Installation dimensions of GNSL(M) Series Jet Mud Mixer
Fig 6GNSL(M)Series jet mud mixer Installation dimensions
6Use
6.1 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.
13/17
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 before
stopping 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.
14/17
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.
