1. The length, width, height and compartment size of the mud tank

2. The purpose of each compartment, such as sedimentation tank, slug mud tank, vacuum deaerator tank, etc.

3. Predetermine the weight of the heaviest mud.

4. Voltage and frequency of equipment power

5. Land or sea equipment? If it is a land-based equipment, will the equipment be transported together with the mud tank?

After obtaining as much information as possible, you can use the graph provided below to get a more appropriate approximation of the size of the agitator. To correctly choose the size of the mud agitator, the first step is to find out the width of the tank on the right side of the graph. Then there is a corresponding impeller diameter recommended value along the horizontal line on the left side of the figure. The size of the impeller is related to the specific gravity of the mud and the required horsepower. It can be simply drawn from the diameter of the impeller to the predetermined curve of the specific gravity of the mud according to the horizontal line. At this time, find the closest thick curve to the right of this point and write down what is needed for the upper part of the thick curve. The power value. If the selected mud specific gravity does not conform to the three curves shown in the figure, select the curve with the similar but higher specific gravity.
