HDD has been widely used in the world nowdays To improve the drilling efficiency and cut drilling cost.  one important thing the HDD operators have to consider is choosing a proper mud recycling system for their HDD project.

A good mud recycling system can prepare appropriate mud for the recycling of mud to impoving the drilling efficiency . The mud reduces drilling torgue,and gives stability and support to the bored hole. The fluid must have sufficient gel strength to keep cuttings suspended for transport, to form a filter cake on the borehole wall that contains the water within the drilling fluid,and to provide lubrication between the pipe and the borehole on pullback. because of mud is a important factor in HDD. choosing a proper mud recycling system is very important.  GN have rich experience on mud recycling system for HDD.

The factors that you should consider before choosing a mud recycling system are :
1)  Type of drill you will be using
2)  The drill rate
3)  The type of solids
4)  The length of your bore
5)  The GPM of the pump
6)  The tank volume you will need
7)  The number of cones
8)  The screen size

These factors are important to know so that you can choose a proper mud recycling system which adequate enough to clean the mud and protect the components on the rig,pump,and cleaner. the first thing you need to do is decide the size of the mud recycling system you need.
when deciding the size of a mud recycling  system. it is best to base it on 1 ½ to two times the amount you are pumping. after decided the capacity of the system. next thing you need to consider is if your need trailer mounted system or skid mounted system. it depends on if you have needs of fast moving.  the other things you need consider are  including screen surface,screen selection,shakers.cones.trash pump, parts & service. etc. The more screen surface area you have means more volume that you can clean.There are three types of shakers (orbital, elliptical and linear). Orbital is a circular motion and elliptical isn’t perfectly circular — it’s an ellipse or oval. Linear has vibration that is induced by a pair of eccentric (or eccentrically weighted) shafts turning in opposite directions.  our overall preference is the linear.
