Mud Pump Manifold

Mud Pump Manifold

The Mud Pump Manifolds, including discharge and suction manifolds, is essential for efficient mud pump operations in oil and gas drilling. Made from high-quality 35CrMo steel, it ensures reliable performance and durability.

Mud Pump Manifold System

The Mud Pump Manifold System is designed to optimize the performance and efficiency of mud pumps used in oil and gas drilling. It comprises two main components: the discharge manifold and the suction manifold, each crafted from high-quality 35CrMo steel to ensure durability and reliability in harsh drilling environments.

Discharge Manifold

Discharge Manifold: This is a crucial part of the mud pump’s discharge end. One end is equipped with an exhaust filter assembly to direct the pressure generated by the mud pump into the well. The other end features an airbag assembly, safety valve, and pressure gauge connected through a drain elbow. The discharge manifold effectively manages the high-pressure flow from the pump, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

Suction Manifold

Suction Manifold: This is vital to the mud pump’s suction end. Made from seamless flanged 35CrMo steel, the suction manifold is designed for high performance and reliability. It features an airbag at one end and two inlet flanges, allowing users to choose the appropriate inlet for injecting mud or clean water based on the pump setup.

Our manifold systems are compatible with various mud pump series, including the F series, 3NB series, 12P-160, and 14P-220.

Key Features

Three-Dimensional Structure: Optimized for limited space on ship decks or tight drilling sites. Rational Matching: Combines choke manifolds with double-sleeve wellhead manifolds, providing dual-level operation platforms for ease of use. Comprehensive Functionality: Includes all functions of horizontal manifolds, with fully enclosed supports to prevent seawater corrosion and ensure high structural strength. Easy Assembly: Designed as a modular system for convenient transportation and installation, consisting of four main sections.

Applications and Role

Manifolds are integral to managing the flow and pressure in mud pumps, ensuring safe and efficient drilling operations. They combine multiple pipelines into a system, including gate valves, pipes, fittings, pressure gauges, and other electronic sensing and hydraulic control systems. Common manifolds include choke, pressure test, ring, and kill manifolds. Each type serves specific functions based on its structural design and operational requirements.

Our manifold systems are essential for safe, efficient, and reliable mud pump operations, offering easy assembly and comprehensive functionality to meet the demanding needs of oil and gas drilling environments. We can also source similar or related equipment and parts from China to meet your requirements.
