KEMTRON 1500MPX Pro™ Package Mud System
ESS-WDD-550 Quintuplex Pump
The KEMTRON 1500MPX Pro™ is the industry’s first high-capacity mud reclamation system to feature a high-pressure pump that is electrically variable. Instead of using a clutch and belt / chain driven system, Elgin’s new KEMTRON 1500MPX Pro™ deploys a direct coupled VFD-driven Ellis Williams WDD-550 HDD Quintuplex Pump that is powered from a single 500KW Tier 4 Final diesel-fired generator used to power the rest of the drilling fluid reclamation system. Not only does this provide for a road-legal package, but it provides a lower total cost of construction and total cost of ownership.
Overview
More than an original equipment manufacturer, Elgin Separation Solutions offers innovative turn-key solutions for today’s operators in the trenchless industry. As such, Elgin has become the leading provider of effective packaged fluid recycling systems. With the introduction of our electrically-variable high-pressure ESS-WDD-550 Quintuplex pump package, Elgin now provides the market with the best combination of performance and turn-key integration.
Hydraulically Balanced Mud System
With the 8,000 gallon tank capacity, the KEMTRON 1500MPX Pro™ is able to provide a hydraulically balanced mud system at 1,500 gallons per minute (8,000 gallons / 1,500 gpm = 5.3 minutes residence time, the design target for a hydraulically tuned mud system). To achieve 1,500 gpm, the hydrocyclone packages are designed with (3) 10” hydrocyclone desanders and eighteen (18) 5” valve-isolated hydrocyclone desilters.
