Mud Mixing tank can be a separate mud tank or combination with mud recycling tank. And HDD drilling, full name is horizontal directional drilling. HDD drilling also require mud mixing tank with mixing pump and hopper. The size and specification depended on different drill rig and drilling condition.
AIPU mud mixing tank can be different design on mud tank size, pipe line arrangement, mud agitator size options, tank top material with checker plate or gratings, mixing pump size, mud hopper size and so on.

5.One set of mud agitator every 3 or 4 meters on tank length direction. The mud agitator size depending on tank size and mud density & viscosity requirement.
6.2 or more sets of mud gun for mud tank compartment jetting. Mud gun designed 3 nozzle fixed for rotation type.
