Companies in the ground water industry need a way to cost effectively process their mud solids, and MudPuppy International provides an all in one solution for mud cleaning, separation and recycling, bundled in an environmentally friendly package.

Since 1990 the Californian based company has been building Solids Control systems for use in the trenchless drilling sector. The development of MudPuppy was initially inspired by the company founder’s experience in the oil and gas industry where large systems are used to keep mud sites clean. This, coupled with growing concern over environmentally friendly best practices, sparked the first MudPuppy mud cleaning system. The intention was to build a reliable, easy to deploy, and safe product that would use widely available consumables such as Baroid’s industry benchmark products, EZ-MUD® GOLD and QUIK-TROL® GOLD. The company now offers an extensive range of MudPuppy units for every type and size of job.

MudPuppy offers many advantages for the trenchless drilling business. All units yield high rates of recovery that will reclaim extremely clean mud and water, making the machine one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly products in its class. The smallest MudPuppy unit has a minimal footprint of 1.2 metres X 2.4 metres and comes with a 1,700 litre mud reservoir, a 60 cm X 90 cm double screen, a bottom 10 mesh shaker, a jet ventry mix hopper, a 2 inch x 3 inch x 8 ½ inch centrifugal mud pump in its desander system, and a 10 inch centrifugal mud pump in its Sand Guzzler.

MudPuppies are user friendly and highly configurable for a variety of situations and equipment set-ups. With speedy installation and minimal calibration, MudPuppies also offer faster set-up than other mud pump systems. The MudPuppy units are designed as all hydraulic systems, making the product line one of the safest available.

With MudPuppy, drilling contractors save money as clean mud reduces wear and tear on the pump, drill strings and swivels. The lower volumes of mud used also minimise impact on the site’s ground and in the water, while the rate of penetration increases with stable clean mud.
