Centrifugal Pump (Mud Pump / Sand Pump) is a critical component in oilfield solids control systems, designed to transfer drilling fluids efficiently between different treatment units. It is widely used as the driving pump for desander, desilter, mud cleaner systems, as well as for jet mud mixing and drilling fluid circulation support.
At KTK Energy Limited, our centrifugal pumps are engineered in compliance with API standards and designed for demanding oilfield environments including onshore drilling, offshore rigs, HDD systems, and mud recycling units.
In a complete drilling fluid system, centrifugal pumps ensure stable fluid circulation, reliable hydrocyclone feeding, and continuous mud system operation. They are also widely used as charge pumps, trip pumps, and supercharging pumps, supporting high-pressure rig mud pump performance.
