LLC NPP “Bentonity Urala”

To increase mud density, a marble-based carbonate weighting agent is widely used now. The traditional technology allows producing weighting agents with a big percentage of oversize and undersize fractions. The proposed technology solutions and the automatic production control system make it possible to get stable quality products and excellent testing results from dedicated laboratories of leading international firms.

Key words: carbonate weighting agent; analysis by boiling point; centrifugal mills; automatic control system; sieve test.
