Working in the oil and gas industry requires constant awareness of job site hazards. When employees work near machinery like an oil rig mud tank, they are exposed to dangerous chemicals and loud noise that can compromise their safety and a refinery’s productivity. At Edge Inc., we offer top-quality gas enclosure solutions to protect your team and equipment.
Common Dangers of an Oil Rig Mud Tank
Employees working around mud pits are exposed to high levels of mist, vapor, and humidity from warm drilling fluid. The fluids become contaminated with toxic aromatics and hydrogen sulfide. Workers are exposed to these contaminants by inhaling mist or through skin contact, and the risk of high exposure increases when:
- Washing with high-pressure guns
- Cleaning mud pits
- Working on top of mud pits
- Transferring mud pit fluids
Characteristics of a High-Quality Drilling Enclosure
Choosing the right gas enclosure is a crucial decision. Here are some key characteristics to look for:
- Versatility: Drilling rigs are often in remote locations with poor weather and rough terrain. Your enclosure should be versatile enough to be built on any surface and withstand extreme conditions.
- Safety: A high-quality enclosure should have a solid ventilation system to minimize exposure to harmful pollutants. It should also help soften loud noises to prevent hearing loss from mud pumps.
- Durability: The structure should protect your oil rig mud tank and other valuable tools from the elements and be durable enough to last for the entire project.
