Development and Deployment of A Smart Electric Mud Pump
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This research is aimed at the development and implementation of a state-of-the-art mechanism which will enable real-time observation of gases around the drilling rig plus the management of a mud pump to boost the inception of well management measures, the measures plied in drilling activities to preserve the hydrostatic pressure in the well so as remedy the issue of susceptibility of personnel to harmful gases around the drilling rig as well as forestalling blow out thus preserving lives and equipment exploiting a provided IoT platform. The segmental technique was employed to achieve the aim of the research. These materials: microprocessor ESP32, pump, sensors, MQ-2, MQ-8, IoT SDK kit and a laptop were interlinked for the study. The microprocessor was programmed with C++ to interlink the separate sections and inked with the IoT to build the platform for management. The built set-up was implemented and test run. From the test run, it was found that the entire system, including the Losant suite, functioned according to the design aim.
