Bentonite Storage Silos with Optional Weighing Sensors

In the demanding environments of Oil & Gas and HDD operations, the storage and management of bentonite require more than just a container; they require a high-performance solution that ensures both safety and operational accuracy. AIPU ASME certified bentonite storage silos represent the pinnacle of over 15 years of design and manufacturing excellence in solids control and fluid management.

Weighing Sensor Integration

The silos can be equipped with high-accuracy, hermetically sealed compression load cells placed under support legs or on structural brackets. Benefits include:

• a. Real-Time Inventory: Continuous weight monitoring eliminates manual dip-stick measurements.
• b. Batch Control: Direct mass reading for precise batching into mixing systems (e.g., drilling mud or foundry sand).
• c. No Mechanical Wear: Unlike paddle-level switches, load cells have no moving parts inside the silo.

Engineering excellence meets ASME standards

Every silo we produce is engineered to meet rigorous ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) standards. This certification is not just a label—it is a guarantee of structural integrity and pressure vessel safety, ensuring that your equipment can withstand the harshest field conditions and frequent transport between job sites.

Typical configuration of AIPU silos

• 1. Capacities: 10–180m³(customizable)
• 2. Material: Carbon steel with epoxy/polyurethane lining for corrosion resistance
• 3. Weighing system: 2 weighing sensors per silo + local digital indicator
