The principle of operation of the system is as follows: The material (cement and barite) is transported to the platform by a sea vessel by pumping from the vessel to the platform using filling hoses. Through the sleeves, the material enters the bulk materials receiving point, undergoes mechanical cleaning, which is carried out with the help of stone traps. Further, the material is transported through pipelines to the storage bins, the storage bins are a steel tank with a volume of 50 m3 each, designed to store cement and barite (material). Further from the storage bins, thanks to the air flow, the pipeline and a set of cranes and valves, the material enters the unloader bins , for cement and barite, separate bunkers unloaders, after which the material enters the mixing funnel and the drilling fluid is prepared. The air, due to which the entire system circulates, after the unloader hoppers, is transported for cleaning to the cyclone separator blocks, the block consists of a steel tank and a cyclone dust collector.

​

The operation of the entire system is controlled by the control system, which is responsible for the following functions:

• Refueling storage bins

• Transfer of material from storage bins to service bins, control of valves and valves

• Control of the level, weight of the material in each container.
