Salunda has developed a battery-powered MudChecker that offers accurate measurement of the oil, water, solid and salt content of drilling fluids. Analysis of fluid composition is a pivotal task for drilling contractors during exploration and the tool provides an accurate, real-time, in-field measurement of mud fluid content. The device was designed by Dr. David Salunda, who holds two patents in this area. It is also safer as the muds do not need to be heated for analysis as in a retort and titration test.

Analysis of fluid composition is a pivotal task for drilling contractors during exploration and the tool provides an accurate, real-time, in-field measurement of mud fluid content. The technology avoids the need to wait several hours to complete a mud check and reduces downtime. It is also safer as the muds do not need to be heated for analysis as in a retort and titration test.
