Drilling platform mud collection basin (EGP)
In drilling sites a residue basin is used during the mud recycling. Basins are chemically and mechanically stressed due to frequent cleaning. At TRL7, the pilot is demonstrated in the operational environment of the geothermal drilling site.
The basin is cast in UHDC with crystalline self-healing admixtures and instrumented to monitor the evolution of the material under the aggressive chemical exposure. The performance is benchmarked against the ordinary concrete basin previously in service.
