Geo Cooler - Model FX -Freshwater Mud Cooler
The FX seawater geo cooler has been successfully deployed on the hottest ultra-hpht wells of the world. With more than 10 years of proven experience with thousands of operational hours without a single npt incident – this seawater mud cooler continues to differentiate itself from other mud coolers.
Designed for economical, trouble free operation, efficient temperature control of drilling fluids, and superior solids handing – the FX Seawater Geo-Cooler™ is ideally suited for your offshore needs.
This extraordinary mud cooler incorporates a proprietary, fully welded and sealed, closed circuit heat exchanger that is designed to minimize the plugging and fouling that plagues a conventional plate and frame (PHE) mud cooler. This is accomplished while nearly eliminating the risk of drilling fluid & seawater contamination and maximizing thermal performance.

- SEAWATER FLOW: 1400 gpm (5300 lpm)
- ELECTRICAL: 460 VAC/60Hz, 100 AMPS
- L x W x H: 12′ x 7′8″, 3.7m x 2.3m
- WEIGHT: 30,000LBS (13,607kg)
The FX Geo-Cooler™ utilizes a proprietary large surface area heat exchanger that is robust enough to handle raw seawater. The proprietary design is also superior in handling high viscosity drilling fluids, with solids up to ¾” (19mm). The FX Geo-Cooler™ boasts a small footprint and is packaged in a robust galvanized steel frame. The FX Geo-Cooler™ can be used in short & long-term wells and does not require an onsite operator. The FX Geo-Cooler™ is DNV 2.7-1 certified and can be shipped anywhere in the world.
