Bruce Suggs, vice president of marketing and sales for White Star, speaks with DC editorial coordinator Katherine Scott about White Star’s quadraplex mud pump at its headquarters in Waller, Texas, on 17 February.
Drilling Contractor visited the manufacturing facility of White Star Pump Company in Waller, Texas, on 17 February to view a demonstration of the company’s quadraplex mud pump, which was designed to address the challenges of the conventional triplex pump.
“After working on all the different brands of (triplex) pumps, it became evident that they all had the same common issues,” said Bruce Suggs, vice president of marketing and sales for White Star. “(We) tried to build a triplex and ended up with the Quatro.”
Instead of taking an existing triplex pump and trying to make it better, White Star approached the project with a clean-sheet design. The Quatro pump features a width of only 82 in. and easily fits on a standard-width trailer, a potential advantage in areas with limited space, such as on offshore rigs and in shale plays like the Marcellus. With the fluid modules sitting inside the frame, change-out time can be reduced to 23 minutes versus up to 10 hours for conventional triplex pumps. The quadraplex pump also uses a fully assembled crankshaft that requires no castings or welding. Using a crankshaft that is fully assembled and supported by modern bearing placement dramatically reduces crankshaft bending and cracking.
Additionally, the Quatro is equipped with two pulsation dampeners, one for each pair of pistons, unlike the triplex, which carries only one. This allows mud to be dampened before it gets to the strain across, creating a quieter, smoother fluid flow and reducing vibrations.
A mud pump is a reciprocating piston/plunger pump designed to circulate drilling fluid under high pressure (up to 7,500 psi (52,000 kPa)) down the drill string and back up the annulus. A duplex mud pump is an important part of the equipment used for oil well drilling.
Duplex mud pumps (two piston/plungers) have generally been replaced by the triplex pump, but are still common in developing countries. Two later developments are the hex pump with six vertical pistons/plungers, and various quintuplex’s with five horizontal piston/plungers. The advantages that Duplex mud pumps have over convention triplex pumps is a lower mud noise which assists with better Measurement while drilling and Logging while drilling decoding.
Use duplex mud pumps to make sure that the circulation of the mud being drilled or the supply of liquid reaches the bottom of the well from the mud cleaning system. Despite being older technology than the triplex mud pump, the duplex mud pumps can use either electricity or diesel, and maintenance is easy due to their binocular floating seals and safety valves.
A mud pump is composed of many parts including mud pump liner, mud pump piston, modules, hydraulic seat pullers, and other parts. Parts of a mud pump:housing itself
Duplex pumps are used to provide a secondary means of fuel transfer in the event of a failure of the primary pump. Each pump in a duplex set is sized to meet the full flow requirements of the system. Pump controllers can be set for any of the following common operating modes:Lead / Lag (Primary / Secondary): The lead (primary) pump is selected by the user and the lag (secondary pump operates when a failure of the primary pump is detected.
Alternating: Operates per Lead / Lag (Primary / Secondary) except that the operating pump and lead / lag status alternate on consecutive starts. A variation is to alternate the pumps based on the operating time (hour meter) of the lead pump.

The average annual mileage for an ATV is 1,000 to 2,000. While there are varying opinions and factors on this matter, most off-roaders consider anything above 5,000 miles to be high mileage. An ATV with 1,000 miles or under is considered to have low mileage. This number suggests the quad has been used for a year or so and did not require much maintenance. The amount of miles a quad has been ridden doesn’t paint the whole picture though.
If a 4-wheeler has been used in competitions or on deep, muddy terrain, then even a number as low as 2,000 miles can be considered high mileage as mud can quickly lead to severe engine and other problems if not handled properly. If a quad has been submerged on occasion, it might only manage 50 miles before serious repairs are needed. Especially if you"re buying a used quad, it’s important to know the riding style of a previous owner.
On the other hand, if an ATV has been used for casual riding and had preventive maintenance, it’s likely in good shape even over 5,000 miles. It’s still always important to consider how the quad has been used. Where has it been stored? And even if it was lightly used, has it been well maintained and cared for. The real secret to determining the health and value of an ATV beyond mileage is doing your research and requesting a test ride.
Depending on the brand and how it’s treated, the average lifespan of a quad is 10,000 to 12,000 miles. If a quad is well maintained, it could last for over 20 years. Most vehicles start posing problems once they have covered 10,000 miles, but with a little attention and care, the life of an ATV can be a long one. As for the tires, depending on the surface where an ATV is ridden, a good set of tires can give you about 8,000 miles before they need a replacement.
The lifespan of an ATV isn’t merely the number of miles and hours it’s covered, more important is how it’s been ridden and cared for. Most ATV owners have no idea how detrimental mud and dirt can be. When stuck on the exposed parts of an ATV, mud absorbs moisture and provides a favorable condition for rusting which weakens the ATV. Mud on the body can damage the paint, mobile parts like joints and bearings and can also damage the brakes.
After a dirty, muddy ride, thoroughly clean your ATV then oil or grease everything before you put it back together to avoid corrosion. Storing your ATV indoors or under a tarp is another way to help it last longer. Regular oil and oil filter changes are also another important thing to do to make your quad last as long as possible.
