GN Solids Control is a specialized industrial equipment manufacturer focused on designing and building solids-liquid separation systems and drilling waste management solutions。The company operates globally with headquarters in China and a significant subsidiary in the United States。

A High G (High-Gravity) Drying Shaker is a specialized equipment for drilling waste management. Its primary function is to “dry” drill cuttings by applying intense vibration (up to 8 times the force of gravity) to recover more drilling fluid and significantly reduce waste volume.

How a High G Drying Shaker Works
It is typically fed by a screw conveyor carrying wet cuttings from primary separation equipment-1. The high-G vibration forces trapped liquid through fine screens. The recovered fluid is sent to a centrifuge for further purification before returning to the active mud system, while the dried, stackable solids are discharged for disposal.

Key Benefits and Offshore Applications
The main benefits include recovering valuable drilling fluids (reducing new fluid costs) and transforming cuttings into a drier, more manageable waste that is cheaper and more environmentally compliant to handle.

For demanding offshore platforms, GN packages these shakers into integrated “High G Shale Shaker Modules.”. These modules combine the shaker with mud tanks, pumps, agitators, and an intelligent control system into a single, compact solution designed for space, weight constraints, and harsh marine environments.

In the oil and gas industry, an agitator (or mud agitator) is a mechanical device installed in drilling fluid (mud) tanks to keep solids in suspension and ensure the fluid mixture is uniform. It prevents settling and maintains consistent fluid properties, which is crucial for efficient operation.

How It Works & Key Functions
An agitator uses an electric or hydraulic motor mounted on the tank to drive a propeller shaft at a controlled speed. The angled propeller blades create a strong flow pattern that circulates the entire tank volume.

Its core functions are to:

Prevent Solids Settling: Continuous agitation stops heavy solids (like barite) from sinking to the tank bottom, which could cause blockages.

Ensure Homogeneity: It blends newly added chemicals, fluids, or weight material evenly throughout the tank for consistent fluid density and properties.

Aid in Conditioning: It helps shear and break down polymers and other additives for full effectiveness.

Key Technical Specifications
For selection and operation, important specifications include:

Motor Power: Typically ranges from 3 HP to 20 HP per agitator, depending on tank size and fluid viscosity.

Shaft Length & Propeller: Sized for the specific tank depth and diameter; often a two-blade marine-type propeller.

Propeller Placement & Speed: Proper placement is key to avoid dead zones. Speed is adjustable for different fluids.

Sealing System: A robust mechanical seal is vital to prevent fluid leakage along the shaft.

GN Solids Control Agitators
As a major manufacturer, GN Solids Control offers a range of agitators. Their models feature:

Modular Design: Allows for different motor power (e.g., 7.5 kW/10 HP) and shaft lengths.

Heavy-Duty Components: Use Italian OLI brand vibration motors and high-grade steel shafts.

Efficient Propeller: Designed for optimal flow with minimal dead corners.

Robust Seal: A high-quality mechanical seal to ensure long-term, leak-free operation.

In summary, the agitator is a fundamental, workhorse component of any drilling fluid system, ensuring reliability and consistency. Its proper operation directly impacts drilling efficiency, safety, and cost.

Company Overview
GN Solids Control Co., Ltd. is a Chinese manufacturer and global supplier specializing in solids control and separation equipment. They are a key player in providing complete system solutions for industries like oil and gas drilling, HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling), mining, and environmental protection.

Core Products and Services
Their expertise lies in equipment that separates solids from liquids. Key product lines include:

Decanter Centrifuges: Their flagship product, available in various sizes and models (including 2-phase and 3-phase) for different applications.

Drilling Mud Systems: A full suite of equipment for processing drilling fluid, including:

Shale Shakers

Mud Cleaners

Desanders & Desilters

Degassers

Centrifugal Pumps

Think of the centrifugal pump as the heart of the drilling fluid system. Its main job is to move large volumes of fluid continuously and reliably. In a typical drilling rig setup, its key applications are:

Feeding the Mud Pumps: The large, high-pressure triplex or duplex mud pumps are what push the fluid down the drill string. However, they are not good at pulling fluid. Centrifugal pumps (often called “charge pumps” in this role) are used to supply a steady, positive flow of fluid to the suction of the mud pumps, preventing cavitation and ensuring efficient operation.

Transferring Fluid Between Tanks: Moving drilling mud from one compartment of the mud tank to another, for example, from a settling tank to an active tank.

Powering Hydrocyclones: They provide the necessary pressure and flow to feed desanders and desilters (hydrocyclones), which remove fine drilled solids from the mud.

Supercharging: This is its most critical role. As mentioned above, it ensures the main mud pump has a constant, air-free supply of fluid at a positive pressure, which is essential for the mud pump’s performance and longevity.

Complete Solids Control Systems: They engineer and package the above equipment into integrated skidded or trailer-mounted systems for oil rigs, HDD projects, and TBMs (Tunnel Boring Machines).

Waste Management and Sludge Dewatering Systems: Equipment for environmental applications, such as treating industrial sludge and wastewater.

Global Presence
GN has a significant international footprint to serve its global clientele. They have established branch offices and subsidiaries in key regions, including:

GN Solids Control Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer and supplier of separation equipment and solids control systems for various industries. We have an international presence, including a subsidiary in the United States.

A shale shaker is the first and most critical piece of equipment in the solids control system on a drilling rig. Its primary job is to remove large, drilled solids (cuttings) from the drilling fluid (mud) before the fluid continues through the cleaning system and is recirculated downhole.

Primary Function
Think of it as a high-tech, industrial-sized sieve. It uses vibrating screens to separate solids from liquids. Efficient removal of these cuttings at this first stage is vital because:

Protects Downstream Equipment: It prevents larger particles from overloading and damaging more sensitive equipment like desanders, desilters, and centrifuges.

Maintains Drilling Fluid Properties: Drilling mud is expensive and chemically engineered. Removing solids helps maintain its desired properties (density, viscosity), which is crucial for controlling well pressure, cooling the drill bit, and stabilizing the wellbore.

Reduces Costs: Cleaner mud can be reused, significantly reducing the volume of new mud that needs to be purchased and the volume of waste that must be handled and disposed of.

Improves Drilling Efficiency: Clean mud drills faster and reduces the risk of equipment failures and drilling problems like stuck pipe.

How It Works
The process can be broken down into a few key steps:

Inflow: The “dirty” drilling fluid, laden with rock cuttings from the drill bit, flows from the wellbore onto the shaker’s screens.

Vibration: The screen deck is set into a high-speed vibrating motion, typically driven by unbalanced motors. This vibration fluidizes the mud, allowing it to pass through the screen mesh.

Separation:

Liquid & Fine Particles: The liquid drilling mud and particles smaller than the screen mesh openings pass through and are collected in a tank below, ready for the next stage of cleaning.

Solids & Cuttings: The larger drilled solids (cuttings) are conveyed along the vibrating screen surface and discharged off the end of the shaker into a separate collection bin (the “cutting box”).

Disposal: The separated dry(er) cuttings are then transported for safe disposal, often following strict environmental regulations.

The efficiency of a shale shaker is heavily dependent on the screen mesh size. Finer mesh screens remove smaller particles but have lower fluid capacity and can plug more easily.
