GN Solids Control Co., Ltd. is a leading Chinese-based manufacturer and service provider specializing in solids control and waste management equipment for the drilling industry.
Core Products and Services
GN’s product line covers the entire process of solids control and drilling waste management. A typical system is arranged in a sequential “mud tank” setup.
1. Solids Control Equipment (The “Rig Mud System”)
This is their primary focus. The equipment is designed to remove drilled solids of varying sizes from the drilling fluid.
-
Shale Shakers: The first and most critical line of defense. They use vibrating screens to separate large drill cuttings from the drilling fluid. GN offers various models, including linear motion and balanced elliptical motion shakers.
-
Vacuum Degassers: Used to remove trapped gases (like methane, H2S) from the drilling fluid, which is crucial for safety and maintaining mud density.
-
Desanders & Desilters: Hydrocyclones that use centrifugal force to remove fine, abrasive sand and silt-sized solids. Desanders handle larger particles than desilters.
-
Decanter Centrifuges: High-speed rotating machines that separate the finest solids (down to a few microns) and control the viscosity and density of the drilling fluid. They are essential for barite recovery (saving expensive weighting material).
-
Mud Cleaners: A combination unit that typically includes a desilter bank mounted over a fine-screen shaker.
-
Mud Tanks & Agitation Systems: The tanks that hold the drilling fluid, equipped with agitators to keep the mud homogeneous and prevent solids from settling.
2. Drilling Waste Management
After solids are separated, GN provides equipment to handle the waste.
-
Vertical & Horizontal Cutting Dryers: Also known as “high-G dryers,” these further reduce the liquid content of the cuttings from the shakers, recovering more valuable drilling fluid and reducing the volume of waste for disposal.
-
Sludge Pumps: Transfer waste slurries and thickened sludges.
-
Screw Pumps & Piston Pumps: Used for moving high-viscosity fluids and slurries.
-
Complete Dewatering Units: Integrated systems that use chemicals (flocculants) and centrifuges to separate water from solids, producing dry solids for disposal and clean water that can often be discharged or reused.
3. Additional Equipment
-
Mud Mixing Systems: Automated systems for preparing and adding chemicals to the drilling fluid.
-
Power Generation & Control Systems: They provide diesel generators and integrated control cabins to power and manage their equipment packages.
Key Features and Strengths
-
One-Stop Shop: GN can supply individual pieces of equipment or a complete, integrated solids control system tailored to a specific drilling project.
-
Global Presence: With offices and service centers in key locations worldwide (including the USA, Russia, Middle East, and Southeast Asia), they provide strong after-sales support and local spare parts inventory.
-
Cost-Effectiveness: They are widely recognized for offering reliable equipment at a more competitive price point than many Western OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), making them a popular choice for cost-sensitive operations.
-
Customization: They can design and build systems to meet specific client requirements, space constraints, or environmental regulations.
-
Experience in Diverse Applications: Their equipment is used not only in oil and gas but also in HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling), CBM (Coal Bed Methane), water well drilling, and geothermal drilling.
