GN solids control can design and manufacture the complete line of drilling waste management system, including shale shaker, high G dryer, vertical cutting dryer, decanter centrifuge, screw pump, etc equipments.
The first step for drilling waste management is to separate the solids cutting from the liquid drilling mud. Once solid and liquid drilling waste have been separated, companies can use a variety of technologies and practices to manage the wastes. For some applications, drilling wastes are solidified or stabilized prior to their ultimate management practice. The management technologies and practices can be grouped into three major categories: waste minimization, recycle/reuse, and disposal.
Function of waste minimization
It can reduce volume or impacts of waste, including the following two aspects.
1 minimize generation of drilling waste
2 use mud and additives with lower environmental impacts
Function of recycle/reuse
1 recycling mud
2 roadspreading
3 reuse of cutting for construction purpose
4 restoration of wetlands using cuttings
5 use of Oily cutting as fuel
How to disposal?
1 discharge to Ocean
2 slurry injection
3 onsite burial (pits,landfills)
Drilling waste management decanter centrifuge
GN solids control can produce 3 models decanter centrifuge for drilling waste management system.
1 Middle speed centrifuge LWF450x1000N
2 High speed centrifuge GLW355X1250N
3 Variable speed centrifuge GLW-V-355X1250N
Usually for a big drilling waste management system, vertical cutting dryer and decanter centrifuge is the most important part, and it is too costly of centrifuges from American, in the next step, Chinese products will be considered in such project.
