The shale shaker is a coarse cuttings removal device for drilling fluid with simple structure and adjustable vibration G force. GN Solids Control connects the main shaker unit and the underflow dry shaker unit to the mud cleaner, making the shaker system larger and reducing the footprint of the system, but ensuring flow.

The system has a centrifugal degasser to remove air that invades the drilling mud. The degasser can effectively remove air and ensure the performance of the mud. This also ensures that the sand pump has sufficient pressure to deliver the drilling mud to the mud cleaner cyclone.

A centrifuge is used to remove fine particles from the drilling mud. The GN Solids Control centrifuge is stable and easy to operate, meeting the needs of the drilling site. The material application of the rotating parts and the protective design of the consumable parts greatly extend the working time and reduce the maintenance cost.

GN Solids Control is also equipped with a screw conveyor to collect the waste from the above equipment. On the platform, collecting cuttings is also an important task due to limited space. For more information on offshore drilling mud tank systems, please feel free to contact us.

This week, GN Solids Control shipped two sets of oil-based cuttings processing equipment to Russia for the recovery of drilling fluids from oil-based cuttings. Considering the weather, the equipment is installed in the container, and this design will also make transportation easier.

The cuttings equipment is an important part of the closed loop mud system, which can recover more valuable drilling fluid and reduce waste discharge. Reduce drilling costs and protect the environment.

GN Solids Control not only provides a single unit, but also provides a cuttings handling system that includes different types of equipment. Vertical drill cutting dryers and settling centrifuges are key equipment in chip handling systems.

For oil-based drilling cuttings, vertical cutting drying units are ideal for separating drilling fluids and cuttings. The drying unit receives the cuttings discharged from the solid-controlled vibrating screen and operates at 900 rpm to effectively reduce the oil on the cuttings to 5%. We use a high-hardness scraper to push the separated chips off the screen. The high quality scraper ensures stable performance of the drying unit and low maintenance costs.

The fine particles flow out of the cuttings dryer through the sieve holes and enter the buffer tank. The waste slurry processing centrifuge is used to further separate the effluent from the dryer. We recommend using an ultra-wearable screw pump to deliver the mud from the buffer tank to the centrifuge for fine particle separation. The centrifuge was run at 3200 rpm to produce a separation factor of 2062 g, under which 2 micron sized fine particles would be removed. After treatment by a sedimentation centrifuge, the drilling fluid can be reused.

GN Solids Control offers vertical drill dryers and centrifuges with fixed speed or VFD variable frequency control modes. Customers can find almost all equipment for cuttings from the GN Solids Control product catalog. Sludge vacuum pump and screw conveyor for cuttings, vertical dryers for high temperature dewatering and high-speed centrifuges for fine cuttings.

GN Solids Control is a professional supplier of solid-liquid separation solutions in the market. Recently, a batch of solid-state equipment is ready for shipment to US customers engaged in solid-liquid separation business. The equipment included in this order is a shale shaker and a large bowl centrifuge.

The shale shaker and the decanter centrifuge are two kinds of solid control equipment with different working principles. The shale shaker separates the solids using a wire mesh depending on the solid size, while the centrifuge separates the solids by centrifugal force. The shale shaker is mainly used for the separation of coarse particles, and the sedimentation centrifuge is mainly used for the separation of fine particles. Therefore, in a step-by-step solid-liquid separation system, the process steps of the centrifuge are always located behind the shaker.

GN Solids Control shale shaker are characterized by simple structural design and easy operation. The shale shaker is fully treated to make it strong and able to withstand high vibration forces. During the shale shaker transportation process, fix the shale shaker platform with fixing blocks and bolts. After reaching the scene, just loosen the bolts before the machine is running. The GN Solids Control shale shaker is fixed with a composite frame pre-tightening screen for long life.

GN Solids Control centrifuges use duplex stainless steel as the material for the bowl. The material has better machinability and centrifugal casting technology for better dynamic balance. For solid-liquid separation, GN Solids Control has a range of products to handle different capacities and applications. GN Solids Control centrifuges are not only widely used in drilling fluid solids control systems, but also widely used in environmental industries such as wastewater treatment and mud dewatering.

GN Solids Control offers a full range of solids control equipment for drilling mud recovery projects. At the same time, more and more customers from other industries will use solid-liquid separation equipment. For more information on GN Solids Control, please feel free to contact us.

Recently, GN Solids Control completed the production and commissioning of a 5m3/h oily sludge treatment system and prepared to send it to Guangdong for the oil sludge reduction treatment project.

This oil sludge treatment system consists of the following modules:

The GN Solids Control sludge treatment system consists mainly of the following modules:

1. Premixing module – This module includes a mixing tank, a stirrer and a transfer pump. First, the sludge is diluted in the tank to make the sludge more fluid and easy for subsequent module processing. Water and chemicals are added to the storage tank, and as the temperature of the heating system increases, the emulsified oil separates from the solid to become a demulsification mixture.

2, coarse screening module – a high G shale shaker is the key equipment of the module. The coarse particles will be removed through the screen. In order to prevent sludge splashing, the vibrating screen is also equipped with an anti-splash device.

3. Three-phase separation module – This module is combined with a centrifuge assembly and a disc centrifuge assembly. The centrifuge is used to remove most of the solids in the sludge to reduce the solids content. The liquid phase will then be sent to a disc centrifuge for separation of fine oil, water and ultrafine solids.

4. Chemical Dosing Device – GN Solids Control provides a container chemical dosing device that distributes chemicals to each module in the system. The containerized design makes the module easy to transport.

GN Solids Control has extensive experience in the development of this type of sludge handling system. A large number of case studies have been available at home and abroad for reference. For more information on GN Solids Control sludge handling equipment, please feel free to contact us.

The drilling and drying system is a major component of the closed loop system for drilling fluid treatment. It recovers as much of the drilling fluid as possible by handling the cuttings with high humidity. This week, GN Solids Control completed the manufacture of two vertical drill chip dryer systems and will ship them to Xinjiang customers soon.

Oil-based drilling cuttings are mostly treated with vertical drying systems. The entire system consists mainly of a cuttings drying module and a fine particle removal module. Each module has a critical core device.

Cuttings drying module

The vertical cutting dryer is the key equipment for the drying module. Usually, the cuttings are fed into a cuttings drying device. Under the action of centrifugal force, the oil will be separated from the cuttings and passed through the sieve holes into the collection tank in the drying device. The dry screen has an opening size of 250, 350 and 500 microns and can be used for different sizes of cuttings drying. The GN Solids Control cuttings dryer is equipped with a flushing system and an air knife system for cleaning the mud collecting tank and the screen to avoid clogging.

Fine particle removal module

The high specific gravity mud purification centrifuge is the key equipment of this module. The liquid effluent from the dryer will be pumped to a high specific gravity mud purification centrifuge for further processing to remove fines from the drilling fluid. In order to ensure the performance of the centrifuge, GN Solids Control takes into account the high-speed operation, the protection of wearing parts and the use of materials in the manufacturing process. Long-term operation and less maintenance ensure the efficiency and economic benefits of the equipment.

In drill cutting systems, mud tanks are used to install equipment and collect and store drilling fluids. The chips entering the dryer from the drying device and the centrifuge can be conveyed by a screw conveyor device, which is a conveying device widely used for conveying solid phase materials.
