GN Solids Control<\/a> is a Chinese company that has established itself as a global leader in the design, manufacturing, and service of equipment for solids control, drilling fluid purification, and drilling waste management.<\/p>\n This compact system for offshore platform mainly consists of 2 parts.<\/p>\n GN would design and build a\u00a0Customized, Skid-Mounted Solids Control System<\/strong>\u00a0that is pre-assembled and tested onshore for easy installation offshore.<\/p>\n Compact & Modular Design<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0GN uses 3D modeling to create a space-efficient layout that fits the platform’s specific footprint. The system is often built into multiple, interconnecting skids.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Baffle System:<\/strong>\u00a0Internal baffles are crucial offshore to dampen fluid surge (sloshing) caused by the vessel’s motion. This maintains stability and ensures consistent suction for the pumps.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n High-Efficiency Layout:<\/strong>\u00a0The tank is divided into specific compartments that form a logical flow path for the drilling fluid:<\/p>\n Possum Belly \/ Shale Shaker Back Tank:<\/strong>\u00a0Receives fluid directly from the flow line.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Settling Compartments:<\/strong>\u00a0Allows for initial gravity separation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Suction Compartments:<\/strong>\u00a0Where the mud pumps draw clean fluid from.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Additive & Mixing Compartments:<\/strong>\u00a0For treating and weighting up the fluid.<\/p>\n GN Solids Control Desilters for Offshore Platforms Key Components of a GN Offshore Desilter Unit:<\/strong> Size: GN desilters typically use 4-inch or 5-inch hydrocyclones. A 4-inch cone is standard for fine silt removal.<\/p>\n Lining: For offshore durability, the cones are often lined with polyurethane or other abrasion-resistant materials to withstand the constant erosion from fine, abrasive solids.<\/p>\n Arrangement: Multiple cones (e.g., 8, 10, 12, or 16 per unit) are mounted on a single manifold to handle the high flow rates common in offshore drilling.<\/p>\n Skid-Mounted & Compact Design:<\/p>\n Offshore space is at a premium. GN designs its desilter units to be compact, modular, and skid-mounted for easy installation, integration, and movement on the rig.<\/p>\n The unit is pre-assembled and tested onshore to minimize commissioning time offshore.<\/p>\n Feed Pump:<\/p>\n A dedicated, high-head centrifugal pump (often a GN brand pump) supplies pressurized drilling fluid to the hydrocyclone manifold. Proper pressure (typically ~75 psi \/ 0.52 MPa at the inlet) is critical for efficient separation.<\/p>\n Shaker Deck (Integrated Mud Cleaner Option):<\/p>\n Often, the desilter unit is mounted over a fine-mesh screen shale shaker. This combination is called a Mud Cleaner.<\/p>\n The shaker processes the “underflow” (the waste slurry of fine solids and a small amount of liquid) from the hydrocyclones. This allows for the recovery of valuable liquid phase back into the active system, which is especially important with expensive oil-based or synthetic-based muds used offshore.<\/p>\n For more case info, please find Michael.<\/li>\n GN Solids Control is a Chinese company that has established itself as a global leader in the design, manufacturing, and service of equipment for solids control, drilling fluid purification, and drilling waste management.
