China first set of drilling cuttings vertical cuttings dryer was born in the workshop of GN Solids Control in Hebei Province China, in year 2012. It was a big green buddy with a rotation speed of 900RPM, although comparing with the nowadays newest design, the older brother has several shortcomings, it still attracted lots of eyeballs since 3 years ago.

Right now, since early year 2015, GN has improved the vertical cuttings dryer to the 4^th generation, this newly designed and manufactured vertical cuttings dryer has following features:

1. high rotating speed and reliable performance at a high rotating speed. A higher speed leads to a better separation result. You can see from jobsite working video about the result.

2. VFD control panel available. For the new generation of vertical cuttings dryer, GN continues their advantage in electric control panel designs, and enables this model to have 2 optional electric control panels as option, fixed speed one and VFD controlled one.

3. special designed air knife to avoid the screens to be jammed or blocked.

4. there are flites on the rotating assembly to help the solids to be discharged more quickly. During manufacturing , the rotating assembly is well balanced both before and after installing the flites.

5. three optional screen baskets available, operators could choose the suitable screen mesh per their cuttings condition and they also could buy all available meshes for stock. They are easy to change. All rotating parts, including the sreen baskets for spare parts, are well dynamic balanced.

North Africa market is very big oil drilling market, but very hard for oversea solids control equipment suppliers. The best way is to find partnership with local strong oil service company / mud service company to develop the market together.

GN Solids Control is China leading manufacturer for solids control equipment / waste management equipment. We already partner with the largest mud service / oil service company in North Africa for over 3 years. During the past years, we have cooperation on many different large projects.

1) Over 40 sets centrifuge project. All the centrifuge is working for over 20 sets drilling rigs solids control service.

2) Over 10 sets vertical cuttings dryer. All the dryer is working for WBM /OBM / SBM drilling waste management. The drying results can reach to 3% to 5%.

3) Over 10 sets high G drying shaker. The high G drying shaker can be used for treatment of water based mud drilling waste. Scomi in Iran also treat the oil based mud drilling waste by high G dryer shaker sometimes.

Except for above equipment for drilling waste management, GN Solids Control can also offer drilling mud solids control system / solidification unit / Thermal desorption unit. Etc. We may talk more about solidification unit here. This Solidification and stabilization are separate treatment techniques with similar goals. Solidification of wastes involves the production of a solid mass having sufficiently high structural integrity to allow transport and/or disposal of the solid without requiring secondary containment, i.e. mixing of sludge with shredded paper, sawdust, etc.

The working process including below:

1) The big waste collection hopper collects all the drill cuttings & drilling waste, which is conveyor to the mixing chamber by the underneath screw conveyor at pre-set capacity

2) Cement storage box is keeping cements powder, through the tubular screw conveyor, powders are sent to the mixer at pre-set capacity.

3) Absorber storage box is keeping reagent powder, through the tubular screw conveyor, powders are sent to the mixer at pre-set capacity.

4）There are 2ea 1.5inch liquid inlet, for water feeding, liquid chemical feeding, located beside the mixer inlet.

5）The high-shear mixer mixes all the material, and push to the front at the same time. When the solids go to the discharge port, it is already mixed sufficiently, then discharge

GN Solids Control is the first company to open market for solidification unit / stabilization unit. If you need more information, pls contact us freely.

The EXTRACTOR Dryer are be designed to remove NADF from drill cuttings from the drilling mud shale shaker.  The dryer is with capable or will be reducing the oil on cuttings to < 3% and to an overall total of < 6.9% when the drilling waste centrifuge is taken into account. Excess fluid will be recycled and packed after centrifugation and returned to the drilling mud active system for reuse. The system is not suitable for the treatment of water based mud cuttings.

The EXTRACTOR Dryer contains of a horizontally configured conical screen installed within a balanced cage that is driving at high speed by the  electric motor through a Cyclo- Gear drive gearbox. Positioned of the equipment within the cage is a scroll that turns and transports the separated solids from the machine to obtain highest cuttings dryness. The conical basket contains a suitable screen specially designed to minimize screen binding. The dryer machine is attached to an isolated sub-frame which in turn is mounted on a rugged oilfield skid for transport.

The EXTRACTOR Dryer will receives drill cuttings from the Solids Control equipment (shale shaker) by screw conveyor or vacuum system or and/or solids pump.  Drill cuttings then be transported into the Centre of the feed cone and distributed evenly through feed holes by centrifugal action into the flighting channels between the scroll and of the screen. As the drill cuttings pass through of conical screen, the solids layer becomes thinner and exposed to progressively more G-force.

The very high gravitational force will allows the liquid portion of the feed to pass through the cake bed and screen when the cake bed itself is continuously turned and swept outward to be discharged at the outer diameter of the screen. The dried drill cuttings exit from the front of the machine where they are either discharged to the environment or collected for further handling and/or treatment.

Three phase decanter centrifuge:

GN only provide 2-phase decanter centrifuge for oilfield applications as drilling, dewatering, waste management, etc. But we also have a requirement on the three phase decanter centrifuge, because some of our projects will need to separate solids, water and oil. If you are good supplier for three phase decanter centrifuge, pls contact with GN solids control. But GN vertical cuttings dryer is also an option for oil recovery in some cases. We provide a solution as below:

Firstly use a vertical cuttings dryer to recovery most of the oil from the waste cuttings, the oil content in the solids is lower than 5%. The recovered oil including some fine solids, GN decanter centrifuge can separate them out and then flow to the further treatment to get clean oil.

If you need oil sludge separation decanter centrifuge, pls contact with GN solids control or GN SOLIDS AMERICA in Houston.
