2 sets of drilling waste management system to Africa

2 sets of drilling waste management system are shipped to Africa for oil based drilling cuttings treatment.


The screw conveyor as drilling waste transfer system to transfer the oil based drilling cuttings to vertical cuttings dryer top open port. The working principal of the vertical G dryer is that the screen basket traps wet solids and accelerates up to 900rpm with max 420G. The fluids passed through screen basket opening, the solids extracted by flights which is installed on the cone, the cone rotate slower than the bowl. The flights are protected by tungsten carbide alloy for abrasion resistance, the gap between the screen basket and bowl for proper operation. The screen basket opening with option as 0.35mm, 0.5mm, 0.25mm, the most popular screen opening is 0.5mm, the smaller screen opening will be very easily blocked. So the internal high pressure air knife is used to flush the screen basket regularly. The independent oil lubrication system is used to lubricate the bearing system via oil pump, from top to bottom flow back to oil tank via oil return pipe.


The components including flights, rotor, screen basket, bell jar, 55KW main motor, control panel, lubrication system, upper shell, feeding hopper, filter unit, cushion, mud block plate, distribution plate, solids discharge trough, oil return pipe, motor pulley with belt, oil tank, etc.


The high speed decanter centrifuge and VFD decanter centrifuge is installed on the telescopic skid to separate fine solids from the drilling fluids, the treated fluids can be recovery and reused to prepare new drilling fluids, the customer can save money through drilling waste disposal cost reduction, drilling fluids recovery, waste transportation cost reduction. The GNLW363-VFD decanter centrifuge with max G force up to 3063G, the max speed is up to 3900rpm, the normal working speed is 3200rpm, the screw pump installed on the package skid as decanter centrifuge feeding pump.

Centrifugal pump and jet mud mixer ready for shipment

Recently one batch of centrifugal pump and jet mud mixers are ready for shipment to our international clients. The C series centrifugal pump has been used as transfer pump, mixing pump, charging pump, trip pump, feeding pump for different applications, such as oil & gas drilling solids control system, drilling waste management system, oil sludge treatment system, industrial waste water treatment, solids liquid separation system, chemical mixing unit, etc. As transfer pump, GN centrifugal pump can be used to transfer drilling fluids, oil sludge, drilling waste, waste water, waste sludge, etc. materials. The features of GN centrifugal pump including:

  1. pump casing and impeller material is hard ductile iron alloy, which is abrasion resistant material to improve working life.
  2. Bearing from FAG brand for improve working life.
  3. Centrifugal casting skid instead of welding skid to reduce vibration and provide reliable operation, so that the whole pump and motor life can be extend.
  4. With different motor and impeller size, different head, the different flow rate can meet client’s different requirement. The jet mud mixer is a combination of centrifugal pump, mixing hopper, pipelines, valves, flexible connector, control panel. It is an ideal unit for chemical mixing, mud mixing with compact footprint and flexible connection. The mixing hopper is venturi type mixing hopper with 4 inch and 6 inch size for selection, combination with different model centrifugal pump, the mixing rate is different. The user can connect the jet mud mixer with client’s existing storage tank by flexible hose conveniently. GN own brand control panel can be installed on the jet mud mixer unit for convenient operation. If required, stainless steel material mixing hopper is available for corrosive material. The mixing hopper can be installed on top of mud tank for goods mixing performance.

  5. If you have requirement for mud mixing system, pls contact with GN solids sales for customized solution.

Hydrovac Slurry Treating System manufacturer

As one of GN solids liquid separation system, GN Hydrovac Slurry Treating System’s working principal is also solids and liquid separation. The main purpose is to get waste water recovered and dry solids collection, it can save cost for the customer by less water consumption, less waste disposal cost and earn more money from project. We have over 11 units of Hydrovac Slurry Treating System working in USA and Canada, the technical specs is more or less similar as below:

  1. 1 sets of slurry collection hopper system, the general treatment capability for this hydro vac slurry treating system is to treat about 30 ~ 40 hydro vac truck loading every day. The special designed large hopper can accept slurry from 2 hydro vac truck at the same time, it will improve the treating efficiency of the whole system. The submersible slurry pump suck the slurry from collection hopper to coarse solids separation shale shaker.
  2. 1 set of coarse solids separation unit, the coarse solids are separated out by 1mm size opening shaker screen, to protect the equipments in the next step and extend longer working life, the fluids drop into the catching tank. Another submersible slurry pump transfer the fluids to fine solids separation unit.
  3. 1 set of fine solids separation unit, the 4 inch desilter cone separation cut point is 20 microns, the discharged fluids drop into the mud tank, the screw pump installed in the system will feed the fluids to decanter centrifuge for further treatment.
  4. 1 set of decanter centrifuge package with chemical dosing unit, the decanter centrifuge mechanical separation cut point is 2~ 5 microns, by chemical jetting, the ultra fine solids can be separated out up to 1 microns, so the water recovery will be more clear, which can be reused or send to waste water treatment facility.
