Recently we shipped shaker separation package to environmental service company, the working process is very simple, firstly the solids liquid mixture slurry are feed to shale shaker through top box pipelines, the slurry flow to buffer box firstly and move forward evenly from the first shaker screen to the last shaker screens, through vibration strength, the solids are separated out from the liquids, the dry solids are collected by cutting box and the fluids are collected by catching tank, the centrifugal pump installed on the tank will transfer the fluids to other place.

If required further treatment, decanter centrifuge with dewatering unit can be used, by using proper chemicals, the decanter centrifuge separation cut point it up to 1 micron, most of the ultra fine solids are separated out, the clear water is recycled, it can be sent to further water treatment process or it can be reused.
Features of drying shale shaker:

1. The shaker screen installed on the shale shaker is produced by GN solids control and the composite material frame shaker screen can work longer working life and storage for longer time.
2. The water spray system are equipped with the shale shaker to avoid blocking the shaker screen.
3. The high G force up to 8.0 G for better drying performance provided by 2 vibration motor
4. The different mesh screens can be used to separate different size solids as per requirement.
   For further treatment decanter centrifuge, we can produce different size centrifuge with different treating capacity, from 9 inch bowl, 14 inch bowl, 18 inch bowl, 22 inch bowl, 30 inch bowl and different bowl length, we can also make customized design decanter centrifuge according to our customer’s material to be treated.

The mud tanks can be used as storage tank and mixing tank, each compartment with its agitator for better mixing, through pipelines the jet mud mixer can mix from any compartment.

2 mud tank mixing system are ready for shipment which will be used for trenchless engineering work. GN desander unit for TBM, Piling is the first phase separation and second phase separation system, we have 3 models of desander unit for option, GNMS-200D, GNMS-500D, GNMS-1000D with treating capacity 200gpm, 500gpm, 1000gpm. GNMS-200D desander unit separation cut point is 15 microns, GNMS-500D desander unit separation cut point is 40 microns.

After TBM desander unit, the fluids can be recovered, if the silt is accumulated too much in the fluids, dewatering centrifuge unit should be used to separate the ultra fine solids, by using proper chemicals, most of the solids bigger than 1 microns can be separated out, the customer can get clear water recovery and dry solids for easier disposal. The unit can be installed inside standard container with windows, doors for less noise and sun/water proof. For less cost, the chemical dosing unit can be also installed on the dewatering centrifuge tank.

To prepare for new drilling fluids, the mud mixing tank should be applied. We can design mud mixing system with different mixing capacity and different chemicals according to client’s requirement.

3 units of dewatering centrifuge units are ready for shipment to Europe client. The equipment list including:

3 sets of GNLW224EP-VFD decanter centrifuge
3 sets of dewatering unit
3 sets of centrifuge feeding pump
3 sets of liquid collection tank

The working process is that the centrifuge feeding pump transfer the slurry to decanter centrifuge, at the same time, the proper chemicals are mixed and prepared in the PAM Three Tank Automatic Powder Polymer Mixing System, and the chemical dosing pump transfer the chemicals to decanter centrifuge, too. The slurry and chemicals are mixing in the decanter centrifuge feed tube, then the decanter centrifuge separate the solids and water in the screw. The longer of the centrifuge bowl length, the longer time of the fluids stay in the screw, so the separation performance is better to get clear water and drier solids. The water will be reused to save cost for the user, the waste will be reused a lot and save the waste disposal cost.

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.
