The benefits of a good solids control system

BY gnadmin 3 February 2023 Shale Shaker, solids control

As everyone known, a good solids control system can benefit a lot in different aspects, such as increase the drilling rate, make the drill bit longer working life, lower drilling mud cost and disposal cost for barite, chemicals, water, cuttings; reduce horsepower losses to gel and viscosity; reduce the possibility of lost circulation and blowouts; less drag pulling pipe; reduce surge and swab pressures; less differential pressure sticking; better cleaning work, etc.

A complete solids control system consists of primary shale shake, desander, desilter ( or mud cleaner), degasser, decanter centrifuge, etc.
Shale shaker is the first phase solids removal. To use a proper mesh shaker screens to reach your required result according to the cut points. The high performance shale shaker has reduced the solids from the drilling fluids, the fluids drop into the sand trap, and pumped by centrifugal pump and feed to desander cone, desilter cone. If the shale shaker separation performance is not good, the desander cone and desilter cone will be damaged very fast.

Hydrocyclones- desander & desilter & mud cleaner, are the second phase cleaning and third phase cleaning equipments. 10” cone and 12” cone is normal used as desander hydrocyclones; 4” cone is normally used as desilter hydrocyclones. A 500gpm desander use 1ea 10” cone, 1000gpm desander use 2ea 10” cone, 1500gpm desander use 3ea 10” cone. A 500gpm desilter use 8ea 4” cone, 1000gpm desilter use 12ea 4” cone, 1500gpm desilter use 16ea 4” cone. We will choose different numbers of hydrocyclones for your different treating capacity requirement.
As one of the experienced solids control equipments manufacturer in China, GN solids control produce complete line solids control equipments and mud system, we also provide design and first time commissioning service to our clients. Pls contact with GN solids control for more information.

GN Mute Solids Vacuum Pump for Tunneling Slurry Transfer

The vacuum pump is used to suck the slurry used for Tunneling project and discharge to another place, the max suction distance is 50m horizontally, max discharge distance is up to 1000m horizontally. The vertical lifting depth is up to different materials. The max solids content allowed is 80%, and max solids size can be pumped is up to 75mm, it can be used to transfer tunneling slurry, especially for long distance transfer. Since the vacuum pump is 100% air operated pump, no need electricity supply, it is suitable for hazardous area application. When the vacuum pump is installed near city center, a mute tank is applied to reduce the noise.

Tunneling slurry is a mixture of topsoil, Portland cement, and water. The consistency of the slurry is different depending on its purpose in a repair project. The slurry is made thinner and more watery for filling purposes and thicker with less water for lifting purposes. In foundation repair and tunneling, slurry is used as a filling material and is of a thinner consistency.

We have 3 models of solids vacuum pump for option with different flow rate, GNSP-10B with flow rate max 10m3/h, GNSP-20B with max flow rate 20m3/h, GNSP-40B with max flow rate 40m3/h. There are automatic mode working and manual mode working for option based on different working conditions. After several times testing for suction time and discharge time, the user can adjust the timers of suction and discharge until it reach your requirement.
It can be widely used to transfer waste mud, drilling cuttings, oil sludge, tunneling slurry, animal waste, hazardous waste, sand and solids, etc. material. If you need solids vacuum pump, pls contact GN solids control.
