Recently one set of ATEX and CE certified solids control system are ready for shipment to Europe client.
A complete solids control system including mud gas separator, drilling fluids shale shaker, mud cleaner combo unit ( desander, desilter, shale shaker), vacuum degasser, decanter centrifuge, feeding pump, mud agitator, centrifugal pump, mud tank system and explosion proof electrical control system. When this system carries both ATEX and CE certifications, it signifies compliance with stringent European Union regulations for safety and performance.
CE Certification
The CE mark is the manufacturer’s declaration that the product meets all applicable EU health, safety, and environmental protection legislation (known as EU Directives). It is mandatory for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA).
ATEX Certification (The Specific Hazardous Area Requirement)
ATEX derives from the French “ATmosphères EXplosibles.” It refers to two key EU Directives governing equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres:
Why it’s crucial for Solids Control: Drilling fluids release hydrocarbon gases (methane, etc.). These gases can mix with air inside tanks, pits, and equipment, creating a potentially explosive atmosphere (Zone 1 or Zone 2). An ATEX-certified system is specifically designed to prevent ignition.
An ATEX and CE Certified Solids Control System is not just a high-quality piece of industrial equipment; it is a safety-critical, legally compliant system engineered to operate safely in the high-hazard environment of drilling operations where explosive gases may be present. It represents a significant investment in risk mitigation and regulatory compliance for any drilling contractor operating in demanding regions.
Except for oil drilling mud solids control system, GN also produce shaker screens, drilling waste management equipments, oil sludge treatment system, TBM & construction slurry separation plant, HDD mud recycling system and mining tailings treatment equipments.
