GN Decanter Centrifuge System for Africa Oilfield Waste Water Treatment

Recently one set of GN decanter centrifuge separation system are ready for shipment to Africa oilfield waste water treatment project. The system including mixing module, decanter centrifuge separation module, chemical dosing unit module, water recovery and transfer module.


The mixing module including mixing tank with mud agitator, to mix the oilfield waste water, the decanter centrifuge feeding pump will suck the water from the mixing tank to decanter centrifuge, at the same time, the chemical dosing unit will prepare the mixed chemicals and the screw pump will transfer the chemicals to centrifuge feed tube, so the decanter centrifuge can treat the waste water better, the treated water will flow to the water recovery tank and will be transferred to other tanks by the transfer pump.


The decanter centrifuge can separate the waste water into solids phase and liquid phase, GN also produce three phase decanter centrifuge, to separate the waster water into oil, water and solids. A three phase decanter centrifuge uses continuous high G centrifugal force to separate components based on density differential. The three-phase separation (solids, water, oil) happens because:
Solids (highest density) move to the bowl wall.
Water (middle density) forms an intermediate layer.
Oil (lowest density) forms an inner layer (if present in sufficient quantity).

GN decanter centrifuge features including:
1. The bowl and screw core shaft are made of duplex stainless steel SS2205 or SS2304 by centrifugal casting, which is superior to the performance of SS304 and SS316;
2. The solids outlet and liquid outlet are protected by replaceable hard alloy sleeve.
3. The main material of the screw is duplex stainless steel SS2205 or SS2304.
4. The screw propeller is protected by tungsten carbide tiles for longer working life.

GN Drilling Cuttings Treatment Equipment for Middle East Customer

One batch of GN drilling cuttings treatment equipments are ready for delivery to Middle East customer, including 3 sets of high G drying shaker GNZS594K and 2 sets of vertical cuttings dryer GNCD930G.
What is the difference of high G drying shaker with vertical cuttings dryer?
1. Application difference: The high G drying shaker is normally used to treat water based drilling cuttings, the vertical cuttings dryer is normally used to treat oil based mud/ drilling cuttings.


2. Working principal difference: High G drying shaker ( also called as high G dryer) is high vibration G force shale shaker with fine mesh shaker screens. It is drived by 2ea vibration motors, the shaker screen is 4 pcs of 585x1165mm composite material frame shaker screens. When the water based drilling cuttings are feed to high G dryer buffer tank, the massive G force immediately pins solids against the fine screen mesh ( as fine as 200 mesh/74 microns).Liquid passes through the screen and is recovered, while dry solids are conveyed and out by augers.


Vertical cuttings dryer ( also called as verti-G dryer), when the OBM or SOBM wet cuttings are feed to verti G dryer feeding port by screw conveyor, A stainless steel screen basket traps wet solids and accelerates it up to 900rpm with up to 420G, the liquid is forced through screen openings, the dry solids are extracted by the angled flights attached to the rotor, which rotate slightly slower than the screen. The tungsten carbide protect the flights from abrasive solids and ensures longer operation life.
3. Treatment result is different.
The high G drying shaker can dry the WBM drilling cuttings with moisture less than 30% ~ 40%, the vertical cuttiings dryer can dry the SOBM drilling cuttings with OOC <5%, which can be sent to Thermal Desorption Unit for further treatment.

The bearing is premium SKF bearing for reliable and longer working life. The T series decanter centrifuge is mainly used for dewatering unit.


GN solids control design and manufacture waste management for hydrovac slurry treatment system. The working principal is to use solids liquid separation equipment to treat the slurry from vacuum truck of hydrovac project. The slurry is contaminant free which is from physical utility location in public right of ways, and directional drilling for replacement of underground pipes and construction.


A complete hydrovav slurry treatment system including waste catch hopper, coarse solids separation shaker with fluids catching tank, Fine mesh shaker , desilter and mud tank, dewatering decanter centrifuge and chemical dosing unit with centrifuge dewatering tank or telescopic skid. The decanter centrifuge and VFD control panel and feeding pump are all installed on the telescopic skid with fluids collection tank and a transfer pump.
Except for T series decanter centrifuge, GN also produce fully hydraulic drive decanter centrifuge, Y series separation decanter centrifuge, C series clarifying decanter centrifuge and three phase decanter centrifuge.
