The 3 phase decanter centrifuge module consist of 3 phase decanter centrifuge, mud agitator, water collection tank, oil catching tank, to get discharged water, oil and separated solids.


The 3 phase disc centrifuge separation module consists of 3 phase disc separator, oil buffer tank with oil pump, water buffer tank with water pump, the oily fluids is feed to three phase disc separator to get clear water, oil and few solids. The separation result of 3 phase decanter centrifuge and 3 phase disc centrifuge is different to meet different client’s treatment requirement, the maintenance cost and operation procedure is also different.
GN solids control have 3 models standard oil sludge treatment system with 1m3/h, 5m3/h and 15 m3/h treating capacity, which can be used to treat refinery oil tank bottom cleaning oil sludge treatment, drilling waste treatment, oily waste water treatment, we can also provide customized modules oil sludge treatment according to different projects. Except for oil sludge treatment system, GN also design and produce water based drilling cuttings treatment and oil based drilling cuttings treatment system, if you need a drilling waste management solution, pls contact with GN solids sales.

Double Deck shale shaker and cuttings dryer for Africa drilling company

One set of double deck shale shaker and one set of vertical cuttings dryer are ready for shipment to Africa for drilling cuttings treatment system.
The double deck shale shaker will be applied as high G force drying shaker to separate the coarse solids, it can be used for both water based drilling cuttings and oil based drilling cuttings. The anti splash cover on the top to prevent the drilling mud from splashing. The top layer and bottom layer total 6pcs shaker screens are composite material frame for longer working life and better separation performance.


The vertical cuttings dryer is ideal equipment to be used for oil based drilling cuttings treatment, after treatment, the oil content on the cuttings is below 5%, the fluids will flow to an intermediate tank, then feed the fluids to decanter centrifuge for further treatment, the fine solids will be separated out by decanter centrifuge, the fluids can be reused for drilling. Before treated by decanter centrifuge, the fluids can be treated by drying shaker to reduce solids content, it will increase the decanter centrifuge treating capacity and performance, also it can prevent the centrifuge bowl from damaged by the high solids content.


GN standard drilling waste management system GNCM-40A is consist of VFD decanter centrifuge, vertical cuttings dryer, flushing pump, centrifuge feeding screw pump, fluids collection tank, skid, electric control system, accessories. The compact design with small footprint is loaded into standard container.
Except for drying shaker and vertical cuttings dryer, GN solids control also produce drilling waste treatment decanter centrifuge, including high speed decanter centrifuge, VFD decanter centrifuge, Fully Hydraulic Drive decanter centrifuge, we provide different explosion proof standard for option, IEC EX, ATEX, CNEX. For more information about high G drying shaker and vertical cuttings dryer, pls contact with GN Solids Control.

Drilling Rig Solids control equipments spare parts manufacturer in China

As a professional drilling rig solids control equipments manufacturer in China, we provide complete spare parts for our OEM equipments, and also replacement shaker screens for other brand shale shaker. Recently one batch of drilling rig solids control equipments spare parts are ready for maintenance of our solids control equipments. The list of spare parts including:
For Vertical cuttings dryer:


Different opening screen basket with scraper, Bell jar assembly with scraper, Rotor assembly with flights, Gearbox, pulley of power unit, air knife components, belt
The maintenance of the centralized lubrication system of GN vertical cuttings dryer is very easy, the user need to clean the oil tank regularly. If found abnormal, remove the screws at the four corners of the oil tank to separate the oil tank from others, tighten the 4 screws of the upper cover and oil tank. The mud discharged through the screen basket gap contains solid particles, which will damage the screen basket. When the solids layer increased to specific gap, the screen basket need to be replaced, otherwise the drilling cuttings dryness can not meet the technical requirement. Regularly check the wear of screen basket scraper, and adjust the gap between the scraper and the screen basket to keep the gap in a normal range.
For decanter centrifuge：


Hydraulic coupler assembly, Bearing block
For screw conveyor:
Variator, auger drive, hanger shaft


For screw pump:
Stator, rotor, universal joint, gearbox , variable speed gearbox
For VFD control panel, electrical parts and components, such as drives, PLC, pressure gauge, HMI Display unit, etc.
Except for these spare parts, we also produce replacement shaker screens for different brands shale shaker from API 20 to API 325 which comply with API RP 13C standard. If you need solids control spare parts and shaker screens, pls contact GN solids control.
