GN Solids 14000BBL Rapid Liquid Mud Plant for Drilling Fluids Company

GN Solids Control shipped one set of 14,000 BBL Rapid Liquid Mud Plant to a professional drilling fluids company recently, delivering a flexible, high capacity solution for large scale drilling operations. This system exemplifies GN’s capability to engineer robust mud storage and handling systems that meet the rigorous demands of modern drilling projects.

API-650 Design Standard

The mud plant is engineered in full accordance with API650, the American Petroleum Institute’s widely recognized standard for welded steel tanks for oil storage. This design specification ensures structural integrity, durability, and safety, making the storage tanks suitable for long term field service under demanding drilling conditions.

CSC Container Certification for Global Transport

Each mud tank is configured as a 40ft high container with a capacity of 440 BBL per tank. A key feature of this mud plant is its CSC (International Convention for Safe Containers) container certification. It enables intermodal transport compatible with standard ocean freight and land based container transportation workflows. The containerized design allows equipment to be rapidly mobilized and deployed across different drilling sites, making it particularly suitable for projects where site conditions and equipment locations change frequently.

Double layers Stacking for Space Optimization

To maximize the utilization of limited site space, the mud tanks are designed for double layer stacking. This configuration significantly reduces the overall footprint while maintaining the required storage capacity, offering drilling fluid companies greater flexibility in site layout.

Summary of Key Specifications
Total Capacity 14,000 BBL
Design Standard API-650 (American Petroleum Institute)
Transportation Certification CSC Container Certification
Tank Configuration 40-ft High Cube Container
Capacity per Tank 440 BBL
Stacking Design double layer stackable

With its substantial storage capacity, containerized structure, certified transportation design, and space saving configuration, the 14,000 BBL Rapid Liquid Mud Plant provides a reliable and efficient solution for modern drilling fluid management and rapid deployment requirements.

default

1) From solids control to mud system, GN secures another full-system order from Kuwait.
This order represents a comprehensive turnkey mud processing solution, integrating all key components required for efficient drilling fluid management. The fully loaded system includes:
• Shale Shaker – the first phase solids separation solids control equipment
• Desander – Secondary separation of medium-sized solids
• Desilter – Fine solids separaton
• Vacuum Degasser – Removal of entrained gases
• Drilling fluids Decanter Centrifuge – Fine and ultra-fine solids separation


2) As a KOC (Kuwait Oil Company)- approved solids control manufacturer, GN delivers total mud processing solutions.
3) System integrates shale shaker, desander, desilter, vacuum degasser, and decanter centrifuge – fully loaded.
4) ATEX-certified electrical controls, tailored for Middle East’s harsh conditions.
Recognizing the extreme operating environment of the Middle East, the system is equipped with ATEX-certified electrical controls. This certification ensures safe and reliable operation in potentially explosive atmospheres, a critical requirement for oil and gas facilities across the region. The ATEX-rated components, combined with robust engineering, make the system ideally suited for Kuwait’s demanding desert conditions — where high temperatures, dust, and stringent safety regulations require equipment of the highest standard


5) The 2600 BBL complete drilling rig solids control system order from Kuwait reinforces GN Solids Control’s position as a leading provider of total mud processing solutions — from individual solids control equipment to integrated, turnkey packages that boost drilling efficiency and safety worldwide.

ATEX and CE Certified Solids Control System for Europe Client

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.
