As an OEM manufacturer of oil sludge treatment system in China, GN solids control design and produce standard oil sludge treatment system to treat drilling waste, waste oil sludge, oily water, and other oil waste. We have GNOST-01, GNOST-05 & GNOST-15 oil sludge treatment system with treating capacity 1 ~2 m3/h, 5m3/h and 15m3/h. Also we can produce customized oil sludge treatment system as client’s special requirement. The purpose to use GN oil sludge treatment system is to reduce the drilling waste in volume before feeding to Thermal Desorption Unit and separate the oil, water and solids, so that the power consumption and operation cost will be reduced and the treatment efficiency of TDU will be also improved.


The technical configuration including:
1. 20ft containerized pre-mixing tank module, 2 sets
2. Double deck shale shaker separation module, including the double deck shale shaker with anti splash cover and flushing system, mud agitator, liquid level meter, 1 set


3. Fully Hydraulic drive decanter centrifuge two phase separation module, 1 set , 18 inch bowl diameter, bowl length 61 inch, the typical treating capacity is 60m3/h and dewatering capacity is 15m3/h, The main motor is 100HP, the fully hydraulic drive system is from VISCOTHERM brand. The full hydraulic drive decanter centrifuge can be used in high ambient temperature for heavy mud with flexible bowl and differential speed. The bowl main components are made of duplex stainless steel SS2304 by centrifugal casting, which is superior to the performance of SS304 and SS316L.
4. Chemical dosing unit module, 1 set
All of the above modules are installed inside standard container with certificate for convenient movement. If you need a customized solution of oil sludge treatment system, pls contact with GN solids control

GN Oil Sludge Treatment Centrifuge Unit for South America Client

Recently one set of oil sludge treatment centrifuge unit with tank cleaning unit is ready for delivery to South America client, the system consists of three phase centrifuge separation unit, Inclined plate clarifier module, waste transfer module, chemical dosing unit module, etc.
The technical configuration is as below:


1. Oil sludge treatment centrifuge unit, one unit of three phase separation centrifuge with feeding pump is installed on the mud tank. It is used for oil, water, solids separation, the solids is collected by skips, the water and oil will flow to the oil storage tank and water storage tank under the 3 phase decanter centrifuge, the oil pump and water pump will transfer them to the client’s storage tank automatically, there is liquid level meter in the oil tank and water tank to control the high level and low level.


2. Three module automatic tank cleaning unit, including suction skid with chemical dosing unit, treatment skid with inclined plate clarifier (IPC) and electrical membrane pump, storage skid with holding tank and high pressure pump which suck the treated water to the high pressure cleaning machine. There are 2 high pressure pump, one pump with control panel in use, one pump with separate control panel as back up. Both of the high pressure pump can suck the treated water from fluids holding tank or three phase separation centrifuge unit water storage tank. The treated water in holding tank can be used for high pressure cleaning machine, also it can be treated by the three phase separation centrifuge unit through the feeding pump. The 3 skids are connected with corrosion resistant rubber hose in the same size, they can be placed close to each other as a complete tank cleaning system, also it can be used separated in different place as requirement.

Tank cleaning unit and oil waste separation system

As the manufacturer of tank cleaning unit and oil waste separation system in China, GN solids control has designed and produced customized tank cleaning unit and oil waste treatment system for our client.


GN automatic tank cleaning unit is a closed loop system to clean the mud tank , oil tank, chemical tank and slurry tanks. GN tank cleaning unit can supply fresh water to the high pressure tank cleaning machine/nozzle which is mounted inside the tank to be cleaned. By the tank cleaning continuous process, it will minimize the water consumption and manpower. The high pressure pump is installed on the one skid tank cleaning unit which is used to supply the fresh water to the high pressure cleaning nozzle. We have two different design for the tank cleaning unit, one is the one skid design, all the components are installed on one skid for convenient transportation; the other one is the 3 skid design, it is composed of suction and discharged skid, treatment skid, storage skid, each skid with DNV lifting frame for operation at offshore rig platform. We can provide CNEX, ATEX and IEC EX as per project requirement.


After treated by the tank cleaning unit, the fluids can be treated by three phase decanter centrifuge separation system for oil, water, solids separation, the treated water can be also supplied to the high pressure cleaning machine, the oil can be recovery and the solids for final disposal. The three phase decanter centrifuge GNLW364 is designed for solids liquid liquid separation, with capacity 5m3/h. The max speed is 3964rpm and max G force 3200G. The screw propeller is protected by tungsten carbide tiles for longer working life. The mud distribution nozzle is protected by tungsten carbide inserts.

Automatic tank cleaning system

GN automatic tank cleaning system is a set of automatic tank cleaning system designed and manufactured customized according to client’s requirement. It is a closed-loop system used for continuous cleaning of mud tanks, oil tanks, and chemical tanks.


This automatic tank cleaning system supplies clean water to the vertical pipeline pump installed next to the mud tank, and the industrial hose pump feed the sewage back to the tank cleaning system for purification. The clean water is supplied to the vertical pipeline pump for continued circulation, thereby minimizing water consumption and labor costs.
The processing capacity of this system is up to 30m3/h which can operate continuously. It consists of three parts: mud tank, walkway guardrail, manifold assembly. The inlet is equipped with GN made filter, which can effectively avoid the damage caused by large particle solids to the hose pump, thereby improving system stability and service life.
The working principal of GN automatic tank cleaning system is as below:
Firstly, the tank bottom mud is sucked by the pump through the filter by the industrial hose pump, then discharged into the inclined plate clarifier through the static mixer in the discharge manifold of the hose pump. Through the dosing pump, the chemicals are sent into the static mixer and fully mixed with the mud.
Secondly the mixed mud is settled in the inclined plate clarifier, the solid is extracted by the diaphragm pump and discharged into the skip; The liquid overflows into the mud tank from the outlet of the inclined plate clarifier, pumped out by the vertical high-pressure pump, and discharged into the automatic spraying device for cleaning. Then, it is sucked back into the purification system by the industrial hose pump for further processing.
