Drilling Mud Recycling System

Recently one batch of mud gas separator and mud guns are ready for delivery to Middle East client.

The mud gun and mud agitator are used in combination to prevent solid sedimentation of drilling mud, or to transfer mud; The quantity of mud guns depends on the size of the mud tank and is usually installed on the mud pipeline of the mud tank;
The pressurized mud flows into the mud gun through an external mud line ( customized configuration). By using the three nozzles at the bottom of the mud gun (designed at a 120 ° angle), the internal mud is sprayed out to achieve the purpose of transfering mud or cleaning the mud tank.
According to the structural characteristics, there are 2 types mud guns for mud tank system, one is fixed type with rotation angle 0º, one is rotary type with rotation angle 360º. According to the size of the gun inlet, it is divided into 2 inch mud gun and 3 inch mud guns. The three nozzles are designed with a 120 ° angle, allowing even a fixed mud gun to radiate the mud tank in all directions. For a rotating mud gun, it can radiate the mud tank without blind spots. The rotary mud gun adopts a foldable handle design, which is convenient and safe, optional gate valve, butterfly valve, or ball valve .The nozzle is made of polyurethane material, with a lifespan of up to 2000 hours.

The mud gun is consist of rotor, nipple, elbow pile clamp, gun body, nozzle four way, nozzle, handle assembly, fastener, stabilizer. The mud gun length is according to mud tank inner dimension, which will be confirmed by GN solids sales.

Recently one batch of solids control equipments are ready for shipment to our Indonesia client, it is for 4 sets drilling rig solids control system. The solids control equipments are separately from the drilling rig package and mud tank system. GN solids control have over 15 years experience to provide professional solids control equipments and customized solids control system for drilling companies all of the world.

Each set drilling rig solids control equipments including 2 units of GNZS594J-SHBJ linear motion shale shaker, 1 unit of mini desander GNZS752J-2S, 1 unit of mini desilter GNZS752J-12N, 1 unit of mud gas separator GNZYQ-1000A, several units of mud agitators, etc.

We can provide different type of desander and desilter according to clients’ requirement, we have desander unit without bottom shaker, which can be used separately as desander, we also have desander unit with bottom shaker, as desander cleaner, the bottom shaker can be mini shaker or GNZS594J-SHBJ 4 panel shale shaker, when mini shaker is utilized, the mini desander unit can be used for the low treating capacity condition, like 500gpm, 1000gpm. It is recommend to use the big shaker( 4 panel underflow shaker) for the high treating capacity desander, as 1500gpm.

The same as desilter unit, mini underflow shaker can be utilized for 500gpm, 1000 gpm, GNZS594J-SHBJ 4 panel shale shaker can be applied for 1500gpm.

GN Solids Control, a leading provider of solid control equipment in the drilling industry, is proud to announce the successful sale of four sets of drilling rig solid control systems to a major project in Indonesia. These state-of-the-art systems are equipped with cutting-edge technology and are designed to optimize drilling performance and ensure environmental compliance.

Each set of drilling rig solid control equipment comprises two units of the GNZS594J shale shaker, one unit of the GNZS752J-2S desander, one unit of the GNZS752J-12N desilter, one unit of the GNZYQ-1000A mud gas separator, and several agitators. Let’s delve into the functions and benefits of each component.

The GNZS594J shale shaker is a high-performance vibrating screen designed to remove larger particles and solids from the drilling fluid. With its efficient vibration motion, it effectively separates the cuttings from the drilling mud, allowing for better drilling fluid quality and reducing the wear and tear on downstream equipment.

The GNZS752J-2S desander is specifically designed to remove sand and abrasive particles from the drilling fluid. Equipped with multiple hydrocyclones, it efficiently separates the solids from the liquid phase, preventing them from causing damage to the drilling equipment and improving overall drilling efficiency.

The GNZS752J-12N desilter, on the other hand, focuses on removing finer particles and silt from the drilling fluid. By using a combination of hydrocyclones, it ensures that the drilling mud is free from unwanted solids, which in turn enhances the performance of downstream equipment and minimizes the risk of wellbore instability.

The GNZYQ-1000A mud gas separator is a crucial component in maintaining a safe drilling environment. It is designed to separate the gas from the drilling fluid, preventing gas kicks and allowing for the safe venting of hazardous gases. This ensures the safety of personnel and equipment on the drilling site.

To further optimize the drilling fluid properties, the solid control system is equipped with several agitators. These agitators provide continuous mixing of the drilling mud, preventing the settlement of solids and maintaining a homogeneous mixture that enhances drilling efficiency.

With the sale of these four sets of drilling rig solid control systems, GN Solids Control continues to demonstrate its commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions to the drilling industry.
