Drilling fluids vacuum degasser and mud cleaner for Middle East Customer

BY gnadmin 8 March 2020 Uncategorized

This week GN solids control finished production of vacuum degasser and mud cleaner for clients in Middle East.

We have 3 types of degasser for oil & gas drilling industry, vacuum degasser, centrifugal degasser, mud gas separator. The mud gas separator is installed before the solids control system trip tank, to separate the hazardous gas from the drilling fluids and prevent it from kick off. The vacuum degasser and centrifugal degasser is used after shale shaker and behind desander, desilter or mud cleaner, the function is to separate the gas from the gas cut mud and protect the next process equipments like centrifugal pump, and keep the balance of the drilling fluids, their function is same, just vacuum pump is installed horizontally on the tank top, the centrifugal degasser is vertically installed in the mud tank , it can save space on the mud tank.

The mud cleaner produced by GN solids control is a combination of desander cone, desilter cone and bottom shale shaker. With different qty of hydrocylones, there are different treating capacity for option. The desander cone, desilter cone material are 100% polyurethane which is wear resistance material. The bottom shale shaker equipped with 4 panel shaker screens, with composite material frame for longer working life. Centrifugal pump #1feed the mud from degasser tank to desander cone, the clean fluids dropped into the desander compartment, the solids are separated out and drop down to bottom shale shaker, the useful fluids will be collected and the drier solids are separated out from shaker screens. Centrifugal pump #2 feed the mud from desander compartment to desilter cone, the clean fluids dropped into desilter compartment, which is clean fluids can be reused to prepare for new fluids or can be reused directly.

Mud Cleaning System for North America Client

BY gnadmin 9 February 2020 Uncategorized

Recently GN solids control shipped several sets of mud cleaning system to our North America client, this is for their repeat orders for vacuum truck slurry/mud cleaning system. The technical configuration of the mud cleaning system is as below:

1) Slurry collection hopper which is installed on top of the slurry treatment system, in the previous design the slurry collection hopper is laying separately, considering the area limit at client’s working site, we put the slurry collection hopper on top of the mud cleaning tank to save space. There is discharge port under the collection hopper to feed directly to the 2 units of dual deck shale shaker.

2) The coarse solids separation tank including 2 units of dual deck shale shaker and 1 unit of mud agitator. The shaker screens installed is with coarse mesh size, so that coarse solids can be separated out in this process.
3) The fine solids separation tank including 1 unit of linear motion shale shaker with fine wire mesh to separate the fine solids from the slurry, the submersible slurry pump transfer the clean mud to the mud cleaner, the desilter cone separation cut point is 25 microns. The outter protection guard is desgined for HSE purpose according to client’s feedback.

4) The clean mud discharged from mud cleaner will be transferred to dewatering centrifuge system to separate ultra fine solids up to 1 microns. The dewatering centrifuge is a big bowl big volume decanter centrifuge with VFD control panel, to increase the separation efficiency and get drier discharged solids, chemical dosing system will be used before feeding to the dewatering centrifuge.
The discharged solids will be reused for construction industry, the recovered fluids can be also used in the process. For more information of the system, pls contact with GN solids sales.
