4 Sets Drilling Mud Tank Cleaning Waste Water Treatment Unit for Africa

Recently 4 sets of drilling mud tank cleaning waste water treatment unit are ready for delivery to Africa.
The delivery of these four units marks a significant step in supporting sustainable drilling practices in Africa. In many African oil and gas operations, environmental regulations are becoming increasingly stringent. The improper disposal of tank cleaning wastewater which often contains heavy solids, oil, and chemicals will poses a significant environmental risk.

The four units of tank cleaning waste water treatment unit being shipped are engineered to provide a comprehensive zero- discharge solution. By effectively separating solids, oil, and water, the system allows for the recycling of the water back into the drilling process or its safe disposal, while recovering valuable drilling fluids.
The automatic tank cleaning unit can be made into complete skid system and 3 part system according to the footprint of the jobsite. The main components including strainer, suction pump, chemical doing unit, static mixer, inclined plate clarifier ( IPC), electrical membrane pump, buffer tank, centrifugal pump, and explosion proof control system.

Key Features of the Treatment Units:

High-Efficiency Separation: Utilizing advanced mechanical separation technology, the units effectively remove suspended solids and oil from the wastewater.

Compact & Modular Design: Designed for ease of transport and rapid installation, these units are ideal for remote drilling sites where space and logistics are critical.

Chemical Dosing System: An integrated automated dosing system ensures optimal treatment efficiency with minimal operator intervention.

Robust Construction: Built to withstand the harsh operating conditions typical of African oilfields, ensuring high reliability and a long service life

GN Solids control is a professional manufacturer of solids control and drilling waste management equipment. With a focus on innovation and sustainability, the company provides solutions to oilfields worldwide, helping the operators to reduce their environmental footprint and improve drilling efficiency.

GN Solids Vauum Pump and Decanter Centrifuge for Middle East Client

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region presents some of the most demanding operating conditions for oil and gas drilling operations anywhere in the world.
GN Solids Control, a global manufacturer of solids control and drilling waste management equipments, has been serving the Middle East market for many years. With a deep understanding of regional challenges and a proven track record of successful deliveries, GN provides integrated solutions that combine advanced solids vacuum pumps and decanter centrifuges to help clients achieve operational excellence.

GN Solids Vacuum Pump:

For Middle Eastern projects, the GN Solids Vacuum Pump is deployed to extract oily sludge from pits and separators. The pneumatic design is intrinsically safe, preventing ignition risks in explosive environments while ensuring compliance with international safety standards. This makes it particularly valuable for:

  • Pit cleaning and sludge removal: Efficiently transferring accumulated sludge from drilling waste pits
  • Waste mud transfer: Moving high solids content drilling waste across site
  • Tank bottom cleaning: Removing residual sludge from storage tanks and separators
  • Hazardous waste recovery: Safe handling of materials in Zone 1 hazardous areas

GN Decanter Centrifuge:
GN manufactures decanter centrifuges with bowl diameters ranging from 9 inches (220 mm) to 30 inches (760 mm), accommodating a wide spectrum of processing requirements. Key features include:

The use of Decanter Centrifuges in Drilling Operations:

Fine Solids Removal: After primary separation equipment such as shale shakers, desanders, and desilters remove larger cuttings, the decanter centrifuge tackles the fine and ultra-fine solids that remain suspended in the drilling fluid.

Barite Recovery: Barite is an expensive weighting agent used to increase mud density. The decanter centrifuge can recover barite from drilling fluids, significantly reducing operating costs. By separating high gravity solids from low-gravity solids, the centrifuge enables operators to reuse valuable weighting materials.

Waste Volume Reduction: By removing solids from drilling fluids, the decanter centrifuge reduces the volume of waste requiring disposal.

GN 10,000 BBL Liquid Mud Plant Shipped to Africa

GN Solids Control has successfully completed the shipment of a state of the art 10,000 BBL Liquid Mud Plant to Africa. The new mud plant is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern drilling operations, combining high-capacity storage, advanced automation, and environmental stewardship into a single, transportable package.

default

Smart modular design: 750 BBL per tank, easy shipping, small footprint.
The total capacity of 10,000 barrels is distributed across multiple tanks, with each tank capable of holding 750 BBL. This modular approach offers significant logistical advantages, allowing for ease of shipping and a remarkably small footprint at the wellsite.
Special anti-corrosion coating – works with water-based and oil-based muds, longer life.

default

Durability is paramount in the harsh environments of drilling operations. The entire mud plant is protected by a special anti-corrosion coating system. This robust layer not only ensures a longer operational life for the equipment but also provides the versatility required to handle both water-based and oil-based drilling fluids. This adaptability makes the plant a highly flexible asset for operators facing varying geological formations.
