GN Drilling Cuttings Treatment Equipment for Middle East Customer

One batch of GN drilling cuttings treatment equipments are ready for delivery to Middle East customer, including 3 sets of high G drying shaker GNZS594K and 2 sets of vertical cuttings dryer GNCD930G.
What is the difference of high G drying shaker with vertical cuttings dryer?
1. Application difference: The high G drying shaker is normally used to treat water based drilling cuttings, the vertical cuttings dryer is normally used to treat oil based mud/ drilling cuttings.


2. Working principal difference: High G drying shaker ( also called as high G dryer) is high vibration G force shale shaker with fine mesh shaker screens. It is drived by 2ea vibration motors, the shaker screen is 4 pcs of 585x1165mm composite material frame shaker screens. When the water based drilling cuttings are feed to high G dryer buffer tank, the massive G force immediately pins solids against the fine screen mesh ( as fine as 200 mesh/74 microns).Liquid passes through the screen and is recovered, while dry solids are conveyed and out by augers.


Vertical cuttings dryer ( also called as verti-G dryer), when the OBM or SOBM wet cuttings are feed to verti G dryer feeding port by screw conveyor, A stainless steel screen basket traps wet solids and accelerates it up to 900rpm with up to 420G, the liquid is forced through screen openings, the dry solids are extracted by the angled flights attached to the rotor, which rotate slightly slower than the screen. The tungsten carbide protect the flights from abrasive solids and ensures longer operation life.
3. Treatment result is different.
The high G drying shaker can dry the WBM drilling cuttings with moisture less than 30% ~ 40%, the vertical cuttiings dryer can dry the SOBM drilling cuttings with OOC <5%, which can be sent to Thermal Desorption Unit for further treatment.

16 Sets Drilling Mud Centrifuge and Vertical Cuttings Dryer for overseas oilfield service company

Recently 16 sets of drilling mud centrifuge and vertical cuttings dryer are ready for delivery to overseas oilfield service company.
One set of drilling mud centrifuge package including 1 unit of decanter centrifuge, telescopic skid and 1ea decanter centrifuge feeding pump. GNLW363D decanter centrifuge is the most popular high speed decanter centrifuge used for drilling mud treatment and drilling cuttings treatment. The bowl diameter is 14 inch, the bowl length is 50 inch, the designed treating capacity is 200gpm, and typical capacity is 132 gpm. The max bowl speed is 3900rpm, and typical bowl speed is 3200rpm. The max G force is 3063G, typical G force is 2062G. The separation cut point is 2 ~5 microns.

One set of vertical cuttings dryer package including 1 unit of vertical cuttings dryer, cuttings dryer skid, flushing pump and solids discharge system. The most popular vertical cuttings dryer model is GNCD930G, the treating capacity is 30 ~50 tons per hour. For the oil based drilling cuttings fresh collected from primary solids control shale shaker, the treated oil content in the cuttings is less than 5%. If the client needs less oil content in the cuttings, the solids discharged can be sent to Thermal Desorption Unit. The screen diameter is 930mm, we have 0.25mm, 0.35mm, 0.5mm three type screen opening for option. The rotation speed is 900rpm, G force is 420G, oil tank capacity is 48L. The main motor is 55KW, the oil pump motor 0.55KW.The standard vertical cuttings dryer with solids discharge collection hopper, as client’s requirement, GN designed customized solids discharge system with vibration motor for faster solids discharge.


Except for decanter centrifuge package and vertical cuttings dryer package, GN solids control also produce different size screw conveyor, high G drying shaker and complete line of solids control equipments and shaker screens.

Offshore Drilling Mud Centrifuge and Cuttings Dryer to Asia Oilfield Service Company

Recently one batch of offshore drilling mud centrifuge and cuttings dryer are ready for delivery to Asia oilfield service company. The equipments list is as below：


1. 6 units of GNLW363D-FHD Fully Hydraulic Drive decanter centrifuge
2. 2 units of GNCD930G vertical cuttings dryer with skid


3. 8 units of variable speed screw pump, 2 units as flushing pump for vertical cuttings dryer, 6 units as feeding pump of fully hydraulic drive decanter centrifuge
The features of GNLW363D-FHD Fully Hydraulic Drive decanter centrifuge including:


1. ATEX motor and control panel, the cable meets the requirements for use in marine environments.
2. The hydraulic bowl and scroll drive system drived both the hydraulic motor ROTODIFF and the bowl of the decanter centrifuge from hydraulic pump unit by two hydraulic oil circuits.
3. The centrifuge can be used for high temperature ambient up to 55 C degree for heavy mud, suitable for zone 1 and zone 2 application.
4. VISCOTHERM Fully hydraulic drive system
5. Max speed is up to 3600rpm, max G force is up to 2610G.
6. The bowl material is duplex stainless steel SS2304 from centrifugal casting, the screw material is stainless steel 304.
7. The solids discharge port and fluids distribution port is protected by tungsten carbide inserts, the screw is protected by tungsten carbide tiles
8. The bearing is SKF brand
During centrifuge working process, the bowl speed ,differential speed, fluids pool depth, feed rate, flocculant consumption can be adjusted according to actual situation. The higher bowl speed, the drier solids discharge, more clear liquid effluent to be get. The lower differential speed, the longer time of the solids phase stay inside the bowl, so the discharged solids will be drier.
If you need fully hydraulic drive centrifuge, vertical cuttings dryer, pls contact with GN solids control.

Drilling Rig Solids control equipments spare parts manufacturer in China

As a professional drilling rig solids control equipments manufacturer in China, we provide complete spare parts for our OEM equipments, and also replacement shaker screens for other brand shale shaker. Recently one batch of drilling rig solids control equipments spare parts are ready for maintenance of our solids control equipments. The list of spare parts including:
For Vertical cuttings dryer:


Different opening screen basket with scraper, Bell jar assembly with scraper, Rotor assembly with flights, Gearbox, pulley of power unit, air knife components, belt
The maintenance of the centralized lubrication system of GN vertical cuttings dryer is very easy, the user need to clean the oil tank regularly. If found abnormal, remove the screws at the four corners of the oil tank to separate the oil tank from others, tighten the 4 screws of the upper cover and oil tank. The mud discharged through the screen basket gap contains solid particles, which will damage the screen basket. When the solids layer increased to specific gap, the screen basket need to be replaced, otherwise the drilling cuttings dryness can not meet the technical requirement. Regularly check the wear of screen basket scraper, and adjust the gap between the scraper and the screen basket to keep the gap in a normal range.
For decanter centrifuge：


Hydraulic coupler assembly, Bearing block
For screw conveyor:
Variator, auger drive, hanger shaft


For screw pump:
