This week, GN’s fabrication department was busy finishing the final assembling of 2 sets containerized cuttings dryer systems for Russia client. Containerized design is especially for application in the low temperature area. Operators could work inside the container without bearing for the cold weather. Equipment could also be protected in warm place.
So far, GN has ever sent more than 10 units this type system to Russia. In the process of fabrication this kind of containerized cuttings drying system, GN accumulated lot of experience in equipment layout inside and what equipment will be needed to make the system works well.
Cuttings dryer is the main equipment in the system. The dryer is installed at one end of the container. At this part, the container is designed with open top cover. A hopper is connected with the feeding port of the cutting dryer for collecting the drilling cuttings. Beside the dryer unit, a cantilever crane is installed there for repairing purpose when lifting the upper part of the dryer.
Effluence discharged from the cutting dryer gravity flows into the collecting tank in the middle part of the container. On the tank, a mud agitator is installed for blending the fluids to prevent the solids from settling to the tank bottom.
A screw pump for feeding to decanter centrifuge is also installed inside the container for easy connecting with the collection tank. This tank is used to transfer the recovered drilling fluids from collection to tank to out connected decanter centrifuge for polishing. After treated by the decanter centrifuge, the drilling fluids could be reused.
For operators’ convenience, the container is also equipped with washing platform with clean water pipeline connecting port and cabinet for tools and small wear parts storage.
Now these 2 set containerized drilling cuttings treatment system are under the final assembling procedure, after that, all the equipment would be tested for trial running. GN has already contacted the shipping forwarder for preparation of delivery of the system. For more information on the system, please feel free to contact with GN.
