GN Solids Control deliveried 10 sets of mud
storage tank to PNG last week , the mud tanks all can be delivery inside of
container to save freight cost . This PNG client has been work with GN solids
control for more than 3 years and the early cooperate was for shaker screens ,
After the screen order running well , they started to purchase other items like
mud tank from GN Solids . Untill now, they already purchased 16 sets of mud
tank from us and all of them meet requirement with happy working solution and
design .

The mud tanks are using 8mm steel for tank
bottom and 6mm steel for tank wall , 2200 mm x 2200 mm size make it can be
delivery inside of container , V type bottom make it easier to clean mud tank
and reduce solids settling down and block . 8 inch mud suction line at bottom
to keep sure mud suction and 6 inch mud feed line to make a circulation . It is
checker plate on tank top with a hole for checking , the hole is covered by a
door to keep sure mud tank is sealed and stop run goes in . Each tank has a
same design and can be connected by pipelines to maximum mud tank storage
capacity , the 4 sets of vertical tank can be lay in a line or square as per
client request and jobsite condition .

Other then mud tanks , GN Solids supply
solids control equipment also including shale shaker , oilfield
decanter centrifuge , desander to separate sand , desilter to separate silt ,
pump for transfer drilling mud , mud agitator for avoid solids setling down .
The electrical control system will be customized as per different equipment and
different standard .

Drilling waste management equipment is designed to dry oilfield drilling cuttings that discharge from shale shaker on solids control system . The drilling cuttings that discharge from shale shaker normally contains some percentage of fluids but we don’t want the fluids content , and wanna to separate the fluids contain out to get dry solids . The vertical cuttings dryer is designed by centrifugal force to separate fluids contain out within 5 percent , so that the dry solids can be delivery away for further process .

Other then vertical cuttings dryer , there will need oil field decanter centrifuge to recycling the fluids content that separated from oil field drilling cuttings . The fluids contain will contains a lot of fine solids cause screen of vertical dryer minimum 0.25mm size hole , one set of high speed decanter centrifuge will be layed after vertical cuttings dryer for 2 – 5 microns separation , the dry solids out of decanter centrifuge will be delivery away for further treatment together with dry drilling cuttings out of vertical cuttings dryer and fluids contain will be transferred into solids control system for re-use .

There can be different of pump for feeding decanter centrifuge , screw pump is the best way to protect solids content to keep more the majority solids can be separated out . The screw pump normally will be lay separately or on the vertical cuttings dryer working frame . It will takes some space on the frame . Screw auger will be used also on feeding of vertical cuttings dryer or transfer other solids content or drilling cuttings to save man power . GN Solids Control build a full line of drilling waste management system , there are more information on GN website or you can ring GN office for more information .

GN Solids Control booked a 18 square meters stand at Oil and Gas Indonesia 2015 in Jakarta which will be shown between sep 9th and sep 12th year 2015 . GN Solids Control showed one set of GNZS703 –HB shale shaker in year 2013 at Jakarta to promote GN shale shaker in Jakarta for oil and gas industry . There will be different model of shale shaker shown in different industry and area , GNZS703E –HB model is the most popular model for oil and gas industry , so GN Solids will show this model mostly for oil and gas show like Indonesia , China , Russia , Americal , Middle East , etc . But for Australia show , GN Solids show GNZS752E –DZ model mostly for trenchless or coal gas methan industry for max 200 GPM capacity .

The shale shaker can be fixed with desander and or desilter cyclone for finer separation for 50 microns by desander cyclone or 20 microns by desilter cyclone or both cyclones installed for a three in one machine . The bottom shaker screen will be working to dry solids from desander and or desilter nozzle and clean mud after cyclone will be guide into mud tank though different pipeline . So shale shaker plus desander and shaker plus desilter and shaker is the most popular three phase cleaning set up , some times you can choose desander and desilter without bottom shaker depending on budget and drilling mud requirement , but this will happen a lot of drilling mud lost cause too much fluids contains in the solids particals drop from desander and desilter nozzle .

Other than shale shaker , GN Solids Control supply a full line of solids control system including mud tank and other tank attachment , please contact GN Solids office for more information .

GN 200 GPM solids removal unit is a very compact design for drilling industry for 200 GPM mud flow at 40 mesh shaker screen , the 40 mesh shaker screen can be separate about 400 micron solids , some times , client can choose high mesh shaker screen for finner micron separation . The mud tank can be 3 m long for the max compact for diamond drilling which will need very compact and very fast removal . The mixing application can be a optional choice depending on drilling conditions or requirement .

Main Equipment For Solids Removal Unit

1. Shale shaker will be for first phase cleaning for 100 – 400 microns separation , the 200 GPM solids removal unit will use the mini shaker to reach max 200 GPM mud flow but there are different size of shaker for options depending on drilling requirement . GNZS703E shale shaker is the most popular model for oil and gas drilling and coal bed methan drilling or any drilling mud flow around 500 GPM or above .

2. Desander and desilter is an option choice, client will chose spec depending on their requirement. If for very small mud flow mud recycling , normally they won’t need cyclones and this will require centrifugal pump which will require big power system , so some client will choose without desander and desilter .
3. Decanter centrifuge will work to separate solids 2 -5 microns by high speed centrifuge . There are different bowl size of decanter centrifuge , and GNLW223 decanter centrifuge will be mainly working for diamond drilling and the 200 GPM solids removal unit and GNLW363 decanter centrifuge will be working on oil and gas drilling , coal bed methan , etc
4. Mud tanks and pumps depending on requirement .
