The GN vibrating shaker, hydrocyclone and decanter centrifuge are widely used in the mining industry for mineral, raw material, and ore extraction processes. GN Solids Control separation equipment is for the separation of different solids to clarify minerals or recycle water. GN separation technology has been applied worldwide to support the mining industry. Our client uses our separation equipment to increase their profits and optimize their procedures with smart solutions.

 

Separation solutions in mineral processing

Very different ore processing, such as gold and silver, lanthanoids, lead and zinc, nickel and copper, platinum are suitable to be processed with GN separation equipment. The ore processing operation varies for different customers, but separation or clarification is very important. Especially in the production of precious and non-precious metals. Among the separation equipment for mineral processing, the GN decanter centrifuge is the key performance equipment.

Separation equipment in mineral processing

GN decanter centrifuge is the key equipment for processing different kinds of minerals including calcium carbonate, zinc sulfate, aluminum hydroxide, kaolin, barite, titanium dioxide, etc.

There are many options for methods in mineral processing, it can be mechanical processing or chemical processing, GN decanter centrifuge designed for the mining industry is popular for cosmetic processing for the paint industry and processing in the paint industry. ceramics

The GN Shale Shakers are widely used for solids control, they are equipment that allows drilling cuttings to be removed from the drilling fluid and this entire process is done while circulating and drilling. In recent years NG technology has been improving, many different designs have come onto the market, and research on the best design is constantly progressing as solids control is vital to keeping down the costs associated with drilling fluid.

The primary principle of these Shale Shakers is to shake or vibrate the meshes with the drilling cuttings, with the motors vibrating it generates a centrifugal force that makes the equipment shake in Linear or Elliptical mode causing the drilling fluid to flow through Shakers Screen and return the drilling fluids or to another stage in the mud system, with this principle it separates the drilling cuttings or commonly called fluid solids from the drilling fluid so that it can be recirculated back to the well.

 

GN Solids Control is constantly producing Shale Shakers to serve the world market with these solids separation equipment. GN exports Shale Shakers to the most important markets in the drilling industry, including the United States, the Middle East, Russia, India, among others; They always choose us as the supplier par excellence due to our trajectory and professionalism. GN currently has International Certification in Quality Management System ISO 9001-2000. GN Solids Control operates the international sales, service, manufacturing, and distribution of oil and gas drilling mud separation systems.

With the passing of time, GN Solids Control is consolidating itself in the world market and shows its customers every day that its equipment has taken a huge step forward in the market, taking it to another level in terms of design and technology, having as strategic partners to well-known brands in the environment such as SIEMENS, Schneider brand for its electrical components and its vibration motors OLY from Italy and US Martin. Our Shale Shakers are made to last and stay on the market for a long time.

The GN mud dewatering unit is an excellent solution that could provide the separation processing for the ultra-fine solids’ particles, always less than 5 microns, in the water base drilling mud.

Description

The mud dewatering unit is an excellent solution that could provide the separation processing for the ultra-fine solids’ particles, always less than 5 microns, in the water base drilling mud.

Why Need a Mud Dewatering Unit?

As it is known during a normal drilling mud solids control processing, the primary equipment like shale shaker, desander, Desilter, even the decanter centrifuge can only remove the solids larger than 5 microns. For the solids less than 5 microns, it is difficult to separate out by using the regular mechanical method. After several times for using and recycling the drilling mud, the ultra-fine solids will build up to a large content in the drilling mud, which will disrupt the mud property. In order to maintain the mud property at a proper level, the operator needs to add water into the mud for dilution which will cost a large quantity of water. Here is the point, the mud dewatering unit is used to remove the ultra-fine solids from the drilling mud to prevent the built-up. Thus, great would be saved.

GN’s mud dewatering unit is designed to be fabricated inside a container. According to the equipment quantity involved in the system, the 20 ft or 40 ft container would be optionally chosen. After being treated by GN’s dewatering unit, the drilling mud could be treated as clean water for discharge or reuse.

GN Drilling Mud Dewatering Unit Processing Diagram

 

• A 3-Tank Automatic Flocculants Mixing Unit prepares the polymer or other chemical fluids.
• A Slurry pump takes the original mud feed to the decanter centrifuge.
• A chemical pump takes the mixed chemical fluids and then feeds them to the centrifuge.
• The chemical and mud mix inside the feeding tube of the decanter centrifuge.
• The Decanter centrifuge works to remove the flocculent-shaped solids from the mud.

GN High G Force Drying shaker is designed for primary solids control and drying the cuttings from the primary solids control equipment, recovering silts, and ultra-fine sands, providing solids in a consistently stackable and conveyable form and requires no expensive chemicals or polymers. GN high G drying Shaker with Adjustable G force Up to 8.0 G.

 

Shaker Models GNZS594F-SGZF, GNZS703F-SGZF

 

High G Drying Shaker Features

• Heavy-duty design and heat treatment for complete shaker deck to give adjustable Linear Motion G force up to 8.0 G to meet more application.
• Anti-Corrosion Stainless Steel for the shaker bottom frame to give high strength and longer operation.
• Patented rubber sealing system between shaker screen and shaker bottom frame to allow operators to use pre tensioned shaker screen without sealing rubber.
• Wedged type shaker screen locking system for fast screen replacement, prevention API shaker screen interchangeable with international top brand shakers with steel frame or composite material shaker screens.
• Patented mechanical drive shale shaker deck angle adjustment while working system.
• Simple stainless steel shaker locking system to protect the spring while moving.
• Rubber Covered dumping spring for less noise, safety, and longer life.

 

Process of the High G Drying Shaker Operation:

 

 

The drilling cuttings discharged from the primary shale shaker and desander desilters will be picked up by a screw conveyor, and another screw conveyor will take the drilling cuttings to feed to the High G drying shaker. Sometimes, the client will install a low-profile drying shaker just under the solids control tank to feed to the drying shaker directly. The drilling cuttings will be dried by the high G shaker, and fluids will be caught by the tank under the shaker, a centrifuge feed pump will take the fluids and feed them to a high-speed decanter centrifuge, after treatment by the high-speed decanter centrifuge, the fluids can return back the active mud system for reuse.
