GN Solids Control is pleased to announce the recent shipment of a batch of High G Force Drying Shakers and Mud Agitators to a prominent customer in the Middle East. This delivery underscores our commitment to providing advanced, efficient, and reliable solids control solutions to the global energy sector, particularly in key drilling regions.

The supplied GN High G Force Drying Shaker is engineered for superior performance in primary solids control and cuttings drying. Designed to process solids from primary separation equipment, it effectively recovers valuable silts and ultra-fine sands while transforming cuttings into a consistently stackable and conveyable form. A key operational and economic advantage is its ability to achieve excellent drying results without the need for expensive chemicals or polymers. The shaker’s adjustable G-force, reaching up to an impressive 8.0 G, provides the versatility to handle a wide range of drilling conditions and material types.

Complementing the drying shaker is the reliable JBQ Series Mud Agitator, a critical component for maintaining uniform drilling fluid properties in processing tanks. For applications requiring less than 5.5 kW, our agitator utilizes a compact blender cycloid speed reducer, making it ideal for mixing tanks where space is a consideration. For higher power needs above 7.5 kW, the design incorporates a robust turbo and worm gear speed reducer. This configuration ensures large torque transmission, steady revolution, and highly reliable operation under demanding conditions. Common models in this series, such as the JBQ5.5kW, JBQ7.5kW, JBQ11kW, and JBQ15kW, offer flexible solutions to meet various system requirements.

This combination of the high-performance drying shaker and the dependable mud agitator forms an integral part of a complete GN Solids Control drilling fluids processing system. The shipment to our Middle Eastern partner reaffirms GN’s role as a trusted provider of tailored equipment that enhances operational efficiency, reduces environmental footprint, and improves overall cost-effectiveness for drilling operations worldwide.

This commitment to application-specific engineering, combined with the use of resilient, high-quality materials, directly translates to enhanced reliability, durability, and separation efficiency in challenging environments.

A key differentiator for GN is our integrated in-house PLC and electrical control system design branch. This capability gives us a distinct advantage in developing sophisticated measurement and control technology. Our proprietary control systems intelligently monitor and adjust operations, significantly boosting the performance, automation level, and operational availability of both our decanter and three-phase centrifuges, ensuring they deliver consistent results with minimal downtime.

Versatile Applications Across Operations:
The GN centrifuge portfolio is engineered to address a wide spectrum of industrial separation challenges, including:

Dewatering and thickening of sludges, drilling mud, and various suspensions.

Clarification of different process liquids.

Three-phase separation of two immiscible liquids and solids.

Classification of solid particles by grain size within a wet suspension.

Separation of solids based on density differences.

This latest delivery to the offshore sector is a testament to our equipment’s capability to meet the stringent demands of marine drilling, where reliability and precision are non-negotiable. We extend our thanks to our client for their trust and look forward to supporting their mission with our high-performance separation solutions.

We are pleased to highlight the deployment of a specialized GN Decanter Centrifuge System for oilfield wastewater treatment at a project in Africa.

Mixing Module: Ensures optimal conditioning of the wastewater feed for effective separation.

Decanter Centrifuge Module: The core separation unit, utilizing high G-force to efficiently separate solids from liquids.

Chemical Dosing Module: Provides precise addition of flocculants or other treatment chemicals to enhance separation performance.

Clean Water Recovery & Transfer Module: Handles the conveyance of clarified water for safe disposal or potential reuse, closing the treatment loop.

At the heart of the system is GN’s advanced centrifuge technology. While the decanter centrifuge has operated on a consistent principle since the 19th century, GN elevates this proven technology through modern innovation. We design our centrifuges—including both two-phase decanters and three-phase models—around specific separation tasks and client requirements. The use of resilient, high-quality construction materials significantly enhances durability and performance in demanding applications.

A key GN advantage lies in our in-house control expertise. We operate a dedicated branch for designing PLC and electrical control systems. This vertical integration allows us to implement superior electrical components and sophisticated control technology. As a result, the performance, reliability, and operational availability of our decanter and three-phase centrifuges are substantially improved, ensuring consistent results with minimal downtime.

This system delivered to Africa is more than just equipment; it represents a holistic approach to wastewater management. By integrating mixing, chemical dosing, high-efficiency separation, and water handling into a cohesive unit, we help operators reduce environmental impact, recover valuable resources, and achieve cost-effective compliance.

GN remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of separation technology, delivering customized solutions that combine proven principles with cutting-edge control and robust design for the global energy sector.

We are excited to announce the successful supply of a complete set of GN drilling cuttings treatment equipment to a valued customer in the Middle East. This shipment underscores our commitment to providing advanced, efficient, and reliable solids control solutions to the global oil and gas industry, particularly in key regions like the Middle East.

The order includes a powerful combination of primary drying and secondary processing equipment designed to handle drilling cuttings effectively:

Three Units of GNZS594K High G Force Drying Shaker

The GN High G Force Drying Shaker is engineered for superior primary solids control and cuttings drying. It effectively processes cuttings from primary solids control equipment, recovering valuable silts and ultra-fine sands. A key advantage of this system is its ability to discharge solids in a consistently stackable and conveyable form, significantly reducing waste volume and handling costs. Furthermore, this efficient drying process achieves excellent results without the need for expensive chemicals or polymers. With its adjustable G-force of up to 8.0 G, the shaker delivers optimal performance across a wide range of drilling conditions and fluid types.

Two Units of GNCD930G Vertical Cuttings Dryer

For final-stage processing and maximum liquid recovery, the package includes two GN Vertical Cuttings Dryers. This robust equipment utilizes high centrifugal force to thoroughly dry drilled solids in oil-based or synthetic-based fluids. Its operational principle is both efficient and durable: a stainless-steel screen bowl rotates at up to 900 RPM, generating a force of 420 G to separate liquids from solids. The liquid is forced through the screen, while the dried solids are conveyed upward by a scroll (angled flights) that rotates slightly slower than the bowl. Critical wear parts, like the scroll flights, are protected with tungsten carbide to withstand abrasive solids, ensuring a long operational life and maintaining the precise gap between the scroll and bowl essential for reliable operation.

This equipment suite represents a comprehensive solution for responsible waste management. By deploying the GN High G Drying Shakers and Vertical Cuttings Dryers, our Middle East client can achieve drier solids, maximize base fluid recovery, reduce overall waste disposal costs, and meet stringent environmental standards.

GN remains dedicated to innovating and delivering cutting-edge solids control and waste management technology, helping our clients operate more efficiently, economically, and sustainably.
