GN Solids Control is pleased to announce the successful delivery of a hydraulic drive decanter centrifuge unit specifically designed for diamond core drilling operations in Australia. This shipment highlights our continued focus on providing compact, efficient solids control solutions for mineral exploration and drilling sites where space, mobility, and reliability are paramount.

Addressing the Challenges of Geological Drilling

In the course of geological or mineral exploration, geological coring drilling is typically employed. During geological drilling, clear water or bentonite is commonly utilized as the drilling fluid. As environmental protection demands rise increasingly high, the traditional mud pool sedimentation approach has failed to fulfill the requirements of geological drilling mud treatment. Maintaining clean drilling fluid is critical to core quality, bit life, and overall drilling efficiency.

The GN Hydraulic Centrifuge Solution

Considering the characteristics of geological coring drilling mud and working conditions, GN Solids Control has developed a hydraulic centrifuge system for the solid-liquid separation of coring drilling mud. This innovative system operates without an electrical power supply, using a diesel engine to supply power, with a hydraulically-driven decanter centrifuge and feed pump to carry out drilling mud treatment, prepare drilling mud, recover drilling fluid, reduce drilling waste, and meet environmental protection requirements.

A Proven Solution for the Australian Market

GN Solids Control has extensive experience supplying hydraulic centrifuge units for diamond core drilling in Australia. The hydraulic drive configuration allows seamless integration with drilling rigs already equipped with hydraulic systems, reducing additional power requirements on site. The system is engineered to be robust and simple, making it well suited to remote exploration locations.

This delivery once again demonstrates how GN Solids Control supports diamond core drilling projects with tailored equipment solutions. By combining hydraulic drive technology with proven centrifuge design, GN continues to provide practical, field-ready systems for the Australian drilling market.

GN Solids Control – Proven Strength, Global Reach.

GN Solids Control is pleased to announce the successful delivery of a GNTBM-500B Slurry Separation Plant to a major tunneling project in the Middle East. This advanced system is specifically engineered for slurry balance tunnel boring machines (TBMs) and pipe jacking operations, where efficient and reliable slurry management is critical to project success.

The GNTBM-500B is designed to deliver a robust processing capacity of 500 cubic meters per hour (2200 GPM) , ensuring continuous and effective treatment of excavated slurry. This high-throughput capability makes it an ideal solution for medium to large-scale tunneling projects requiring consistent separation performance.

Comprehensive Multi-Stage Separation Process

The GNTBM-500B incorporates a complete multi-stage separation system to ensure thorough slurry purification. The integrated treatment train includes:

Vibrating Screens (Shale Shakers) – The primary stage removes coarse particles and large debris from the incoming slurry. The system is equipped with high-efficiency vibrating screens featuring enhanced vibration force to maximize solid-liquid separation.

Desander Unit – The second stage eliminates medium-sized sand particles, protecting downstream equipment from abrasive wear.

Desilter Unit – The third stage achieves fine solids removal, delivering clean slurry ready for recirculation back to the TBM.

Decanter Centrifuge (Optional) – For projects requiring advanced dewatering or removal of ultra-fine particles, GN provides decanter centrifuges in combination with chemical dosing units. When aged or waste slurry needs to be discharged or requires removal of extremely fine particles, GN’s large-bowl decanter centrifuge can be deployed with flocculants from the chemical dosing system to dewater the slurry, discharging clean water that can be reused or returned to the system.

Modular Design for Rapid Deployment

Understanding the demands of busy construction sites, the GNTBM-500B features a compact and modular design. This allows for a smaller footprint, faster assembly and disassembly, and easier transportation between job sites. The system is truly ready for rapid deployment, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.

GN Solids Control is pleased to announce the successful shipment of a fully hydraulic drive decanter centrifuge and a vertical cuttings dryer to a valued client in Asia. This delivery demonstrates our continued commitment to providing advanced solids control and drilling waste management solutions across the region.

Fully Hydraulic Drive Decanter Centrifuge

The centerpiece of this shipment is the fully hydraulic drive decanter centrifuge. Unlike conventional electric motor-driven models, this centrifuge features a cutting-edge hydraulic drive system designed for demanding drilling operations.

The system drives both the conveyor and bowl from a hydraulic pump unit through two independent hydraulic oil circuits, enabling precise and flexible adjustment of bowl speed and scroll differential speed even during operation. This capability optimizes separation performance under varying feed conditions and makes the centrifuge particularly well-suited for high-temperature environments and heavy mud applications.

With fewer electrical components, the hydraulic system reduces the risk of electrical failures, simplifies troubleshooting, and minimizes downtime. The centrifuge, hydraulic drive system, and control panel are integrated on a single skid for easy rig-up and transport.

Vertical Cuttings Dryer

Complementing the centrifuge is a vertical cuttings dryer, a core piece of equipment for drilling waste management. Primarily designed to treat drill cuttings discharged from shale shakers when drilling with oil-based or synthetic-based mud, the dryer utilizes high-speed centrifugal force to effectively remove residual liquid from cuttings.
