API SHAKER SCREEN

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.

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.

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.

 

With the increasing emphasis on environmental protection all over the world and the scarcity of water resources, every country has continuously improved its environmental protection processing technologies. GN Separation has released a series of separation and conveying equipment to meet the requirements of customers coming from the environmental protection industry for new technologies. GN separation and conveying equipment is widely used in the environmental protection industry for wastewater treatment. GN Separation cannot only provide users with single equipment but also provide turnkey solutions of material separation and conveying for customers in the environmental and wastewater industry. Long-term consumption can enhance physical fitness and is good for health.

ENVIRONMENTAL & WASTEWATER INDUSTRY COMMON APPLICATION

Municipal wastewater includes industrial wastewater and domestic wastewater. The typical urban wastewater treatment process mainly includes mechanical treatment, biochemical treatment, and sludge treatment.

Recovery of various waste oils, including waste residues and oil-water mixtures at the bottom of oil storage tanks, oil residues and waste oils in oil refineries, grease dirt in sewage tanks, waste oil-water mixtures in ships, API oil-water separation oil sludge treatment, lubricant, and grease produced in industrial lubrication production systems.

Oil sludge mainly includes waste oil sludge from the cleaning of crude oil tanks, waste oil sludge from oil refineries, and oily waste from oil and gas drilling. GN oil sludge hot washing technology can reduce the oil content of sludge, recover useful oil, and recycle hot wash water.

The deposit silt in the river or lake is firstly cleared by the dredging boat, and then dewatered and separated by GN multi-stage separation and conveying equipment. The recovered solid can be used for construction or farmland fertilizer, and the recovered water can flow back to the river or lake.

Sand washing is very important for sand and stone extraction, but sand washing also produces a large amount of polluted wastewater. In many places, separation tools such as decanter centrifuges are used to clean sand and gravel washing water.

The purpose of the mud system is to separate the solids from the drilling fluids, although it is true that the Shale Shakers make the equipment vibrate with their motors, the Screen Shakers play an extremely important role when screening the drilling fluids; GN Solids control has managed to develop with high-quality standards with an International format following the norms imposed by the US market, API RP13C or ISO 13501, allowing the manufacture and massive sale of our meshes to the world market, little by little it has been consolidating as a successful option and benefited by the technology offered in its final product.

The GN Shaker Screen was tested by an independent third-party USA company according to API RP 13C(I-SO13501).

(Please contact GN for a detailed API RP13C testing report.)

Features of GN Shaker Screens:

• Automatic Robot Welding of the steel frame to have better quality and consistency.
• High-quality pretension screen for long operation life.
• Four side tension of mesh during the heat press to minimize the gap between the top screen and support screens, in a result extending the screen life. Our competitors normally do not use any tension for heat press.
• GN 3-layer wire meshes for API 60 and above for longer screen life, our competitors normally use 3 layers only for API 120 and above.
• GN wire mesh supplier is an internationally famous brand.
• The steel frame screen is repairable to save cost.
• GN comprehensive line steel frame screen for GN shakers, MI-Swaco Mongoose, Nov Brandt Cobra, Venom,
• VSM-300, FSI screen, Derrick 2000, 500. And we can customize any screen dimension.

ASTM Mesh and API Cut Point:

• ASTM is short for The American Society for Testing and Materials, ASTM E11:01 mesh equals to ISO 3310- 1:2000 mesh. This method determines the cut point of single-layer ASTM screen mesh size. For shaker screen mesh, normally means the surface screen mesh size. Whilst the shaker screen is usually a composition of 2 or 3 layers, the cut point of the first layer’s mesh is not equal to the final shaker screen cut point.
• API is short for American Petroleum Institute, “API Number” is determined by API RP13C or ISO13501, the cut point is related to the combined 3-layer wire mesh test result. So before ordering, GN will need an API number, or the cut point, to define a more proper shaker screen configuration.

GN can produce all kinds of shaker screens:

• GN Solids Control sells around many shale shakers a year, we have shale shakers operating around the world. Using the GN OEM screen will improve your shaker performance and save your operational cost.
