Core Equipment: Big Bowl Centrifuges and Cuttings Dryers

The GNLW453D-VFD Big Bowl Mud Centrifuge is engineered for high-capacity fine solids separation. The VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) system allows for precise adjustment of bowl speed and differential speed, optimizing separation performance based on fluctuating feed conditions. With its larger bowl diameter, this centrifuge provides higher processing capacity, making it ideal for large-scale drilling operations where efficient fluid recovery and density control are critical.

The GNCD930G Vertical Cuttings Dryer is a core piece of equipment for drilling waste management. Designed to treat drill cuttings discharged from shale shakers, particularly when drilling with oil-based or synthetic-based mud, it utilizes high-speed centrifugal force to effectively remove residual liquid. This process reduces oil-on-cuttings (OOC) content, recovering valuable drilling fluid for reuse while producing drier solids for easier and more cost-effective disposal.

Supporting Equipment: Pumps and Conveyors

To ensure a continuous and integrated workflow, the system is equipped with:

10 Sets of Feed Pumps: Providing reliable transfer of drilling fluids to the centrifuges for consistent processing.

10 Sets of Screw Conveyors: Designed for efficient, automated transport of the dried solids from the cuttings dryers to collection containers or subsequent disposal points.
