1500HP Drilling Rig Solids Control Equipment for Middle East Customer
We are proud to announce the successful supply and shipment of a complete set of high-performance solids control equipment for a 1500HP drilling rig to a valued customer in the Middle East. This package is engineered for efficiency, reliability, and superior drilling fluid management in demanding operations.
The key components of this system include:
1. Three Units of GNZS594K Shale Shakers
As the first-phase and key solids control equipment in the drilling mud system, the shale shaker's performance is critical, determining the overall effectiveness of the entire solids control system. The GNZS594K model offers robust performance with adjustable deck angles ranging from -1° to +5°. It features an adjustable G-force of ≤7.5G and a reference capacity of 140 m³/h (616 GPM). Each unit is powered by two 1.94 kW vibration motors and utilizes a 4-panel screen setup for efficient primary solids removal.
GN Solids Control understands that needs can vary. Therefore, we can design and supply customized configurations, including double or triple shakers mounted on a single skid, complete with relevant connecting manifolds. Reflecting current industry standards, we offer both third-generation linear motion and fourth-generation balanced elliptical motion shale shakers to suit specific application requirements.
2. One Unit of GNZS594K-2S12NK Mud Cleaner
The GNZJ series mud cleaner is a standard and highly effective model in our portfolio. We specialize in designing cost-effective, customized mud cleaners to meet specific client needs for both oil & gas drilling and HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling) mud recycling systems.
This particular GNZS594K-2S12NK Mud Cleaner combines the functions of a shaker and a desander/desilter into one efficient unit. It boasts a high treating capacity of 240 m³/h (1056 GPM). Like the primary shakers, it offers an adjustable deck angle (-1° to +5°) and an adjustable G-force of ≤7.5G, ensuring optimal separation of finer solids.
3. One Unit of GNZCQ270 Vacuum Degasser
Effective gas removal is essential for maintaining drilling fluid density and preventing hazards. The GNZCQ270 Vacuum Degasser is designed for this critical task. With a main vessel diameter of 920mm, it can handle flows of up to 270 m³/h (1188 GPM). It achieves a high gas removal efficiency of ≥95%, ensuring a safer and more stable drilling fluid system.
4. Two Units of GNLW363D Decanter Centrifuges
For advanced solids control and fine particle separation, the package includes two GNLW363D Decanter Centrifuges. These high-speed units feature a 14-inch (360mm) centrifugally cast duplex stainless steel bowl with a long 3.5:1 length-to-diameter ratio, enabling high rotational speeds of up to 4000 RPM.
Durability and longevity are key design focuses. The centrifuge incorporates tungsten carbide hardened tiles on the solids conveyor and features replaceable ceramic/tungsten carbide inserts at critical wear points like the feed distribution and solids discharge zones. Additionally, tungsten carbide plows continuously clear the discharged solids. To ensure maximum operational reliability and an extended service life between overhauls, all bearings fitted in the GNLW363 centrifuge are premium SKF brand bearings.
This comprehensive solids control package demonstrates our commitment to providing advanced, reliable, and customized solutions for the global drilling industry. We are confident that this equipment will deliver outstanding performance for our Middle East client's 1500HP drilling operations.
