GN Solids Control is pleased to announce the successful shipment of a comprehensive package of solids control equipment and solids vacuum pumps to a client in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. 

The system integrates three core components, each engineered to perform a critical function in the overall fluid management and waste reduction process:

Vertical Cuttings Dryer: Designed to efficiently separate liquids from drilling cuttings, significantly reducing the volume of drilling waste for disposal. The vertical cuttings dryer is capable of reducing oil-on-cuttings (OOC) to below 5%, minimizing environmental impact and lowering waste disposal costs. Using centrifugal force, the dryer extracts valuable drilling fluids that can be returned to the active system for reuse, maximizing fluid recovery and reducing overall drilling expenses.

Solids Vacuum Pump: A pneumatic transfer pump specifically engineered to move high solids content materials such as drilling waste, oil sludge, and tank bottom sludge. Powered by compressed air rather than electricity, it is ideal for hazardous and explosion-proof zones, ensuring safe operation in challenging field conditions.

Decanter Centrifuge: Providing precision solid-liquid separation, the decanter centrifuge removes fine and ultra-fine solids from drilling fluids, controlling low-shear rate viscosity and recovering valuable barite.

This shipment to the MENA client further reinforces GN Solids Control’s position as a global leader in solids control and drilling waste management solutions. We remain dedicated to providing innovative, reliable equipment that enables our clients to operate safely, efficiently, and sustainably in the world’s most demanding drilling environments.
