GN Solids Control finished a package of drilling waste management equipment for a regular client in Nigeria. The equipment will be used by a service company for drilling mud solids control and drilling waste management.

The drilling waste management package includes following items:

1) 3 sets VFD decanter centrifuge. The model is GNLW363C-VFD.

It is a 14 inch high speed decanter centrifuge with positive pressurized VFD control panel. GN Solids Control is the few centrifuge supplier who is capable to make positive pressurized VFD panel. The VFD panel is equipped with vortex cooling system, which is specially designed for high temperature area. Operators can setup the temperature inside the VFD control panel to be around 25C degree. It can protect the components. Moreover, there are touch screen and PLC programme for smart control.

While most other centrifuge supplier make normal flameproof VFD control panel. And they use fan for cooling. It does not suit for high temperature area.

2) 2 sets of vertical cuttings dryer. The model is GNCD930F.

Vertical cuttings dryer is also called as vertical centrifuge. It is mainly used for oil based mud and oil based cuttings. It can reduce the OOC (oil on cuttings) to 3% ~ 5%.

Clients can also choose bigger opening screen basket for water base mud treatment.

3) Telescopic skids to hold decanter centrifuge and vertical cuttings dryer.

The telescopic skid is designed to hold the decanter centrifuge, VFD control panel and feeding pump. During shipment, the skid can be felt down to 2500mm. During working, the centrifuge skid can be lift up to designed height. Currently, GN Solids Control makes skid with height to 2800 to 4200mm.

Besides VFD centrifuge, GN Solids Control can make fixed speed centrifuge and FHD centrifuge. And GN Solids Control makes centrifuge with bowl size 9 inch, 14 inch, 18 inch, 22 inch and big bowl decanter centrifuge 30 inch.

GN Solids Control also makes other drilling waste management equipment, including screw conveyor, dewatering unit, high G drying shaker, disc centrifuge, etc…

GN Solids Control just finished a job site training via internet for a client in South America. The training is for number 2 decanter centrifuge GNLW363C-VFD. Now the decanter centrifuge start to running well at rig site. It is a 14inch high speed decanter centrifuge with variable frequency drive (VFD) control panel. The 2 decanter centrifuges are used at the drilling rig mud system in South American.

GN Solids Control 14 inch decanter centrifuge is widely used for various applications. The decanter centrifuge can be used in oil and gas drilling solids control system, used in HDD mud recycling system, used in drilling waste management fine solids separation, used in slurry separation treatment, it can also be used in dewatering treatment system, etc…

GN Solids Control major business is for drilling mud solids control and drilling cuttings treatment. Most decanter centrifuge is designed for drilling mud solids control. GN Solids Control decanter centrifuge is designed and made for both drilling mud solids control and drilling waste management.

Unlike drilling mud treatment decanter centrifuge, drilling waste treatment centrifuge requests better wearing-resistance of the equipment. In this case, the centrifuge centrifuge and vertical cuttings dryer used for waste management must have high material standard:

1) The bearings brand of GN Solids Control decanter centrifuge is international leading brand SKF and FAG. As there are big bearings in the machines.

2) GN Solids Control decanter centrifuge bowl material is SS2304 Duplex made by centrifugal casting.

Besides offering variable speed variable frequency drive (VFD) control panel, GN Solids Control is also capable to offer fixed drive control panel, and full hydraulic drive (FHD) control panel for the 14inch high speed decanter centrifuge. For the fixed speed decanter centrifuge, GN Solids Control can also offer other sets of pulley and belt. The clients can change the pulley and belts to get another fixed speed. The optional speed is 3200rpm, 2800rpm and 1800rpm.

Besides the number 2 decanter centrifuge, there are 2 screw pumps which are used to feed for the 2 decanter centrifuge.

 

Last week, GN Solids Control finished a mud decanter centrifuge dewatering system for a TBM engineering company in China. The decanter centrifuge dewatering unit will be used to treat waste slurry from TBM drilling.

The decanter centrifuge used in the dewatering system is a special model with very huge bowl: GNLW764A-VFD. The bowl size of the centrifuge is 760mm (30 inch) . The bowl length is up to 3328mm. It is a high speed 2-phase decanter centrifuge for liquid and solids separation. The cut point of the centrifuge is 2 ~ 5 microns. It is a dual motor centrifuge. The main drive motor used in the decanter centrifuge is 160Kw, and back drive motor is 90kw.

The chemical dosing unit used in the centrifuge dewatering unit is a very big size GNDW-6000L. The chemical dosing capacity of the unit is 6000L per hour in order to suit the big bowl centrifuge handling capacity.

The GNLW764A-VFD 30 inch big bowl decanter centrifuge is fixed inside a 40ft container, there are windows and door with access to discharge soil by screw conveyors.The GNDW-6000L chemical dosing unit is fixing on another 40ft container and lies on the top of the centrifuge container. It can minimum the footprint to save space.

GN Solids Control makes various sizes of screw conveyor augers for the oil gas industry. The screw conveyor augers are widely used for transfer the drilling cuttings to feed to the cuttings dryer,and cuttings collection box.GN designed 3 size of diameter, 10inch, 12inch, 14inch, 18inch, each size has 4 different length for option according to the drilling site of the customer.GN Solids Control can offer fixed speed gearbox drive and manual adjustable speed gearbox for each size of gearbox.

Some clients want to use Standard Bearing with seal (if possible double bearings) instead of Middle Hanging Bearing core in the hanger bearing for the connection of each auger sections. GN Solids Control does not recommend this design.

Firstly, standard bearing and seal design are costly. Plus it is more complicated to install.

Secondly, the bearing at this location is easy to be worn out,especially be worn out by drilling mud and drilling cuttings. If the seal is not good enough at this location, the bearing will soon be broken.

Moreover, it is inconvenient to replace the bearing and seal after wear. The operators need to fully dismantle the auger for replacing new ones. As far as we know, there are no suppliers in China use standard bearing at this position. Their popular design is using copper sleeves at this location.

GN Solids Control use hanger bearing which are made of alloy materials to fit for oil field drilling waste transfer. Alloy material is more wear-resistant than copper. Plus, GN Solids Control makes the hanger bearing in the form of a separate unit. The parts can be quickly replaced by removing the bolts and mounting brackets in case of needed.

GN Solids Control use helical gear reducer (speed adjuster). It is more stable and less maintenance.
Besides, clients will want there are clear separation between the electric motor and manual speed adjuster (gearbox or reducer) to enable job site operators to remove the electric motors for repair without affecting the gearbox (speed adjuster or reducer). GN Solids Control connect the driven motor and gearbox (speed adjuster reducer) by flange. It is easy for installation and dismantle.

The largest size of Liquid Mud Plant that GN Solids Control has constructed is 35,500 bbls. It is composed of NO. 75 mud tanks. GN Solids Control built  a small liquid mud plant for the client first. They are happy with the performance.

Later on, this year, the client order another big size liquid mud plant with totally 35,500 BBL storage capacity. The 35,500 BBL liquid mud plant include the solids control tank, mixing tank, Brine storage tank, WBM storage tank and OBM storage tank.

The solids control tank and mixing tanks are horizontal tank. The tank size is the same with 40ft container. The lifting is utilizing standard container lifting corners. All storage tanks are vertical type to minimize the footprint.

The solids control tank includes solids control equipment shale shaker and a dual decanter centrifuge package.
The shale shaker model is GNZS594F. It is GN latest design shaker model. It is a 4-panel single deck shale shaker. The shaker screens are complied with API RP13C standard and made from composite material frame.

The dual centrifuge package includes No. 2 high speed decanter centrifuge, the centrifuge model is GNLW363C. It is 14inch bowl size decanter centrifuge with fixed speed control. Clients can choose different sizes of pulley and belt to get another fixed speed. Besides fixed decanted centrifuge, GN Solids Control can offer VFD control and FHD control for GNLW363C centrifuge.

There are 2 mixing tank in the big liquid mud plant. Each mixing tank is composed of No. 2 shearing and mixing hopper, No. 2 mixing pump and No. 2 mud agitators.

Unlike other systems, submersible slurry pump is widely used in the liquid mud plant. Normally GN Solids Control use screw pump to feed for decanter centrifuge. But in this liquid mud plant, the client requests to use submersible slurry pump to feed for the dual centrifuge package.

The client does not use centrifugal pumps for mud mixing but they request submersible slurry pump as well.
Centrifugal pumps are used as transfer pump in the liquid mud plant.
