GN screw press dewatering unit is designed and made to treat sludge and sewage waste water. GN screw press dewatering machine is widely used in sewage treatment projects of municipal, aquaculture, food, starch, oil, pharmaceutical, chemical, paper, leather and other industries.

GN screw press dewatering unit is a kind of economic and environmental friendly sludge dewatering treatment product. It is a new type of sludge extrusion dewatering equipment by using the principle of screw extrusion, through the strong squeezing force generated by the change of screw diameter and screw pitch, and the tiny gap between the floating ring and the fixed ring, to realize solid-liquid separation.

GN dewatering screw press unit includes below items:
1.PLC Smart control electrical panels for automatic control.
2.Chemical enhancing dewatering system for mixing and dosing flocculants into the waste water, slurries or sewage.
3.Sludge thickening and dewatering device
4.Liquid collecting tank to receive the recovered water from the screw press treatment.

GN dewatering screw press unit is with automatic control technology, which can mix and enhance flocculants automatically. After chemical enhancing, the screw dewatering press unit can running continuously to complete the sludge thickening and squeezing, finally return or discharge the collected filtrate liquid.

Besides dewatering screw press unit, GN Solids Control also makes automatic tank cleaning system. GN system is running automatically after preset parameters of the control panel. By adding the right tested chemicals, operators can achieve a satisfied liquid separation result. It can save time and save water in this case to further save cost. Some users of automatic tank cleaning system mentioned that, before without the automatic tank cleaning system they took 4 ~ 5 workers to clean one tank with 4-6 hours, now they just need 2 workers to clean one in 2-3 hours. It saves 80% man power and operation time.

If clients could share some technical demands, GN Solids Control is willing to check with engineering team and offer a customized solution to suit for clients; projects.

GN Drilling Waste Cutting Dewatering System

Drilling cuttings would be produced when drilling. In order to recover and reuse the drilling fluids, the operator need remove the drilling cutting from the drilling fluids. The well known equipment to remove the cutting from drilling fluids is the solids control equipment. So, what is the cuttings dewatering system? And how it works to remove the cuttings in the drilling fluids?

The drilling fluids with cuttings coming from the well hole is fed to the shale shaker unit via the elevated pipeline, this the method used in oil rig package. For some other drilling project, like the no-dig horizontal directional drilling, the used drilling fluids would be collected into a pit on the ground, and then the fluids would be transferred by a slurry pump to the shale shaker unit.

Mud Dewatering

Shale shaker unit is the first stage for removing the coarse size cuttings in the drilling fluids. And then the de-sander and de-silter cyclone could remove out the cuttings with size down to around 20 microns. The used drilling fluids treated by the de-silter cyclone are already clean enough to be reused. However, the cuttings with size less than 20 microns would build up to make a heavy mud which is not suitable for normal drilling application.
The dewatering system is especially equipped to remove the ultra fine solids that even cannot be separated by the decanter centrifuge unit. A decanter centrifuge like GN’s 22 inch model GNLW553 can remove the cutting with size down to 5 microns. For the even finer cuttings, we need a flocculation process to gather the ultra fine solids so that the decanter centrifuge could remove out. The polymer mixing system is a critical part of the dewatering system, GN’s polymer mixing system is designed with powder hose conveyer, automatic dosing system, mixing tank and diaphragm pump for transferring the polymer to the drilling fluids. For better flocculation process, always one acid tank and one alkali tank is equip to make the suitable PH value.
Sometimes, the drilling fluids are mixture of water and oil, GN is also able to provide the oil water separator system for recovering the water and oil.
GN now has already have the design of the complete system for drilling cutting dewatering system, for more
