GNMS-1000 HDD Mud Cleaning System for overseas drilling company

GN Solids Control has successfully completed a GNMS-1000 HDD mud cleaning system for a Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) project. This advanced mud cleaning system has a handling capacity of 1000 GPM, specifically designed to optimize performance and efficiency in HDD operations.

The system is composed of several key components, each tailored to meet the unique needs of HDD projects. It includes a high-performance shale shaker, a mud cleaner, a jet mud mixing system, and a holding tank, all engineered to deliver optimal mud treatment and separation.

The mud cleaner is a combined unit that integrates a shale shaker along with desander and desilter cones. This combination ensures a multi-stage separation process, effectively removing solids from the drilling fluid. The desander cones remove larger particles, while the desilter cones handle finer solids, ensuring the drilling mud remains clean and well-maintained throughout the operation.

The two shale shakers are connected via a mud distribution box, which helps evenly distribute the mud across both units. The shale shakers are controlled by valves, allowing operators to manage the flow and separation process efficiently. This setup enables precise control over the mud cleaning process, enhancing the overall efficiency of the system.

In addition to the shale shakers and mud cleaner, the system is equipped with a jet mud mixing system, which ensures the consistent preparation and mixing of drilling fluid. The holding tank provides ample storage for the cleaned mud, ready to be reused in the drilling operation.

This complete mud cleaning system is designed to handle the rigorous demands of HDD projects, providing effective solids control and maintaining the quality of drilling fluid. GN Solids Control’s GNMS-1000 system is a reliable, efficient solution that supports smooth operations in various HDD applications, from trenchless drilling to utility installation. With this advanced system, GN Solids Control continues to provide top-tier equipment for the oil and gas, water well, and other drilling industries.

Track Mounted Mud Treatment System for Australia Customer

A complete track-mounted mud system has successfully passed its running test and is now ready for dispatch to an Australian customer. This highly versatile mud treatment system combines several key components, designed for maximum mobility and efficiency in challenging environments. It was designed and made by GN Solids Control.

At the heart of the system is a combination of shale shaker and desilter hydrocyclone assembly, which are essential for efficient mud separation. These units are accompanied by a feeding pump, a small mixing hopper, and a mixing pump, ensuring the system is capable of handling the full spectrum of mud treatment needs. Additionally, the entire system is controlled by an integrated electrical control system, which allows for easy operation and monitoring of all components. The system also features a built-in lighting setup, ensuring optimal visibility even in low-light conditions.

To provide the necessary power for operations, the system is equipped with a small generator, which ensures that all components run smoothly and independently, regardless of external power sources. All of the equipment is mounted on a compact mud tank, which is designed for easy transport and storage. The system is further enhanced by a trailer skid, offering both stability and mobility during transport and setup. Hydraulic jacking legs are included to provide secure positioning on uneven terrain, offering added stability during operation.

One of the key features of this track-mounted system is its advanced mobility. The system can be moved forward or backward using a remote control, which provides excellent maneuverability in difficult terrains. It is also capable of turning and climbing slopes, making it suitable for a wide range of road conditions and environments.

Track-mounted mud treatment systems are commonly used in geothermal well drilling, water well drilling, and other trenchless projects. Their compact design, combined with powerful mud treatment capabilities and enhanced mobility, makes them ideal for operations in remote or difficult-to-access locations. This system’s versatility and efficiency ensure that it will meet the demanding needs of the Australian customer in a variety of challenging drilling environments.
