De-sander is very popular equipment used in solids and liquid separation processing. It always contains cyclone unit and steel frame. With different diameter of the cone body, this cyclone unit could separate the solid particles with different sizes. GN’s de-sander is using 10 inch cyclones which could remove the solids size down to around 45 microns.
GN’s de-sander unit is used in drilling industry to separate the drilling cuttings from the drilling fluids. Traditional de-sander units don’t have the under drying shaker for maximum recovery of the drilling fluids liquid, thus a large amount of valuable drilling fluids was lost. However, this type de-sander and even the de- silter unit are very simple structure and cost effective.

GN De-sander Cleaner

To make the discharged solids much dryer, GN prefer to suggest choosing the de-sander unit with a under drying shaker which could recycle much more drilling fluids. This could reduce the waste discharges to environment and the cost on drilling fluids materials. GN has a de-sander model with under drying shaker of 2 layers screens panel. This unit is functioning as both primary shale shaker and de-sander unit. The drilling fluids gets into this de-sander unit via the mud distributor pipe and then flow on the bottom layer screen firstly for primary solids control. Liquid gets through the screen mesh and falls down to the under located mud tank. Large size particles will be discharged out of the shaker. And then the liquid will be transferred by a centrifugal pump unit to the de-sander cyclone unit for fine solids separation. The mixture of liquid and solids discharged from the cyclone will come to the upper layers screen for drying processing. Here, to prevent the damage of screen mesh resulted by the strong impact force of solids discharged out from the cyclone unit, GN designs small buffer box to cover the outlet of the cyclone. This buffer box is small enough to make the unit more compact.
GN’s double-layer screen panel shale shaker can also be used as only primary shaker for much fine solids separation. Besides de-sander unit, de-silter unit can also use this type shaker as drying shaker.

Last week, GN’s manufacturing department finished the fabrication of a mud mixing tank with double hoppers. Mud mixing tank is widely used in the drilling mud recycling system for mixing and re-configuration the drilling fluids. Also sometimes it will be used for storage the active drilling fluids.

mud mixing tank system

A mud mixing system is always consisting of mixing tank, agitators, mud guns, mixing pump and mud hoppers. Generally, the mixing pump and the mud hopper will be located at one end of the mud tank to make the mixing tank system a compact and single unit, while in some projects, the mixing pump and hopper are installed on a separate skid so that the mixing tank and the jet mud mixer could be used much freely. The picture in this article shows that the jet mud mixer skid was located at one side of the mixing tank. There are one mixing pump and 2 mud
hoppers on the skid. The mixing pump is connected with both hoppers, one of the hoppers is used for mixing barite to make weighted drilling fluids, and the other one is used for adding bentonite into the drilling fluids.
There is a steel frame around second hopper with steel bars over the hopper. This horizontal steel bar is used to hang the bentonite bag which will be hooked at 4 corners of the steel frame to make it easier for adding the bentonite powder into the hopper. It is worthy to mention that the steel bar is with forklift lifting slot so that the bar with bentonite bags could be lift and put on the frame by a forklift to save human power.
This mud mixing system is with a control panel to control mixing pump which could transfer mud to both hoppers. On the mixing tank, there is another charge pump which is used to transfer the active mud back to the rig for reuse.

One set 500GPM drilling mud recycling system was sent to Middle East for water well drilling. Besides the drilling mud recycling system for oil drilling, they also need drill water well for daily requirement for clean water. For the person living in Middle East, water is more important than oil. Sounds like a joke, but this is reality.
Water well is not so deep like the oil well, and the drilling cost is also very cheap comparing with oil drilling. However, both this 2 drilling processes need the drilling mud recycling system to speed up the drilling process and protect the drill bit. Water well drilling may not need the used drilling mud to be separated very clean as it is not requested strictly. Just like this 500GPM unit shipped to Middle East, it is a very compact
model, while it has all the necessary separation equipment.

water well drilling mud system

It has one unit shale shaker GNZS703DZ with 3 panel screens which could remove out the solids always larger than 300 microns. This model is with the mud feeder on top of the shaker deck so that this shaker could be much more compact. As the water well drilling is always not so deep, hence, the solids coming out with the drilling mud is always not so hard. In this 500GPM mud recycling system, the de-sander cone is not equipped, but directly the de-silter cone would be used to separate the solids size of around 20 microns.
This 500GPM water well drilling mud system is a standard GN model GNMS-500G with 2 unit centrifugal pumps. One of each is used as feeding pump for the de-silter cyclone, and the other one is used for mud mixing, the mud tank is divided into 2 compartments. It has enough space for clean mud storage.
Though this 500GPM mud system is for water well drilling, it can also be used in other drilling project like HDD. As the working principle is completely the same. The customer killed two birds with only one stone.

High Efficiency Shear Pump in Mud Recycling System

All large capacity drilling projects such as oil gas drilling, no dig drilling for pipeline laying and water well drilling need drilling fluids when doing the drilling job. There is one type equipment naming shear pump that is an ideal choice for drilling fluids mixing. We could see the drilling fluids as the blood of the drilling equipment.

GN high efficiency shear pump polymer cutting

GN Shearing Pump in Mud System

Here, how to make the drilling blood clean and let the blood perform well is so important to all the drillers. It is known that the drilling project need a drilling fluids recycling system, or we call it mud recycling system. Before start drilling, we need get the mud recycling system ready. On the other hand, we need the drilling fluids to be ready. The drilling fluid is a mixture of water/oil and some mud materials like barite, bentonite, and some other chemical agents. Among the various mud materials, the bentonite is the most important one and the consumption is quite big. Meanwhile, the bentonite is also a polymer which is difficult to solve into the drilling mud base.

Then how should we resolve this problem? Bingo! We need a shear pump. Thanks to the special design of the impeller, the shear pump could cut the polymer into very small pieces so that these materials could solve into the water easily. A high efficiency shear pump could make the consumption of bentonite reduce 30%. Oh my god! Really a large cost saving.

This is not the only advantage to use a shear pump to cut the polymers. Once the drilling started, the solids control equipment will also start running. When the used drilling fluid comes out from the well whole and flow into the shale shaker, the mud recycling process is beginning. If there is much long strips material in the drilling fluids, the screen will be blocked which leads to loss of polymers.
One thing the drilling fluids engineers need pay attention is the shear pump cannot run without fluids inside the pump. As you know, the shear pump is use centrifugal type pump, it need run with liquid to reduce centrifugal force so that the fluids can be transferred continuously. One more, the shear pump cannot be used to transfer used/active mud, as the cuttings in the used mud will definitely damage the pump parts.

Polymer Mixing Unit Used in Solids Control System

BY admin 18 November 2015 Decanter Centrifuge, drilling mud centrifuge, Drilling Waste Management, mud recycling, Solids Control Equipments

The drilling operator might know that after several times reuse of the drilling mud, there will accumulate more and more ultra fine solids in the mud that cannot be separated out with physical method even by using high speed decanter centrifuge unit.
The accumulated solids will rise up the mud specific gravity that will greatly affect the mud performance. While, in order to keep the normal density of the mud, under this circumstance, the flocculation no doubt is the most popular method to be used.

polymer mixing unit

The flocculation process is produced in a type of machine called polymer mixing unit. This unit is used to mix the polymer that will be fed into the centrifuge to gather the fine solids in the mud. This polymer mixing unit is always connected with the centrifuge unit in the solids control system. After the separation by primary solids control equipment like shale shaker and cyclone unit, most of the solids larger than 5 microns could be removed out. The centrifuge unit plays an important role in this flocculation process. Sometimes, this centrifuge is called dewatering centrifuge.
GN’s polymer mixing unit is designed as 3 compartments mixing tank with automatic dosing conveyor and agitating device. Dry chemicals and water are fed into the first compartment for mixing, and then overflow into the second compartment for maturing process. The third compartment is used to store the solutions waiting for use.

dewatering centrifuge

The material of this machine body is PP. At each compartment, there is installed one automatic agitator with stainless steel made agitating shaft and impeller. The chemicals feed hopper is also made of SS304.

In order to realize the continuously mixing, the tank compartments are installed with liquid level control device. The mixing, maturing and storing process continuously transfer with low labor cost. The PLC design makes the operator adjust the solution concentration as per request, high automatic degree, and no need human watch over.
GN could provide the polymer mixing unit with dewatering centrifuge containerized for weather proof. For more information, welcome click to see GN Dewatering System.
